So... What do Denver, Las Vegas and Orlando have in common? I'm headed to each city in April.
Hi there! Welcome to Ansley Insights, a monthly-ish email from yours truly and Ansley Corporate Entertainment.
As the warmer weather returns, so does the travel. I'm feeling the "Corporate Entertainer and Trainer" life because I'm really hitting the road (and skies) in April.
Here are some highlights from March...
- Facilitated two Speed Networking sessions - at OneSpartanburg Inc's Women's Conference and the Charlotte Area Chamber Business Expo 2024
- Delivered "The Art of Public Speaking" workshop (virtual)
- Celebrated the 5th Women's Stand-Up Comedy Class of Charlotte at their graduation showcase performance at Divine Barrel Brewing
- Hosted my "7 Secrets of Public Speaking" info session (webinar)
- Delivered my signature keynote, "The Funny Thing About Perseverance" both in person and virtually
- Emceed the NACE CADES Awards Banquet at Hyatt Centric SouthPark
- Hosted "Comedy Bingo" at the Matthews Community Theater
- Watched the reunion of Love is Blind Season 6 and binged The Traitors: Season 1 and 2 (email me about either and let's dish!)
And there's more excitement planned for April...
1. First stop: Denver, CO to deliver a two-day, customized training of "The Art of Powerful Presentations."
This training is designed to help ensure my client's sales team is really nailing their client-facing, group sales presentations and standing out from their competition.

2. Next stop: Las Vegas, NV to emcee the SHRM Talent Conference & Expo!
No biggie, just TWO THOUSAND (not a typo!) attendees getting the latest updates on recruiting and retaining the best talent.
I'll be engaging the crowd, hosting intentional networking sessions, and introducing speakers on the main stage. DJ Jeff with Soulful Sounds is joining me to amp up the crowd in style.
Fun Fact: DJ Jeff and I "met online" (his wife loves that joke!) in a networking group and even hosted several virtual events together before realizing we live in the same neighborhood - small world.
3. Final stop: Orlando, FL to emcee a company conference for over 500!
This client has grown their division from 150 to 500+ people(!) since their last conference, which I also emceed. So it'll be a real treat to see some familiar faces along with so many new ones.
We're focusing on creating a thoughtful, energizing atmosphere to encourage the team to connect, engage and learn from each other.
Speaking of connecting audiences...
Part of an emcee's job is to help make sure the audience is engaged, and a great way to achieve this is to encourage them to meet and interact with each other - watch the video below for more insights.
