Presentation Skills Training & Energizing Entertainment

I had the pleasure of participating in a two-day workshop “The Art of Powerful Presentations” designed and lead by Lauren Ansley of Ansley Corporate Entertainment. Our team rarely has the opportunity to be in the same room together, since many of us travel often for work. This workshop not only honed our public speaking and presentation skills, but also gave us the opportunity to bond authentically as a group. We are already using the tactics Lauren taught about introducing each other with excitement, actively engaging and listening when we are not the speaker, and of course knowing that preparation is key!

Over the course of the two days, we each had a 90 second presentation to prepare and ultimately present to the entire group. I was blown away to see the progress each of us had from start to finish. The tools I learned in this workshop will certainly come in handy for the next big presentation…but also the next sales call, the next panel I moderate and of course…the next time I can introduce a fellow colleague.

Lauren was a key success factor in the successful execution of our US Finance Conference earlier this year where she served as our emcee. She was upbeat, helpful, and led us through a variety of fun icebreakers and engaging entertainment.

Come for the training, stay for the entertainment! Initially booked Lauren as part of a three-speaker line-up for a local SHRM Chapter half-day event. Later added virtual music bingo as a wrap-up social event. Lauren’s session and virtual music bingo with her and DJ Jeff were both big hits. You should definitely consider Lauren and her associates if you are looking for something fun and different to add to your next event.

This was such a well-crafted and curated training, and I appreciate how tailored it was for our needs while also allowing our members the space to learn and grow with their own needs. Great job, and so appreciated! It was also FUN.

Lauren helped us pull together 4 different holiday parties for our global company and I must say it was a success!! I love the versatility that she offers for entertainment which allows for us to not get bored or the event to become dull. The last thing we want during these times of covid is another Zoom meeting but rather than Zoom us OUT her and the team really zoomed us IN!! Thank you to Lauren and her staff for an absolute incredible event!!

Lauren is amazing! She’s hilarious! She came to my opening event for my HOTWORX business and was the emcee. I couldn’t do it without her! Raffles, music bingo, and challenges! We all had so much fun! 10/10 recommend using her services for anything your business needs in terms of entertainment!

-Taylor Hicks, HOTWORX

Lauren served as the Emcee for a women's conference that I hosted and hiring her was my favorite thing about the event! Leading up to the event Lauren spent a lot of time with me brainstorming opportunities to keep everything flowing and exciting for the participants. Our attendees were laughing within the first 30 seconds, and she kept them engaged, informed and happy throughout the event. I give Lauren Ansley my highest and best recommendation without hesitation.

Lauren Ansley really knocked it out of the ballpark at our January Charlotte Area SHRM meeting! Not knowing what to expect when placing a comedian in the middle of a group of HR professionals, I was thrilled at their reaction. Lots of laughter! The group was totally involved in the mini-breakout sessions and very active in sharing their thoughts about the topic of perseverance. It was a great way to kick off the new year!

How do you handle 300 plus attendees for a session of speed networking—the answer is Lauren Ansley! She guided us with ease and humor, streamlining this valuable networking session for our conference. Her orchestration and ability to make it fun, keep us moving and engaged attributed to a seamless and positive experience for all.

-Carol Gagnon, Executive Committee, ESPA

Lauren's infectious humor, profound insights, and inspiring presence made a lasting impression on me during her speech, 'The Funny Thing About Perseverance.'

Her natural talent as a corporate entertainer was evident from the moment she began, effortlessly connecting with the audience on a personal level. Beyond the laughs, her message about navigating challenges with resilience struck a chord with everyone in attendance.

Lauren's genuine warmth and remarkable skill set make her an invaluable asset to any event.
