“Stories are a natural stimulant. They are the antidote to boredom and indifference.”

This philosophy has guided Lori’s consulting work in strategy, enterprise-wide change, and performance improvement for almost twenty years.

However, it was not until 1999 that she came to truly grasp the need to make story work conscious and purposeful rather than happenstance. The turning point was the night before a keynote talk to eleven hundred people in Seattle, Washington, which she planned to give without relying on visual aids.
