I’m Anne Marie Anderson, a three-time Emmy Award–winning broadcaster, keynote speaker, and author. My work centers on cultivating audacity—the courage to say yes when doubt says no—as a catalyst for leadership, career advancement, and thriving workplace culture.

For more than three decades, I’ve had a front-row seat to the world’s biggest stages in sports broadcasting: six Olympic Games, heavyweight title fights, golf’s majors, the NBA and MLB playoffs, and the Super Bowl. I’ve called more than 1,500 live events for ESPN, ABC, NBC, FOX, and TBS, becoming one of the most experienced female play-by-play announcers in the country. Along the way, I’ve learned powerful lessons behind the scenes from some of the most successful coaches and executives in sports—lessons about leadership, resilience, and building winning teams.

As a keynote speaker, I combine humor, heart, and storytelling to connect with audiences. My signature keynote, The Audacity Advantage, challenges leaders and teams to rethink the rules, dismantle doubt, and take bold risks that spark innovation and success. My goal isn’t just to inspire but to equip people with practical tools they can put to work the very next day—in leadership, in advocacy, and in culture-building.
