LaShaundra McCarty

LaShaundra McCarty is an incredible presenter. She is highly skilled and professionally trained in several areas that include marketing and technology. She recently trained on digital marketing to a group of nearly 30 small business owners during an SBDC Marketing Bootcamp in Biloxi, MS. The discussion involved three hours of marketing goals, social media, technology and etc. LaShaundra is very professional and a very skilled business counselor who serves many clients. She is also an amazing presenter and is always ready to serve. I look forward to LaShaundra’s next informative training in the very near future.

LaShaundra is not only charismatic and energetic but she is also a subject matter expert for all things communications related! I have learned so much from attending her seminars over the years and attending events and meetings with her!

I had the pleasure of attending a Digital Marketing Bootcamp led by LaShaundra, the Center Director at the Mississippi Small Business Development Center, and it was an incredible experience! Her focus on strategy for social media, websites, and overall marketing was not only insightful but also incredibly engaging. LaShaundra brought a wealth of knowledge to the table, breaking down complex concepts into fun and relevant information that everyone could understand. Her dynamic presentation style kept us all captivated, and I left the session feeling inspired and equipped with practical strategies to implement right away. If you ever get a chance to hear LaShaundra speak, don’t miss it! She truly elevates the learning experience and makes marketing feel accessible for everyone. Thank you, LaShaundra, for an outstanding session!

We had the privilege to have LaShaundra speak at our NSA Central Florida Speaker's Academy Implementation Lab. She was brilliant with her ideas and strategies to help our academy students navigate how to create content calendars with such finesse. I highly recommend LaShaundra McCarty for all of your digital marketing needs.

Great Speaker! Great Energy! Very Relatable!

LaShaundra possesses outstanding communication skills whether written or verbal. However, she particularly excels at public speaking and is masterful at engaging her audience with equal parts topical and anecdotal information all mixed in with confidence, compassion and humor. In fact, her presentation on knowing one’s worth was so impactful that I have her 4 key points taped to my computer monitor. I wholeheartedly recommend LaShaundra for any public speaking engagement.

LaShaundra has a great energy and is very engaging speaker! She gave us practical tools to improve our social media presence and use content calendars. I don’t feel overwhelmed or scared like I did before her presentation. I feel like I can take some actionable steps from her presentation this week. Thank you LaShaundra!

I was a part of a scheduled hour long zoom call with Ms. McCarty as the guest speaker. An hour and a half later I was still there drinking in all the valuable content regarding social media. Aside from her energy and captivating smile, she is a fountain of information on the subject!

LaShaundra is a package of positivity. She is a pro's pro professional speaker and also a social media guru. LaShaundra also takes the time to give back via speaking to aspiring speakers. I met her while attending the National Speakers Association Speakers Academy. If you have the opportunity to hire her, be sure to loosen up your fingers, you will want to be ready to take copious notes to capture the gems of wisdom in her talk.

I really enjoyed LaShaundra's presentation! She was extremely helpful in sharing her strategies and tips for creating an effective social media presence that aligns with my business as a speaker. She engaged the audience very well and gave us all some great tips we could take immediate action on! Thank you LaShaundra for inspiring us with your knowledge!

LaShaundra spoke at our employee volunteer group annual meeting. She is an excellent speaker and set the tone for our two-day meeting. She helped initiate our teams thought process to get us focused on preparing for the upcoming year. She was awesome and we would highly recommend her to you and your organization.

LaShaundra is an excellent speaker and coach, and an excellent thought leader that will prove to be a great resource to any company or professional.

LaShaundra presented excellent content during a U.S. Small Business Administration webinar. LaShaundra discussed the Do's and Don't of Social Media, teaching attendees/small business owners how to act and react on Social Media. I look forward to further conversations with LaShaundra and welcoming her back to an SBA broadcast.

LaShaundra is a welcoming and inclusive speaker. Not only did I learn a lot from her, I watched as she made sure every participant had the opportunity to contribute. She made me and all others feel welcome. Speaking to her one-on-one later, I felt the same connection and engagement. It is obvious she is passionate about her work and that she gives much to her clients.

I attended an online event presented by LaShaundra McCarty about creating multiple business income streams. The presentation was informative and insightful. I appreciated learning new ways to monetize my speech therapy business and the ease of understanding the information and answers to follow up questions. LaShaundra maintained the topic well and provided exactly what was advertised with real and concise advice and information. I look forward to using some of the streams discussed and attending more of her events!

I have known LaShaundra McCarty for the past few years while she has worked as the Public Information Officer for the City of Gulfport. I have been consistently impressed by both LaShaundra’s attitude toward her work and her performance on the job. Her interpersonal and communication skills have allowed her to develop productive working relationships with both our citizens and our employees. Her work on the Employee Newsletter and City Website was outstanding. She has been an asset to the City with her knowledge and ability to work with tight deadlines. She is highly respected by her peers, and has proven to be well organized and possesses great leadership qualities.

Inspiring change and action! That is what a dynamic speaker invokes inside of you when they speak. LaShaundra brings knowledge, experience and passion that ignites a fire that makes you get up and take action. From a faith journey to improving your skills, LaShaundra tailors her presentations to her audience to ensure they receive the full experience. She is even quick on her feet to ensure the audience stays engaged and never misses a beat!

