Speaking
Keynote Speaker Host / Emcee Comic
Some people would rather die than do it. But for me, there’s nothing more fun. And I’ve done it all—from breakouts to keynotes, intimate workshops to large-scale conferences, emceeing events to moderating panels.
Let’s talk
Let’s talk
Whether you need a keynote or a breakout, a host or panel moderator, I’ve got knack for keeping the conversation fresh, relevant, and engaging (and putting both audience and other speakers at ease). It would be an honor and pleasure to talk to you about your next event, whether it’s in person or virtual.
Named one of the 18 top female motivational speakers
“Terri Trespicio delivers! I have invited Terri to speak at almost every event I have been involved in because I can always count on her to wow the audience with compelling, entertaining and actionable content. She is uncannily versatile and can tailor her talks to almost any group. Her style is relaxed and spontaneous. Her presentations have that magical combination of being both motivational and actionable. Plus, she’s hysterical!”
Ilise Benun | Programming Partner for HOW Design Live, author and national speaker
“Terri was the top ranked speaker of our Top Independent Women Advisors Summit based on our attendee survey response data. Her presentation was interesting, provocative, and highly actionable. Her interaction with the attendees, both on stage and prior to her keynote was terrific as well.”
Sterling Shea | Global Head of Wealth and Asset Management, Dow Jones
“Terri Trespicio is a born leader. She is an incredible facilitator. I’m in awe of her ability to pick up on what a group needs, take the reins, and deliver it. I’ve watched her work, and she carries herself with incredible integrity and commitment to those she is instructing and leading. She cares and she delivers, every single time.”
Mary Gauthier | Grammy-nominated singer songwriter

Need a Host, Emcee, Moderator?
I can do that.
From TEDx events to leadership summits to comedy shows to panels lined with very nervous contributors, I know my way around a hosting role.
You can hand a mic and a few index cards to anyone with half a personality and call it a day. But a next-level host does more than simply introduce who’s next; she helps connect all the show elements and give the event a coherent look, feel, and vibe. The goal of a host isn’t to make themselves look good; it’s to make YOU look good.
Plus, as a professional speaker trainer, I can also help your speakers and panelists feel prepared to shine on stage, even if it’s the last place they want to be.
Want more information or to schedule a call? Let’s do it! I’d love to talk more.
