Stories from Jimmy Naraine’s students

I was passionate about my mission but lacked a clear social media strategy... Instagram grew from 1,000 to 127,000 followers, increasing reach from 40,000 to 30 million in one year... My viral content led to sold-out classes in multiple cities in Canada, Florida, Las Vegas, and beyond, proving the real-world impact of my digital presence.

My confidence became a skill. My ideas became organized. And my voice became something I could finally stand behind with certainty, consistency, and trust... In the past two weeks alone, I flew to Africa to speak at a business retreat and delivered a 6-hour Makeup & Mindset Masterclass that evolved into a licensable, category-creating transformation methodology. That NEVER would have happened at this level without the identity shift this program activated in me.

I didn't fully understand my potential for storytelling and how it could transform my business and social media presence... At the beginning of March, only a couple of sessions into the course, my account's reach was 40k in the previous 30 days, and I had 1,000 followers. By May 17th, I had a reach of 8.4M accounts in the previous 30 days and 20k followers.

I started tracking my progress when the course began, and at that time, I had 1,000 followers and a reach of 40,000. Now we have 131,000 followers and our reach has hit 30 million... I just hoped to fill my classes but instead, this has completely changed my life and grown a beautiful community

Speaking & Influence didn't just teach me how to speak. It reminded me that my voice matters... I leave this program with a deeper confidence in my voice, a clearer sense of who I am when I speak, and a new belief that my words can land, resonate, and make a difference.

It isn't just making me a better speaker, it's helping me clean up my overall message and step into the version of myself I've been building toward for years... It unlocked a whole creative wave. Courses, programs, my talks, my storytelling, everything feels more intentional and more me... The book isn't just a book anymore; it's becoming a foundational piece of a much bigger vision and yes a movement. And that's because this program helped me find the voice that was already inside me, I just hadn't tuned it properly.

Before this program I was a total social media PHOBE - I had no use for it, and felt it was a necessary evil - but dreaded "having" to use it... Now I see it as a gift to be able to actually share something of value and impact others - not for entertainment or to "influence" more consumerism - but to profoundly improve their lives.

At the start of the course, I had a reach of 40,000 and about 1,000 followers; by May, I had reached 8.4 million accounts and grown to 37,000 followers... This growth has opened doors I never imagined and it's just the beginning.

My exposure to public speaking was typically via rather rigid: cookie-cutter formats, often impersonal but if personal, it typically involved overly dramatic accounts of the speaker's struggle that often seemed to be manipulative... He guided us over 5 months to optimize our speaking skills in an authentically compelling manner, with several tools added to our public engagement toolkit.
