How Ann Works With Events
Talks
Ann delivers talks for conferences, corporate events, and leadership summits, built around her four signature talks and tailored to your audience. She blends storytelling from a career in journalism with a clear, practical framework people can use the next day. Her sessions push people to think critically, to shift their mindset, and to leave with practical strategies for success.
Panel Moderation & Emcee
Ann moderates panels, leads live Q&A, and emcees events with the instincts of a journalist: the right question at the right moment, and the ability to keep a room engaged and on track. She creates an atmosphere of collaboration and connection, and makes every session feel like a critical exchange of ideas, sparking curiosity and driving meaningful dialogue.
On-Camera Host
Drawing on Emmy Award-winning broadcast experience, Ann hosts corporate video, nonprofit campaigns, and public-facing content. She makes complex subjects clear and keeps viewers with her. Her style goes beyond just “hosting.” She crafts an experience that engages, educates, and motivates, ensuring every audience feels seen and heard, whether they are in the room or watching from home.
Thought Leadership & Expert Commentary
Ann is sought out for her perspective on executive presence, communication under pressure, and women’s leadership, on conference stages, expert panels, and in the media. She also speaks on leadership forged through adversity, drawing directly on her own cancer diagnosis and recovery, a chapter that stripped away everything performative and changed how she understands communication entirely. She speaks from lived experience and gives audiences something practical to carry out of the room.
