Sandy Sloane is an outstanding events and learning & development professional who uses interactivity and humor - combined with vital information - to ensure students are educated, engaged, and empowered. She’s produced over 500 events, trade shows, meetings, trainings and team-building programs (including virtually during the COVID pandemic) for companies and organizations including Walt Disney World, Burger King, Xfinity, Comcast Business, Macy’s New York, Intuit/QuickBooks, Mass General Brigham, Takis, Sinclair Broadcasting, Hotwire Communications, Red Apple Media, Paychex, United States Tennis Association, Luminate NY, Dutch Lions/United States Soccer League, Jenoptik Optical Systems, numerous radio and television stations, and non-profits including the National Women’s Hall of Fame, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Denver Children’s Hospital, and others.

As a trainer and coach, Sandy is passionate about teaching leaders how to help their teams grow and thrive by providing positive work environments. “I remember working for bosses who didn’t provide growth opportunities, making me feel disengaged and discouraged. I truly felt my hard work didn't matter. After seeing the untapped potential of other unmotivated co-workers, I had my AHA moment and found my calling. Today I help businesses foster the talents of their teams through employee engagement programs, interactive learning & development seminars and workshops, team-building programs, and special events designed to unleash the limitless possibilities within their most important resource: the human capital of their employees.”

Creating opportunities for engagement is truly her “superpower”. Using secret weapons including hands-on techniques (humor, role-playing, quizzes, illustrative media, storytelling, and games with prizes), she helps teams grasp even the most mundane material through interactive team building and events. (Research has conclusively shown that humor systematically activates the brain's dopamine reward system, essential for both goal-oriented motivation and long-term memory.)

The information Sandy shares in her workshops and one on one or group coaching is equally effective for seasoned professionals as it is for younger employees. Sandy’s Master’s Degree in Organizational Development and Strategic Leadership is one more capability that sets her apart from other employee engagement professionals. Her outstanding aptitude to sense what an audience needs and then to provide it engagingly, is a rare talent. She is as comfortable deploying an organization’s existing information as she is when creating custom programs. Sandy offers over 30 workshops and seminars in interpersonal skills, professional development, customer service, team development, workforce training, sales training, special events, and public relations which she has presented to companies and organizations throughout the country.

Sandy’s event prowess includes conceiving and producing successful events such as Fall Premiere Parties for broadcast clients and programmers, lifestyle concerts and festivals for 50,000+ attendees, the National Women’s Hall of Fame Induction weekend featuring women of high achievement including Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Jane Fonda, Diane von Furstenburg, Gloria Allred, Angela Davis, et al., finals award events for the world’s largest Optics and Photonics accelerator, radiothons and telethons collectively raising over $5 million, professional sports team weekends at Walt Disney World, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and hundreds of others. An industry agnostic, Sandy has conceived and produced events for 10-50,000 guests across all industries in the corporate, professional sports, small business, and philanthropic worlds, creating custom solutions for every client.
