Read the Moment. Make the Call. Change the Game.
Every decision has an expiration date.
Today’s leaders aren’t rewarded for solving yesterday’s problems. The very best leaders read the moment for what it is, not what they hoped it would be, then make their move before they become predictable.
During more than three decades working for ESPN, three-time Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Anne Marie Anderson was in the locker rooms and boardrooms of the most successful teams and organizations in sports. Along the way, she noticed a pattern. The leaders and teams who consistently outperform everyone else aren’t necessarily the most talented.
They’re the most agile.
Drawing on more than three decades of front row access to the world’s highest pressure moments, including more than forty interviews with Kobe Bryant and conversations with Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, and other elite performers at the height of their careers, AMA explains the decision making patterns that separate leaders who react from those who consistently outperform under pressure.
It isn’t the first decision. It’s what they do the moment that decision stops working.
Markets shift. Priorities change. The strategy that won the room in Q1 stalls out by Q3. The leaders who separate themselves aren’t the ones who commit hardest to the original plan. They’re the ones who can release it the instant the moment demands something different, without losing credibility, momentum, or their team’s trust.
Through her signature framework, The Agility Drill®, Anne Marie gives leaders and teams a practical, repeatable approach for reading a room, responding with precision, and releasing what no longer works, so they can re-enter the moment sharper than before. Rather than another leadership theory, it’s a system they can apply immediately, in the boardroom, on the retreat stage, and in the decisions that shape a quarter, a culture, or a career.
Because yesterday’s playbook won’t solve today’s challenges. Agility will.

The Sales Advantage Nobody Trains For.
Every sales pitch has an expiration date.
Today’s top producers aren’t rewarded for running the perfect script. The very best ones read the buyer for who they are in that moment, not who they were on the last call, then adjust before the deal goes cold.

Drawing on more than three decades of front row access to the world’s highest pressure moments, including more than forty interviews with Kobe Bryant and conversations with Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, and other elite performers at the height of their careers, AMA explains the decision making patterns that separate sellers who freeze up when a deal shifts from those who close it anyway.
It isn’t the first pitch. It’s what a seller does the moment that pitch stops landing.
Buyers change their minds. Budgets move. The objection that closed easily in Q1 stalls the whole deal by Q3. The sellers who separate themselves aren’t the ones who push hardest on the original pitch. They’re the ones who can read the shift, adjust in real time, and close anyway, without losing trust or the relationship.
Through her signature framework, The Agility Drill®, Anne Marie gives sales teams a practical, repeatable approach for reading a buyer, responding with precision, and releasing a pitch that no longer fits, so they can re-enter the conversation sharper than before. Agility isn’t a trait some reps are born with and others aren’t. It’s a system, and it can be built by design, not left to instinct.
Because yesterday’s pitch won’t close today’s deal. Agility will.

Redefining Power, Possibility, and the Permission to Shine.
What would change if you stopped apologizing for your ambition? If instead of dimming your light, you turned it all the way up and invited others to do the same?
In Unapologetically Audacious, Emmy Award winning broadcaster and Audacity Expert Anne Marie Anderson, author of the multi award winning book Cultivating Audacity, invites women to dismantle doubt and reimagine what’s possible when confidence and courage meet intention.
Drawing from her journey through the male dominated world of sports broadcasting, where she chose to hear “no” as “not yet,” Anne Marie delivers an unforgettable, laughter filled experience that celebrates risk taking, resilience, and self advocacy.
Anne Marie reminds audiences that audacity is not defiance; it is the fuel that transforms barriers into breakthroughs. Audacity gets you in the room. Agility is what keeps you there: the ability to read what a moment actually requires, adjust without losing yourself, and keep moving even after the “no.” Through stories that are equal parts hilarious and hard won, she shows how to:
This keynote is a rallying cry for people who are done asking, “Am I ready?” and ready to say, “Watch me.” It’s inspiring. It’s electric. And it’s the shift that turns hesitation into history.
