Awesome experience! Courtney is very positive and provided some key tips. Highly recommend.
Courtney was exactly what we needed for our event!
She was professional but so fun and entertaining at the same time. She kept the crowd going the entire event!
Response from Courtney P:
Thank you so much! I had so much fun!
Ms. Courtney was exactly what our organization needed - a true, honest look at ourselves and how we may be giving off the wrong vibes. I loved her down to earth nature and her knowledge of her subject. She was relatable and real. AWESOME SAUCE!
Courtney P was phenomenal! The training was educational and very informative. I learned how to improve my communication skills. She was so engaging from start to finish. Her style, her methods and techniques, her visual aides and games, and her overall personality completely matched our audience. I simply can’t say enough about how great she was and how much I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation. I can’t wait to see her again!
After this workshop, I realized that I can;t expect everyone to move like me or think like me. We have to understand that we are not the same. Our communication is different. We can respectfully meet people where they are and function together as a team
Awesome time!

Courtney P was one of the speakers at the Leadership Workshop at our church. She was very engaging and motivating. Our leaders are still talking about it. I highly recommend her for any event.
Courtney was a dream to work with - from the initial call to the event! Her 1-hour set was just what we needed to fill the day and our conference attendees loved every minute of it. She not only captured their attention but got them up and moving and interacting with each other. I feel like my group left not only motivated but energized for the rest of the day. I would recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a local, down-to-earth speaker. She made sure to connect with each and every person in the room, including me. We look forward to working with her again in the future!
So honored to have Courtney P host and emcee PurpleStride Louisiana. Nothing but rave reviews about her on the mic. She’s extremely engaging with the crowd and keeps everyone having fun. Very articulate and passionate. Thank you for an amazing job done!
Courtney P is definitely the hostess with the mostest. She is very welcoming and makes interviewing with her very comfortable. The questions she asked to the panel were perfect allowing the panel to provide much needed information to all attendees.
Courtney did a phenomenal job at my wedding as she introduced the wedding party and help facilitate the program of the event. Her energy, enthusiasm, and positivity set her a part from other individuals. She’s extremely professional while being personable and exciting. We appreciate her assistance in our ceremony and would recommend her for future functions. We can’t thank her enough for everything she provided. Thank you!!!!
I've known Courtney P Mpagi and have listened to her on WBOK. I saw her Emcee in action during Nola Black Wall Street Black Wealth Weekend with her gift. Nothing but great things from her as I knew it would be. The entire mood of the event rested on her shoulders to manage the guest speaker's being comfortable, audience participation and assisting event coordinator to manage the time, Kudos to Courtney P Mpagi . We look forward to Nola Black Wall Street Black Wealth Weekend in 2023 and Courtney P Mpagi being part of the festivities as Emcee.

Very professional and extremely motivational. Our leaders are still talking about the message she delivered. I highly recommend The One Take Wonder.

Not only was Courtney charming and relatable, but PROFESSIONAL. She was funny (appropriately) and handled the crowd flawlessly. She even jumped in to help breakdown!
Price Range: $200-$500/hr
I offer a high energy message. I like my audiences engaged and in tuned. I feel laughter is good for the soul and have a quick wit, always appropriate, that makes my time with people seem to fly by. I've been a Corporate Trainer so I can use any medium available for the right technological touch. I have a "come from behind the podium" approach. I want my audience to know I am fully invested in delivering my message and making sure they receive it.

Courtney has lived in Savannah, Ohio, Atlanta, and Chicago having had her own TV show in the Atlanta and Chicago markets. She was also a model on The Sepia Fashion Revue where she got to see every corner of America and got to witness how beautiful it is.

Standard and/or provided lights and sound are sufficient. I have done a bit of theater, so even if there is a technical failure, I can project as the "show must go on."
