Keynote Speaker
"About Ann: When attendees say the experience
was 'truly outstanding' and 'potentially life-changing,
you know you have a winner."
Maria Coldwell, Early Music America
What do your attendees want from a keynote speaker? Someone who understands their challenges, respects their intelligence, and offers actionable take-aways. Someone with an inspiring message. And someone who remembers: girls wanna have fun, too.
I love speaking to a room full of ambitious women. The energy gets so electrifying, you know it's life-changing. I get to share my 20+ years of research as a coach and women's studies professor. In fact, I've been giving speeches about the female experience since I competed in original oratory back in high school.
My favorite topics:
- clarity and accomplishment
- leadership
- self-presentation
- work-life balance
- professional development
- personal growth
