Hello Everyone -- my name is Sheri (like the Stevie Wonder song--- not the Steve Perry song) if that gets confusing.. You may call me what most of my friends call me, "Ree" 🗺️ Where do you live? Charlotte, NC (but my goal is to be a nomad and a "Citizen of the World" 💰 What is your day job? 25+ Years as a Broadcaster (in 2024 the station that I had worked with and won ratings and awards for since 2014 was sold off in the Audacy Bankruptcy case.. no worry I also worked for a start up Hyper local News service which lost its funding three months later 🤦‍♀️) -- I took a job with an airline as a flight attendant because my love of travel. Not by a long shot, a dream job. -- Now I am the co-founder of a group of three (soon to be four) online radio stations. I also freelance as a voiceover artist, designer, and creative consultant for DJs, podcasters, and content creators. I help them with show prep, serve as a coach to bring their shows/content to life, and ensure they are appealing to their audience and not just chasing trends. 🔥 What are you absolutely passionate about? Bringing art and creativity into the world and helping people reach that lightbulb moment! ⚡️ What currently feels not as easy or smooth as you want it to be? Getting people to say yes to the offer and not feel like I should offer my services for free. Also, I have done work for friends who have strung me along and had outstanding invoices with me for a long time. There are times I feel people take my niceness as a weakness. 🗝️ If you could wish for any ability, what would it be? To teleport... That whole Beam me up, Scottie thing --- is still cool in my book! 🫣 What’s something most people don’t know about you? I am also an actor (most of my close friends and family are aware of this, obviously). I've done everything from commercials, Stage, TV, & Film. I stopped telling people that I just met this -- because they think I am exaggerating about the broadcasting, acting, and freelancing.... Then act all weird once they look me up and find something I have done. ( and NO! It's not THAT kind of acting-- which they also think it's okay to make suggestions along those lines.)

If you see us talking about "show prep" in here it's what we broadcasters do to get ready for our shows to make it look effortless... however, it's a skill we have adapted over time and through MANY... MANY errors... Show prep isn't just for broadcasters... it for anytime you jump on a video call, do a presentation, teach a class, or simply do a social media post. Even with the best intentions, years of expertise, and psyching yourself out, there will be speed bumps along the way. You want to connect with your audience, but sometimes in a training class, live chat, it is like you have suddenly switched lives with your 7th-grade English teacher, who was asking for volunteers to read the prologue to the Canterbury Tales... and you hear Old English Crickets and have to think fast on your feet. BTW, did you know there isn't a clear "Old English" word for cricket--- but the English word cricket comes from Middle English criket/creket (see that's thinking fast on your feet) Here are a few engagement tidbits I've pulled from my recent Show Prep... 🚀 Buzz Starter Question - “If you could trade lives with one celebrity for 24 hours only, who are you picking and what’s the first thing you’re doing?” 🧠 FUN FACTS OF THE DAY - “Your office chair travels about 7 miles a year.” - “Koalas sleep 22 hours a day — they’re basically teenagers with claws.” 🗣️ 3. RELATABLE TOPIC STARTERS Quick audience-engagement prompts. - “What’s a food you pretend to like because your family does?” - “What’s one workplace rule that makes absolutely zero sense?” - “What’s your most harmless form of rebellion at work?” Always be armed with topics, ready to redirect, and never be afraid to laugh at yourself
