Anne Bonney: Energizing, Engaging and Collaborative Emcee

I deliver keynote speeches, breakout workshops, and hour to multi-day seminars. I assist meeting planners in creating a cohesive event, bringing together the topic of my keynote with the breakout sessions. I have also created promotional videos for events, letting prospective attendees know what to expect from my keynote at an event.
I am experienced as an emcee as well, and enjoy helping to bring together award ceremonies or other evening events that require a guide throughout.
I am energetic, positive and flexible, and am committed to making any event I'm a part of into a big success, whether that's simply showing up on time, or helping to plan out the day's events. Let's chat, and I'll help if I can.

Close the Window: The Self-Awareness Advantage

Working with humans can be messy. (I don't need to tell you that!) People misread emails or comments, take things the wrong way, and suddenly your team’s energy is being spent on decoding tone instead of solving problems. That’s where Emotional Intelligence (EQ) swoops in like the workplace superhero it is—and the best part? Anyone can learn it at any stage of their life or career.

In this high-energy, laugh-and-learn keynote, Anne Bonney takes your audience on a deep dive into the heart of EQ—starting with the power of self-awareness and self-accountability. With her signature humor, relatable stories (including an unfortunate trip down the deodorant aisle), and interactive moments that get people thinking, Anne shows how tuning in to your own emotions can transform how you show up, communicate, and tackle challenges.

Your people will walk away fired up to understand their reactions, take ownership of their impact, and use their EQ to show up like the collaborating, innovating rockstars they were meant to be—without burning out or biting someone’s head off.
