Meet Randye
Live and In Person
Speaker / Event Host / MC
We're in an official Epidemic of Loneliness (just ask the U.S. Surgeon General). The remedy? True Human Connection - or, even better, go a step further and Engage for Maximum Impact. We may need inspiration and practice to do that - and that’s my passion.
My roots are deep in the world of theatre and improv - where we’re reminded every day that we literally can't do our work without other people - to participate onstage, behind the scenes, and in the audience.
In other areas of work, that need may be less obvious but it still exists, despite the illusion of connection created by social media and the growing field of AI (Artificial Intelligence).
Also, as the mother of a son with a serious mental illness, I've learned that the thread to being happier in the face of life’s challenges runs through connection to others - and in the self-talk that results.
Connect, Create, Communicate: My mission is to help rehumanize our increasingly isolated world, through shared experiences, insights, and humor.
With years of experience as a morning radio personality and actress, Randye also knows how to think on her feet and help your event go smoothly and happily as live host, MC, or announcer. She also provides acclaimed motivational keynotes, leads fun and interactive workshops (self-esteem, happiness, communication, presentation skills, media awareness), and is a really fun and productive live auctioneer.
On the more serious side, Randye speaks frequently to groups of doctors, nurses, medical students, families, providers, and legislators regarding the family experience when mental illness hits. She is a published author, Family-to-Family teacher/trainer for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and former diversity trainer with the Anti-Defamation League.
Randye uses her vast experience in radio, improvisational acting, voiceover and theatre to teach and inspire in educational and corporate environments.
