  Emcee + Keynote Element Sizzle/Recap

  Motorola Solutions asked me to emcee a recent event with their channel partners. The client wanted energy, engagement, and fun during the two general sessions. In each session, I used one improvisation exercise from my keynote, and sprinkled in some other interactive elements and a short message. As Motorola's emcee, I also introduced speakers and took care of the brief announcements. Each emcee job is unique. Some are more traditional with announcements, introductions, facilitating panels, interviewing speakers, and more. And some I have the opportunity to utilize my improvisation exercises and messages.
