For the love of God

No more boring panels and jargony keynotes.

(Please and thank you.)

Wealth management is inherently exciting work. Financial advisors and wealthtech builders are changing families for the better. Those families are transforming their communities, and that is changing the world.

Y'all, there is nothing boring about that.

So why are our industry panels and keynotes so dry and soulless? That isn't the way I do things. I bring joy, humor, and an engaging sense of story to my topics. Audiences love me and often ask for me back, and event planners love me even more (I've been in that role before so I'm pretty easy to work with).

Have a look at one of my speaking videos below. If you like what you see, let's talk about the topic that's of most interest to your audience.

Mary Kate is the kind of speaker every event organizer hopes for: dynamic, insightful, and possesses the unique ability to tailor every word for maximum impact. I've had the privilege of booking her for multiple sessions on social proof, brand messaging, and marketing, and each one was packed both with actionable strategies, and a standing-room-only crowd.

Mary Kate was a standout on our panel. She brought clarity, substance, and just the right amount of humor to the conversation. Her insights were sharp, her delivery was natural, and the audience was fully engaged the entire time. She’s the kind of speaker who makes a panel feel more like a conversation -- and a smart one at that.
