LL1831-Influence Equation Keynote At CCA Live Milwaukee - Leading Leaders - Leading Leaders TV

In this high‑octane keynote, J. Loren Norris pulls the audience into his personal saga of battlefield aircraft, a near‑fatal motorcycle crash, and a chaotic t‑shirt venture—all to illustrate why storycraft is the engine of kingdom‑building leadership. He breaks down the Story Power Method’s four‑step framework—Storycraft, Stagecraft, Connection, Narrative—and shows how a single, well‑timed anecdote can out‑shine a polished PowerPoint deck.Norris recounts his rise from a 91‑day Toastmasters certification to the world championship stage in Las Vegas, emphasizing that true influence isn’t earned by ego‑driven fiefdoms but by letting the Holy Spirit shape the narrative. He contrasts preaching to 12‑year‑olds versus 35‑year‑old executives, revealing how the same redemption story must be reframed for each audience.The keynote also dives into practical lessons: why a C‑17’s takeoff from Baghdad matters to a speaker’s urgency, how a Dale Carnegie course sparked 30 promotions, and why a misplaced wedding ring at a gas pump can become a powerful testimony of grace. Throughout, Norris challenges leaders to stop building personal empires and start leading the narrative that advances faith, family, and freedom.Listeners leave with a clear action plan: identify their God‑given narrative, craft a concise story that resonates, and deploy it on platforms from the pulpit to TikTok. The episode is a rallying cry for anyone who wants to turn storytelling into a strategic weapon for kingdom impact.
