KEYNOTE SPEAKER LEIGHANN LORD | "Funny, insightful, brilliant!"

With a beautiful blend of grace, charm, humor, and intellect Leighann Lord has become one of the hottest public speakers working today. Her careers as an actress (Radioland Murders), stand-up comedian (HBO, Comedy Central, AspireTV), radio and TV co-host (StarTalk with Neil de Grasse Tyson), and author (Dict Jokes and Real Women Do it Standing Up) have made her an intuitive and engaging speaker who leaves her audiences enlightened and entertained.

National Society of Newspaper Columnists Conference

"I guess you've heard all the conference buzz from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. I had to proclaim and praise Leighann Lord who kicked off our conference with a powerpoint on language, so perfect for writers. She is funny, insightful, and did the most powerful opener for our conference. She also performed at the comedy club at the Manchester Radisson on Saturday night. Leighann Lord, we met at Erma and you are a gift who keeps on giving!!!" - S. Standring
"By now, you probably know that everyone in NSNC are huge fans of Leighann Lord. You not only surprised us with a funny, smart, and educational (covfefe, defined) speech, you stuck around to spend extra time with us - which NSNC members love! L. Smith |

Oxford Scholars at Emory University

Leighann Lord's talk to the Oxford Scholars was entertaining, engaging, and hilarious. Perfectly tailored to the audience, a select group of academically high-achieving students at Oxford College of Emory University, Ms. Lord brought a much-needed message of hope in regards to the uncertain future. Comically and at times poignantly, Leighann Lord shared with us the importance of keeping an open mind after and during education. She urged us to pay attention to what work makes us happy, and pointed out how much of her success was due to chance and taking risks. The response to her talk was overwhelmingly positive, with scholars and faculty members alike expressing how funny and thoughtful they found the event to be. I will not hesitate to bring Ms. Leighann Lord back to campus for another event, should the occasion arise.
