For the first time in our 22-year history, we have one easily understood and unifying message.

Ira inspired our more than 800 attendees. He inspired them to think differently about how to present themselves verbally and in writing, through the entire job hunting process. He underscored the importance of telling your story through your client or prospective employer's eyes. We received many favorable comments about his topic. We were very glad to have Ira as part of the panel of ABA speakers.

Ira is the best messaging guy on the planet. Period. His company, The Chief Storyteller, has helped me with three different startup company ideas. In just a few hours, he makes an impact. It's what his company does over the long term that makes the real difference. They help with messaging of your company, products and services across all potential touch points for clients and prospects. I strongly encourage you to see how they can make a difference for you.

It’s the best presentation I have been through on social media and I have been through many!! I need to think about our messages and processes as we help our members be better business owners and marketers. Your ideas, approaches, and tools were outstanding. They will help us move into the 21st century of marketing. You present this topic in such an eloquent way!

I love to start out a conference with a strong keynote speaker - and you certainly filled that bill well. I also love it when my friends make me look good - so thank you for that as well. You left our conference attendees with some great take-away information and I kept hearing about it throughout the rest of the conference. Truly what you had to say struck a nerve.
— Penny Pompei, National Executive Director, Women Construction Owners Executives

Ira is an effective, engaging presenter. He made learning fun, connected with our members with tailored content, and presented business storytelling techniques and principles in such a way that my members wanted to use them right away. Because of the positive reviews the members gave his presentation, we invited Ira back for the following year’s conference. True to expectations, he delivered another great session that gave our members tools they could put to use immediately. I highly recommend him.

Ira Koretsky made me look good. I recommended him as a personal development speaker at our annual meeting in Denver. As one of ten concurrent sessions, this type of program generally pulls about 100 participants, tops. More than 400 people showed up for Ira's session and stayed. The real estate industry relies on strong personal relationships and trust. Increasingly, demands make it easy to lose sight of this. Several industry legends told me that Ira's program was something of an intervention, putting them back on the game where it belonged—with people. Thanks, Ira!

As someone in the webinar industry, I see hundreds of them every year. Ira's was the best I have ever seen. His slides were visually engaging, stories insightful and on point, and messages practical and compelling. Something I have never experienced before in a webinar was Ira's use of interactive exercises--yes exercises. They were all relevant and helped bring to life his concepts--something challenging to do in web presentations.

When it came time to attend the Financial Executives International Annual Conference in Phoenix, I was on the fence. I looked through the program to make a final decision. Your two seminars caught my eye and became the tipping point for my attending and flying from Canada. As I participated in your sessions, your messages resonated with me and became the highlights of the conference. Thanks for communicating some great tools to use in my current role.
— David Turner, Chief Operating Officer, Skystone International, Alberta, Canada

That was a great joy being on Mr. Koretsky’s lecture “Three Steps to Tell Your Business Story” in Tbilisi, Georgia. The whole story told by him was so friendly, easy-going and well understandable. It brought me great pleasure. I suppose that the confidence and the knowledge came to him during his tremendous experience (speaking from the age of 15—wow!!) and I am very thankful to him and the whole CRDF organization for this very enjoyable conference.

I want to pay you the highest compliment. I didn't look at my watch even once until I realized that your presentation was over!
— Hop Davies, Director, Navigant Consulting, VA

As a non-native English speaker, I had been nervous about public presentations. Thank you for all your help. I was prepared, in control, natural, and funny. I had my best presentation in my "American" Life! I was able to setup first meetings for 99% of the attendees. LOVE you for turning me into a PRO!

We knew after the first week that this would be the best investment we ever made. We have been in business 10 years and The Chief Storyteller did more in terms of sales and marketing than any previous firm. Ira listened and tailored his Power Story Process to our business and our personality. Our new proposal design, sales process, and updated web site content are winning more business. Ira has shown us the tremendous value in telling OUR story.

'The Boot Camp to Master Business Storytelling' is a terrific learning experience that focuses and sharpens how you tell your business story and how to communicate it based on the reaction you are getting. It's the best communications training I've experienced.
— Bob Rossi, Vice President, Transwestern Commercial Services, MD

I'm not saying this to butter you up. I must commend you on your presentation at our annual conference. I have an awful attention span and you kept me actively engaged for the entire session. I felt quite inspired upon walking out the door! It was an excellent note to end the conference on.
— Vance Jones, Senior Planner, EIP Associates, CO

Ira helped bring out the very best in us. We learned insightful and invaluable approaches to presenting centered around delivering a compelling and sales-focused message. He helped us hone our story and graphics along with creating a powerful sales script. He molded his process to our individual and corporate requirements, ensuring that we had the utmost confidence in ourselves and our presentation. The Chief Storyteller Program helped us form new partnerships and open new doors.