I've worked with LaShaundra in both professional and volunteer/civic capacities, and am always impressed by her positive attitude, commitment to finding solutions, attention to detail, and follow-through. She has a knack for building relationships and can then leverage that network for the success of projects.

LaShaundra McCarty is one of the most dynamic, motivational people I know! I met LaShaundra 7 years ago while volunteering for a youth career exploration experience event, P2P. From day one, I have found LaShaundra to be a passionate professional, who is dedicated to assisting students and adults be the best version of themselves. I work for Gulfport School District and LaShaundra has spoken to our students and teachers on multiple occasions. Her presentations are engaging, motivating, and high energy. Our students and teachers have always commented on how much they have learned and how helpful they have found the information. Her topics have ranged from Marketing Yourself, to Social Media Do's and Dont's, to Finding Your Future Career and Passion. If your group or organization is looking for a speaker, I highly recommend LaShaundra. She is a captivating speaker who is knowledgeable in Communications, Marketing, Branding, and Social Media. In addition, she has a unique way of tying in an uplifting, interesting, and motivating message.

LaShaundra spoke with the organization (Junior Auxillary) I am apart of about social media etiquette. Her personality allowed her to connect with all of our members so easily while also getting the main points across. She had multiple points I wished I had been told/taught about since I basically grew up with my life on social media. While I can’t fully change what I posted on the internet between the ages of 15 and 27… I can do a little “clean up” to continue with a professional appearance. She was a pleasure to listen to during our education hour and I think (and anyone interested) could take many pointers from her on this topic.

I was fortunate to hear LaShaundra speak this week at our monthly Junior Auxililary meeting. She spoke about professionalism and social media and the importance of keeping it “clean.”

LaShaundra took time out of her extremely busy schedule to speak with a nonprofit that I am apart of regarding professionalism and social media etiquette. It was a great and informative presentation and I highly recommend her to speak to any organization or work place regarding this topic!

LaShaundra McCarty was our guest speaker yesterday at our Lighthouse Business and Professional Women's Organization where she spoke on how to market yourself. She reminded us all that the one person that has to believe in you the most is yourself and that it starts with you, you have to believe in yourself in order to emit that positive self image and confidence and that Yes, You are Fabulous. Her presentation was full of so much valuable content, she spoke to the audience and all of our attendees were truly engaged with her high energy presentation. LaShaundra is a true professional, a dynamic and transformational speaker I highly recommend LaShaundra to speak to any group seeking a true engagement speaker with relevant content, high energy and very insightful in her message on how to market yourself.

I have had the pleasure of hearing LaShaundra speak a couple of times. She is a skilled speaker who is knowledgeable and passionate about marketing and branding. She captures the attention of her audience and holds their attention until she is done.

LaShaundra McCarty is a dynamic and transformative speaker! Through her presentation, the audience is taken on a visual and participatory journey. Her audience is engaged and is not a room full of passive listeners. At the end of her talks, the audience wants more! I highly recommend LaShaundra to speak for any group seeking energy, empowerment, and insight.

LaShaundra McCarty is true professional and a pleasure to work with. Her communication skills are exceptional and she is a wizard when it comes to the tech world. She brings a lot of energy to any project that I have worked with her on, and always comes up with workable solutions to problems instead of just identifying them which seems to be a skill in short supply. She knows how to work with national and local media, does website development, and is skilled in navigating social media. Great person, hard worker, and has lots of skills- that sounds like someone anyone would want to work with to me.

Lashaundra is a great, dynamic speaker. She came to speak to a group I'm part of about Social Media and how to use it to expand your audience. Everyone enjoyed her talk, she arrived on time and fully prepared. I was very impressed with her professionalism and energy. I would not hesitate to ask her to speak at another function in the future.

Lashaundra McCarty is highly effective and energetic media consultant. She evidences an eye and an ear to the ground on technology, social media and current trends in all areas. I have known Lashaundra professionally for seven years. Many of the practices she implemented in our communications ministry remain in place to date. I am appreciative of her ability to assess and offer streamlined as well as customized solutions for effective strategic media use and promotion. Recently, I participated in her Social Media seminar during a conference where she presented thorough contextually relevant options for employing social media for our contexts and for our clients. Her enthusiasm was infectious and her and knowledge was impeccable. I enthusiastically offer this recommendation on behalf of Rev. Lashaundra McCarty.

Lashaundra has done training for Disciples Women in social media, software use, and building a social media plan. Her presentation is relaxed and easy to follow and she is open to interruptions and questions. While our staff are at varying degrees of expertise, she has helped each of them understand and utilize the training. She is also helping us to understand which forms of media are most useful for the variety of needs we have. She has a wide knowledge of social media and its most efficient use. Lashaundra has also done amazing work designing our Disciples Women's magazine and Bible study. Her work is sharp and appealing. Her ability to make both our print and online resource inviting and comfortable is a gift. With her as part of the team we recently have been awarded a DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Award for our magazine. Her work has brought the look of the publication to a new level.

Lashaundra is a professional and resourceful consultant and an excellent and knowledgeable trainer. I've hired Lashaundra for multiple consulting and training projects with the National Benevolent Association. Lashaundra's ability to engage participants, no matter the skill level, is one of the highlights of working with her. Oh, and her humor and warmth are added bonuses!

Lashaundra has a strong passion in working with others and helping them blossom into their full potential. You're in good hands if you’re looking to grow personally and professionally.
