“Amazing. Interactive. Fun.’’

Unlock the secrets to real engagement for your participants. 
Imagine your participants enthusiastically sharing their ideas. Imagine their delight as they connect the dots to the big idea. Imagine an opening speaker who helps you create a delightful community culture that lasts throughout your event and beyond. Are you imagining this with me? Yes! Yay!

It is time for Elevating Engagement–the Unkeynote!

Well, sure, it’s a keynote, but it’s also fun, wicked interactive, packed with ideas, and a playful sense of adventure. 

Hello, Hello! I’m Amanda Lea Kaiser, and I love seeing attendees’ eyes light up when they think about engagement in a whole new way.

I totally geek out when participants pour their great ideas onto the screen. I’m thrilled each time I hear the audience gasp when I share a big idea. 

“Amanda is an interactive idea generator!”

‘‘We hired Amanda for the opening keynote of our Annual Leadership Forum, and her presentation, Elevating Engagement, was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never heard engagement talked about in that way. Not only did she fill in the missing piece in the engagement puzzle, but Amanda gave us safe language to move forward. She made attendees feel comfortable and created an open, fun atmosphere where people enjoyed participating. Everyone I talked to, from our board members to the staff leadership, was exceptionally impressed.’’

Director of Member & Volunteer Services, ADCES

“Relevant and scalable ideas.”

How often do attendees return to the office and stash their notes on the to-do pile without ever taking action? In 60 minutes, we’ll go on a journey from big idea strategy to concept application, so every attendee leaves with one priority they selected to try tomorrow and dozens more ideas at their fingertips.

“We even love her out-of-office messages.”

What do bland, short, out-of-office messages have to do with presentations? Well–I’m your friendly resident scientist experimenting with engagement constantly. Who pays attention to OOO emails? I do! And people tell me they look forward to them. In addition to delivering a super engaging program about engagement, I want to help you engage your attendees in the whole event. From pre-event marketing to post-event bonus content, I’ve got your back!

‘‘I’ve been participating in a 3-day digital conference, and this morning’s keynote by Amanda Lea Kaiser was sensational! I am looking forward to implementing her tips and tricks to help engage our members.’’
