Stacy Pederson,
Keynote Motivational Speaker & MC
It took almost dying to teach Stacy how to truly live.
Through Stacy’s story and her authentic, engaging style, your audience can improve their quality of life by learning how to:
- Stress Less
- Be Happier
- Move Forward From Failure
- Deal with Change
- Live a Life People Would Die For
Why Does a Talk on Happiness, Stress or Grit Matter?
-Eat too much. Slept too little. Cried a lot over the last 2 years?
-Is your industry or company dealing with change?
-Do you have engagement issues?
-High turn over rates?
-Are your leaders equipped to deal with all of the above?
Happy employees have fewer sick days, are more productive, and have lower turn-over rates.

Virtual Presentation: Only a successful speaker can navigate timing and engage/keep an audience’s attention in a virtual setting without audience feedback. Our team hosted Stacy Pederson to present at a virtual team meeting in November 2020; and by the flurry of messages, laughter and stories that continuously streamed in the chat box the entire 45 minutes, there is no doubt she was a huge success! Stacy was dependable, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process…a true professional who I hope to have the pleasure of working with again!

I HIGHLY recommend Stacy Pederson, a marvelous comedian. Not only does Stacy provide super fun entertainment with her always witty and often side-splitting humor, she prepares her talk by listening to the different presentations during your event and makes “respectful” fun of things she heard in a way that reinforces learning. The perfect performer to maximize the emotional and educational impact of your event, Stacy will win all hearts, even though she has a soft spot for women and fellow mom-preneurs. Book her today. Stacy’s schedule is sure to fill up!

“Can I just say that the one event I attended where Stacy Pederson was the key note speaker was AMAZING! She was hilariously funny and poignantly real and deeply touching! I have literally been thinking about the things she spoke about for an entire year!! If you are thinking about hiring her- quit thinking and just do it! You will not regret it! (And by the way, she probably has zero idea of who I am, what event I attended or why the heck I am even writing this. Basically, I am just a person who was blessed by her words and her authenticity. I am not paid or even asked to write a single word of this.- She is just that good!) ….Trisha Winslow
