Keynote Speaker

If you are putting on an event, you may look to hire motivational speaker or a keynote speaker for the event. There are many motivational speakers and keynote speakers for hire. Selecting the one that is right for your event is not always as easy as picking the first person you come across. There is some research that you need to do before you invest in a specific motivational speaker and before you sign a contract. If you are looking to hire a motivational speaker, here are a few of the things you need to ensure you do before signing a contract.

​

Prior to signing a contract with a keynote speaker, take the time to watch some of their past speeches. While the topics that they discuss may have evolved and changed over time, their general charisma, appeal and personality likely has not changed over time. Some people are amazing speakers. They just have a way about them that captivates an audience, seems genuine and makes them seem well-liked and real. You want to ensure the speaker you are hiring has these qualities.

​

Another important thing to consider as you look at keynote speakers for hire is what the speakers agenda is and how it aligns with your business views or the views of your event. You do not want to hire a speaker who might controversial based on the type of event you are putting on, or who may have different views than the ones most commonly held by the type of event that you are hosting. You want to appeal to those attending the event and send out a message that they want to hear and receive. Researching a keynote speaker and what their platform and agenda is can help to ensure you are all on the same page.

​

Lastly, take the time to talk to other event coordinators who may have hire motivational speaker in the past. You want to ensure that the motivational speaker arrived on time, was easy to work with and that there were not any issues. You want to work with a speaker who is professional, courteous, is respectful of your time and those attending your event's time, and who gives a good speech. Talking to someone who may have hired them in the past allows you to ensure that they have the professionalism you are looking to work with.
