Speech Topics
A seasoned interviewer and moderator, Randi Kaye brings experience, humor, and poise to the stage – skillfully drawing out the panel members to keep the discussion interesting and lively. Randi’s energy will help make the most of important panel gatherings and notable guests. Her skills as a CNN anchor are sure to keep any panel or debate on point and full of surprises.
Like so many people, Randi Kaye is scared to death of death. For that reason, she is hoping to create a national dialogue about death and dying. Why, in America, are we afraid to discuss this topic? This issue is very close to Randi’s heart, having watched her own mother die of lung cancer. Randi and her mother made painful choices together such as choosing not to try an unproven chemotherapy pill that was going to cost $4000/month. For CNN, Randi also profiled a woman who spent nearly $700,000 trying to keep her husband alive in the last year of his life. As Randi will tell audiences, that woman would do it all again if she had the chance. In this presentation, Randi serves as a catalyst to help people learn to become more comfortable discussing end of life issues. By creating awareness, Randi hopes we can begin to tackle this issue before it cripples Medicare and our healthcare system as a whole. On average, ninety percent of a person’s healthcare expenditure occurs in the last year of their life.
Tennis star Venus Williams did it. So did Houston Texans Running Back Arian Foster and Ultra-distance endurance athlete Rich Roll. Through trial and error, they discovered how to perform at their highest level. Randi will outline the importance of making the right nutritional and fitness choices. She will provide a road-map that will enable the audience to perform better and feel better.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a world-class athlete, a Fortune 500 executive, or a mid-level manager, the choices you make about what goes in your body and what we do with our bodies has a tremendous impact on how our human machine performs. Sound body=sound mind=higher productivity=happiness. Randi’s case studies will excite and inspire your group to be all they can be.
Randi Kaye believes the essence of success is Passion. She fell in love with journalism at age 13 and pursued it with reckless abandon. For the past 30 years, she has channeled all of her energy into that endeavor and it has proven to be a recipe for success and happiness.
Through both thoughtful and humorous anecdotes, she will help the audience discover how to put passion into their work and their lives.
