DESIGNED BY A PUBLIC SPEAKING VETERAN

Ira Koretsky, CEO of The Chief Storyteller®, is a conference presentation veteran, having delivered more than 550 keynote presentations and workshops in 11 countries, to more than 40,100 people. He designed these services for you, whether new or experienced.

The Chief Storyteller® offers complete and à la carte conference presentation services for your Keynote, General Session, Main Stage, Workshop, Launch Event, Moderator Role, and Panelist Role.

Ira remembers when he was a new speaker, planning to deliver his first conference presentation in 2004. He presented his signature Leaders STORY ™ (Leaders to the Power of Story ™) workshop at the annual ASAE Great Ideas Conference.

Nearly 20 years later, Ira has spoken for ASAE eight times and internationally to more than 319 different organizations.

He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, where he teaches Communications. In the course, Ira teaches about 70 honors students in public speaking, data storytelling, and business storytelling. The student final is a five-minute TED-Style Talk. Students pick their topic, develop engaging presentation visuals, craft a compelling narrative told through the eyes of a personal story, and teach us something new, as all good TED, TEDx, and Public Speakers do.

Below, you will find two sections describing the various conference presentation services. Contact us today and learn more about how we will make your upcoming conference presentation (more) engaging, (more) memorable, and (more) inspiring.

In all the years as executive director, I cannot remember watching a keynote from start to finish. I’m typically handling any number of conference-related questions or issues. For Ira’s keynote, I stayed the entire time. His warmth, humor, and passion engaged the audience members from the first few words. Ira energized the audience with a variety of insightful approaches to being stronger communicators and better business storytellers. Six months later, our members are still talking about him.

As a non-native English speaker, I had been nervous about public speaking. I was prepared, in control, natural, funny. I had my best presentation in my ‘American’ life! Love you for turning me into a PRO!

Eszter K.Senior Adviser

It was more than a keynote, it was a kickoff. Ira excited our group with new ways of looking at our industry. I loved that he engaged our members quickly and fully. It's rare for us to have the entire audience participating. Ira had us out of our seats with relevant and fun exercises. Our members were talking about Ira's keynote conference presentation throughout the event and have continued to do so. It was a great start to our conference.

“We have just one opportunity to present our story, our capabilities, our ‘why us?’” And after her big presentation, Gloria called Ira and told him, “The presentation went very, very, very well! Amara landed the contract.”

I love our investor presentation deck. And I love how much easier public speaking is for me now. Thank you for all of your coaching. It really, really, really paid off. I have won numerous pitch competitions. I've been featured in magazines. And most importantly, we raised over $1M in our first round. THANK YOU!

Sue CarrCEO, CarrTech

Simplify and tell better stories… Those were my big takeaways. You helped me develop and deliver an "unforgettable conference presentation" at the most important industry conference. Your help was instrumental in my success. More participants than ever before came up to me afterward to talk, to learn more, and to request follow up meetings.
