Building an Audacious Mindset

Imagine if the word “no” filled you with excitement and possibility.  If “no” meant “not yet” and “next”.  In Building an Audacious Mindset Anne Marie Anderson challenges audiences to forget everything they learned about what should happen and create a professional life built on what could happen if we didn’t accept NO.  In this rousing, engaging and laughter filled keynote supported by stories of her own experiences climbing the sports broadcasting ladder, Anderson equips the listener with three keys to building a truly audacious mindset that detonates the presumption of what’s possible.   

“Anne Marie is engaging and charismatic. She immersed herself in our conference to help customize her presentation. Her message was inspiring, captivating and energized our attendees to take on any task.”

VIRTUAL BROADCASTING WORKSHOP

Ever watch sports on television and think “I want to do that?”  You can! In this detailed virtual workshop, I share the secrets from my thirty-four years in broadcasting to help you cut the line and learn in three sessions what takes others years to discover.  I open the vault and teach you exactly how to prepare for a game, the questions to ask of coaches and even when you should –and shouldn’t– talk during a broadcast. Each student receives multi-sport templates to build their game boards that I created and still use today.   I developed this workshop after years of people asking, “How did you get to do THAT for a living?”

Learning Objectives

  1. Learn the top 2 mistakes a game analyst most often makes and how to avoid them.
  2. Discover the four must haves as you prepare your game board for any sport.
  3. Take away three actionable items to do RIGHT NOW to get your foot in the door.

When I retired from professional basketball and wanted to be a television analyst, I was so nervous! Anne Marie Anderson gave me specific guidelines as to how to prepare so I felt confident going in with a professional game board. She taught me how to stop myself mid-game from being repetitive and entertain and inform the viewer. I don’t know where I would be without Anne Marie’s guidance, but I wouldn’t be on TV!
