Public Speaking & Facilitating

I enjoy creating presentations, drafting remarks for others to deliver and facilitating gatherings.  

All Hands and Major Company Meetings

At Spin, I hosted monthly All Hands and major company meetings to bring together 450 employees for inspiring stories about the business, mission and values. I collaborated with colleagues to elevate their presentations and incorporated creative engagement strategies with trivia, polls, praise and employee stories.

TEDxEmory

At TEDxEmory 2019, I spoke about falling in love with side projects, chronicling five of my favorite experiments to seek out creativity, independence and joy.

The opportunity to share my message with college students at Emory University resonated as I set out to encourage the student audience to think differently about their future personal and professional paths. 

Digital Philanthropy Panels 

I organized and facilitated a panel conversation series with thought leaders in the field of social impact in partnership with my past blog, Why We Give. I shared stories of ordinary philanthropists and partnered with General Assembly, a skills based trade school with campuses in New York City and Atlanta.

I convened corporate social responsibility champions, community organizers, nonprofit founders and marketing leaders to share their stories and discuss the future of giving. 

Communications Network Conference 

I developed and presented a workshop on “Editorial Wishes and Calendar Dreams: Systems of the Proactive and Productive” to 75 attendees at ComNet 2018, a conference with 1,000 communications leaders.

I shared case study solutions with multiple tools, including, Asana, Google Sheets, Slack and Quip. I also discussed the best practices needed in order to become communications air traffic control for elite editorial calendar status.
