Green Light to Shine

Sharon was relateable, and brought the whole group into a relevant conversation about the start of the school year, lifting up the workers behing the scene, Custodians, Child Nutrition, Bus Drivers and Office Coordinators. If Teachers, Parapro's or Administrators would have been presant - she would have wrapped them into the conversation as well.

She is a great Motivational Humorist, and everyone LOVED her.
WOW! Not one bad comment. So revelevant!

What to expect

Sharon Lacey works closely with each client to be sure to provide exactly the kind of performance you're hoping for. Whether you're looking for a keynote speech, a workshop session, or corporate entertainment, you won't be getting some canned "one-size-fits-all" presentation. Communication is key to making sure that the client is completely satisfied. You can rest assured that Sharon does her research, and that audiences come away feeling happy, energized, and inspired.

About

Sharon Lacey is a Corporate Comedian/ Motivational Humorist who believes life should be an adventure! With a degree in Mass Communication, Sharon started out with on-air jobs in several radio and television stations, and eventually was a news producer at KGW-TV in Portland.

Wanting to make a more “positive” impact on the world, Sharon next began a career as a teacher. She is a national winner of the prestigious Disney American Teacher Award, and was awarded several other honors including TCI Oregon Teacher of the Year, and the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholarship.

At age 50, Sharon decided to take on a new challenge: Stand up comedy. She now headlines comedy clubs all across America, has been on two tours of Iraq and Kuwait to entertain U.S. troops, and just returned from her third headlining tour in Africa where she performs for Ugandan audiences in two of their tribal languages. Sharon is most proud of the fundraising work she does, delivering desperately needed supplies to the children and elderly in Ugandan villages.

What do clients have to say about her? Keep reading:

Overall it went great and she was a real hit." --Danielle Williamson, Entertainment Coordinator, Annual Statewide Conference Washington Association of School Business Office Employees

"It was a delight having her at our Damsels event. Her show was a great way for us to end our event." --Sue Rutherford, Damsels in De-Stress, Prescott, AZ

"Sharon Lacey was a wonderful addition to our party. Since we hired her months in advance, we were able to communicate through e-mail up to the last minute about last minute details. She was professional, accommodating, and very funny.....Heard great reviews from the crowd." --Debbie H., Christmas Party, Oak Harbor, WA

Additional booking notes

The only thing I require the client to provide is a good hand-held microphone/sound system. If the microphone is wireless, please be sure that the batteries are fresh and that there are also extra new batteries standing by, just in case!
