Talent Short Bio
Dr Brian Glibkowski is a leading authority on business communication and the pioneering mind behind Answer Intelligence (AQ), the first validated framework that elevates the role of answers in leadership, strategy and organizational performance. While questions have traditionally dominated conversations about inquiry and problem-solving, Dr Glibkowski recognized a critical gap: most professionals have never been taught how to answer with precision, relevance and impact. His research uncovered that answers can be classified into six distinct types—story, metaphor, theory, concept, procedure and action—each essential to effective communication and persuasion.
Grounded in his Ph.D. in Management and extensive academic research, Dr Glibkowski’s insights have transformed how leaders communicate expectations, how sales teams influence buying decisions and how organizations navigate complexity. His AQ methodology is used by executives, educators, consultants and coaches worldwide who seek to improve clarity, alignment and conversational effectiveness.
As a keynote speaker and consultant, Dr Glibkowski is known for reframing communication in a way that is both scientifically rigorous and immediately actionable.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
