New Speaker Suze Yalof Schwartz

The Speaker Agency is pleased to announce the addition of author, entrepreneur, and world renowned meditation expert Suze Yalof Schwartz to our roster of distinguished keynote speakers. Topics such as entrepreneurism, meditation and women leaders in business are an increasingly common request among Speaker Agency clientele, making this very timely and exciting addition.

Suze is the Founder and CEO of Unplug Meditation, the world’s first drop-in secular meditation studio. She is the creator of the Unplug: Meditation App and the author of Unplug: A Simple Guide To Meditation for Busy Skeptics and Modern Soul Seekers. In 2012, Suze learned a three-minute meditation that changed her life forever. Prior to this, she was a fashion editor and “makeover guru” working at Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and Glamour Magazine with regular appearances on GMA, The Today Show, CBS Early Show, and more. Once she discovered meditation, she was determined to keep doing it but could not find a place to easily learn and practice. After taking hundreds of hours of classes, reading every book possible, and listening to podcasts and lectures from the world’s most famous meditation teachers, Suze realized that meditation needed a makeover and she was the one to do it. Suze’s mission is to make meditation simple, accessible, powerful and interesting enough so that everyone will want to practice it and experience the benefits for themselves.

Google has reported a 140% increase in downloads for it Hangouts app.

“As we enter into a new wave of the pandemic, with the US and Europe at the center of rising cases, lockdown and home quarantine measures increase in efforts to flatten the curve. As a result, Europeans and Americans turn to video conferencing apps for work collaboration and keeping in touch with family and friends.” AppAnnie

Meeting the Challenge of the New
Objections? “There’s nothing like live,” you say? Perhaps. But we are all being forced into new paradigms in order to survive and thrive in business.  The medium is the message, Dr. McLuhan told us. Your audience must accept the format before they can accept the content. Today, the uninitiated are receiving a crash course in tele-everything, and the virtual keynotes of The Speaker Agency can help you capitalize on this trend.

Kate is known as the Tech Humanist, which also happens to be the title of her latest book.

It is a philosophy honed over the course of two decades on the front lines of leading-edge tech.

Tech Pioneer
The Speaker Agency seeks only the most relevant and experienced keynote speakers, and Ms. O’Neill certainly qualifies. Kate was one of the first 100 employees at Netflix, where she developed now-standard content management and e-commerce practices. Later she founded [meta]marketer, a pioneering analytics and digital strategy agency; drove experience optimization at Magazines.com; and developed Toshiba America‘s first intranet.
