"Gee, you've got potential!" or “It’s Zing! time!” can be heard coming from any of Nancy Hunter Denney’s audiences as they get swept away by her contagious energy and interactive approach on stage. Being all of five feet and an inch tall (or short) Nancy Hunter Denney is a speaker on the move, never standing behind a podium for fear of disappearing or looking like a talking nose.

No stranger keynoting state, regional or national conferences, Nancy Hunter Denney leaves audiences on their feet by sharing personal stories, pointing out life's challenges and providing practical ways of acting for change. From new student orientation keynotes to college commencements, from national health care professional development conferences to audiences of thousands of women, her messages have both motivation and meaning.

NEW!

As a dedicated educator, Nancy continually updates, adds and creates new programs in an effort to be responsive to changing trends and programming needs in higher education, as well as, on a more general basis.

This inspiring keynote challenges audience members to ask the simple question "WHY NOT NOW?" The goal is to instill a sense of urgency in striving for competency and excellence. The last question that gets asked is "WHY NOT ME?" A perfect keynote for leadership conferences.

More and more PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE yet struggle with how to get along with one another and how to communicate interpersonally - as well as, on a more CIVIL basis. One of the MOST POPULAR NEW KEYNOTES covers CIVILITY ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS.

Receiving GREAT REVIEWS is ZING! YOUR LIFE AND LEADERSHIP based upon Nancy Hunter Denney's third book Zing! Your Life and Leadership: 21 Insights on Maximizing Your Influence. This inspirational keynote defines leadership as "influence" and offers a practical formula with strategies for overriding competing forces to positively influence others towards a GREATER SOCIAL GOOD. It's a wonderful conference keynote.

PARENT PROGRAMS are on the rise as universities respond to parent and guardian needs to feel more in the loop and connected to the ORIENTATION PROCESS. In her updated keynote, A Time of Holding ON and a Time of Letting GROW, Nancy Hunter Denney discusses the value of PARTNERING towards "common goals but taking different roles" and articulates specific strategies for parenting an "emerging adult." Her humor, sensitivity to parent emotions and needs, while understanding the role of higher education makes this keynote an ESSENTIAL COMPONENT of NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION and FAMILY WEEKENDS.

All of Nancy's keynote programs leave lasting impressions and can be reinforced through creative promotional products.
