Expert on getting your message heard: Clarify, Connect and Profit
Kate Delaney is a dynamic speaker, award-winning journalist, and renowned sports commentator who shows individuals, leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations how to break through barriers and get their message heard.
An Emmy Award-winning journalist, Kate’s journey to becoming America’s Number One Female Sports Commentator was not without its challenges. After being rejected 500 times for a chance to report on sports, Kate persevered and went on to interview over 12,000 people, developing a reputation for her exceptional listening skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
In an era where attention spans are short, Kate empowers top executives with two critical skills: how to truly listen and how to get heard. Her signature keynote, "Influential Listening," combines insights from her broadcasting career, where she reaches three million listeners daily, with research from top Fortune 500 companies.

In addition to her speaking career, Kate has an impressive track record in broadcasting and business. As Chief Operating Officer for the Golden Broadcasters Network (2005-2010), she negotiated multi-million dollar deals with clients, stations, and talent. She also worked with the Texas Rangers, closing a $25 million radio rights deal with CBS as Executive Sports Director.
