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.

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.
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.
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 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.
