Keynote Topics:

While the Hispanic population is a growing force in the United States, and well represented in the consumer and labor force, we are disproportionately underrepresented in top leadership.

We are the second largest racial and ethnic group in America, second to White non-Hispanics, and yet we occupy only 4% of the top leadership positions in Fortune 500 organizations. How can we empower Hispanic leaders to take ownership of their success trajectory?

In Mari Carmen’s research, she has found that what matters is not just achieving that one peak of high performance (also known as climbing your current S-curve).

Instead, she explores the equal importance of the moves you must make on the way to your next level of success; in other words, continually striving to jump to your future S-curve.

Mari Carmen reveals vital insights by including :

  • What do the biggest and brightest miss and why traditional long-term business planning won’t help you find the insights that are fundamental to high performance.
  • Why you must add new players to your team before the performance starts to wane. When things are good. (This miss is very evident in the political realm.)
  • How to emulate the modus operandi of businesses that succeed with one reinvention after another, through both good times and bad.
  • The gift of diversity of thought in leadership roles for companies as a whole.

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.
