MORNING KEYNOTE

Stevie Ray

Executive Director, Stevie Ray’s Improv Company

Sure, you can introduce yourself to business prospects through social media, but most business is still won-or lost-by good old face-to-face interaction. No one is born to network, it takes practice. In this exciting, hands-on experience, Stevie Ray will show you the techniques to capture someone’s attention, as well as the most common pitfalls to avoid. Heads-up: don’t expect to sit in your seat during this session!

Stevie is the longest running national columnist for the Business Journal Newspapers and is the author of eleven books, including The Roadmap to Influence. He is a guest lecturer for the University of Minnesota and the University of St. Thomas MBA program. A professional comedian, Stevie is the Executive Director of Stevie Ray’s Improv Company in Minneapolis, a company that has provided training and entertainment since 1989. Stevie is the first person in the country to have designed his own college degree to study the psychology of humor. Learn more: https://www.eaglestalent.com/stevie-ray/
