Keynote Topics

Keynote #1 : PUNCH IT MARGARET!: Dancing Through Discomfort, Change and The Messy Middle

Change can be intimidating. Whether it’s a bold new idea, organizational transformation, evolving industries, rapidly modernizing technology (A.I. anyone?), or personal transitions, the uncertainty of change can leave us freaking out and paralyzed. But here’s the truth: change ain’t going away. Shoot, it’s the only thing we can count on in today’s lightning-fast world. The question is, how do you find the courage to face it head-on and get through it with maybe an ounce of grace?

In this dynamic and energizing keynote, Anne will empower you to step boldly into the unknown. Drawing from her acclaimed book, GET OVER IT! and her personal experiences and accomplishments, Anne delivers practical tools, high-energy insights, and a whole lot of fire to help build the confidence and resilience to navigate change like a pro. This isn’t just a keynote; it’s a rallying cry to embrace the challenges of transition with courage and resilience.

Your audience will leave able to:
• Confidently tackle and even lead through change with courage and resilience.
• Overcome fear of the unknown by shifting mindset and taking purposeful action.
• Transform change into an opportunity for growth, unity, and renewed energy, boosting productivity and morale.

Keynote #2 : Close the Window: The Self-Awareness Advantage Emotional Intelligence for a more engaged and accountable workplace

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 a failed attempt to turn a pair of jeans into a flotation device), and interactive moments that get people thinking, Anne shows how tuning in to your own emotions can transform how you build influence, communicate, and tackle challenges.

Your audience will leave fired up to:
· Explore their reactions
· Take ownership of their impact
· Use their EQ to show up like the collaborating, innovating rockstars they were meant to be
· All while decreasing overwhelm and increasing resilience!
