Keynote Topics:

Clarity
Don’t do what you are, do what you love… Ashley will help your audience discover their purpose at work, and their most aligned career path. This means focusing more on one’s natural skillset and less on one’s passions or interests. She’ll show you how.

Resilience
Rock Bottom is a sacred place, and your pain can become a trampoline into your next level… if you let it. Ashley is here to show you how you can harness your failures and challenges at work as a tool to get your next level, whether you’re bouncing back from a layoff, making a career pivot or wanting to improve your performance.

Mindset & Fulfillment
Clients have come to Ashley from around the world to get “un-stuck” in their careers, but Ashley argues that they’re not really stuck; it’s just their thinking that is. Join Ashley to discover her top mind shifts you need to implement to get unstuck and create a career that really lights you up. It’s time to get out of what you “should” be doing so that you can start enjoying the journey now.

Charisma + Influence
What’s really going on when someone “owns the room”? Is this a natural gift, or a learned ability? Join Ashley to learn her fascination formula, where she’ll show you what it takes to truly fascinate and leave a lasting impression, whether you’re in a job interview or client presentation.

Leadership + Management
Some leaders think their team works for them, but if you’re a true leader, you must realize that it’s the other way around: you are here to work for your team. Ashley will help you learn how to create more collaboration, inspiration and results from your team. This means discovering her top 10 motivators at work, and stepping into more connection with the people who work for you.

Generational Differences In The Workplace
Gen X ( born 1965- 1980) values hard work and climbing the corporate ladder, Gen Y (born 1980-2000) values smart ideas and impact, and Gen Z (born 2000 onwards) values technology disruption and one on one connection… While it’s hard to generalize human beings, it’s fair to say each generation in the workplace is marked by different focuses and priorities… So how do we all get along? How do we retain employees? How do we stay engaged at work? Join Ashley to find out.

Talent FAQ's

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.

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.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
