logistics manager | synergist
Hometown: Phoenix, Arizona
Born and raised in the “Valley of the Sun,” Kaylee’s academic journey led her to the University of Arizona (bear down!), where she earned her degree in Communication and Sociology. She worked for the university as a Special Events Director during her undergrad, igniting her passion for the world of events.
Kaylee’s expertise lies in curating one-of-a-kind experiences, drawing upon her background in experiential marketing, trade shows, and conferences. Fun fact: Kaylee is no stranger to public speaking as she assumed the dual role of traveling Emcee and Event Coordinator in a previous position. Problem solving, creativity, and collaboration are the pillars of her professional approach.
As a Phoenix, AZ native, Kaylee makes the most of the weather by spending as much time as she can outside, whether it’s soaking up the sun by the pool in the summer or snowboarding in northern Arizona in the winter. When she’s not immersed in the outdoors, you might find her engrossed in a new book or enjoying a game of pickleball!
Six Useful Pre-Session Event Activities
If you are facilitating a meeting or a corporate event, it is always good to begin with some sort of pre-session activity. You may think these are unnecessary and waste time, but an interactive and constructive pre-session activity sets the stage for a successful and productive meeting.
Are Your PowerPoint Slides for the Audience or Are They a Facilitator Crutch
When you hear the word “PowerPoint,” what comes to your mind? Many would say their thoughts include boring corporate events, long-winded presentations, and possible snoring. PowerPoint slide decks can be illustrative, dynamic visual aids, but they are more commonly designed in a way that prompts audiences to nap rather than engage.
Banish Clip Art!
While clip art may have once served a useful purpose for you or your organization, there are now a plethora of ways to avoid it and find higher quality alternatives instead. We promise, your quest to banish clip art will be easier than you think, and, ultimately, by using better images and illustrations in your presentations and documents, you’ll produce more impactful work.
