Hi, I’m Miranda

Like many business owners, I spend a lot of time on Zoom getting to know people, and I truly enjoy it.

To make the most of our time together, here’s a few quick things to know about me….

#1 -  My “WHY” is to build relationships based on trust. 

That’s what led to me to start this business — getting so mad at events when speakers betrayed the trust of the audience by not delivering the caliber of learning they deserved. (Here’s more about that.) 

👏 What gets me excited:

  • Learning about your business and goals

  • Making connections between good people to help them do good work

  • Discovering new opportunities for speakers that I know will be the perfect fit for an event and deliver great value to the audience

#2 -  I believe in long-term relationships 

I never stop looking for ways to help the speakers and event organizers in our network, whether they’re current clients or not. When you’re in the family, you’re in the family for life. Paying it forward always works out.

#3 -  I’ve had a really varied career path, and everything has led me to this role

Except, perhaps, my knowledge of chicken first-aid and goat maintenance. 

From the White House to the Entrepreneurs' Organization, I consider myself fortunate to have had a very non-linear journey. 

Other topics I’ll happily talk about (even when I probably should be talking about business):

Hiking, travel, dogs, summer camp, my pandemic experience on a farm, and community building. And of course, all things related to events and public speaking! 

I can’t wait to meet you!

🥴 What repels me:

  • Cold outreach that pretends to know me, offers of commission or referral fees 

  • The idea of taking commission for introductions

  • Pushing forward a speaker that I don’t feel is the right fit

Fun fact: Every summer I spend two weeks as the Camp Mom at my old summer camp in NC, playing with kids, dancing in costumes, and getting in shaving cream fights.
