Keynote Topics:
HOW TO BE A BETTER LEADER IN ANY SEASON
(Leadership Development/Change Management)
You’re busy. You are already feeling overloaded. You’d like to build greater capacity in yourself and members of your team, but where would you find the time?
In short, you want to take your leadership to the next level, but the question is “How?” You need a fresh and practical blueprint. Jones Loflin says that new approach is built on four words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest.
In this innovative and engaging presentation built on the timeless practices of a gardener, Jones equips leaders to identify where change is needed in their daily activities and take productive action.
It’s time to get “growing” and harvest something better for your people and your organization.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT TOO MUCH TO DO!
(Time Management/Work Life Balance/Productivity)
Let’s be honest. Your proverbial plate is already running over with all you have to do. Even worse, your mind is racing with fresh ideas for improvement and growth.
If only there was a solution to this dilemma that didn’t involve cloning yourself. Our speaker today says the answer is to run off and join the circus… at least mentally.
Using the model of a successful circus, this highly engaging presentation will equip you to better manage your time and energy to explore new opportunities and achieve better results.
From being a stronger ringmaster to building a quality “3 ring” lineup, expect to leave this session with a myriad of practical tips to manage your distractions and more fully focus on the present moment.
Most importantly, you’ll be ready to run your circus instead of letting the circus run YOU!
GETTING TO IT!
(Time Management/Work Life Balance/Productivity)
Is the tsunami of “something else” flooding your schedule every day, washing away any hope of you accomplishing what’s really important? Do you find that even when you are trying to focus your mind is racing with countless other thoughts?
Is your lack of attention to your highest priorities limiting your professional success, your personal wellness, and even the quality of your relationships? Sounds like it’s to time to learn how to get to IT… your most Important Things!
In this insightful and highly interactive presentation, participants will learn a powerful way to make sure that what they SAY is important each day actually gets DONE!
Key takeaways include:
- Using a consistent process to identify your daily and weekly ITs
- Building IT routines into your day instead of hoping you get to IT
- How to reduce time spent on the “something elses” in your day
- How to communicate IT to others so they see value in helping you accomplish IT
- Finding more common ground with others when your ITs don’t match
- Understanding the importance of celebrating the small ITs while you are on your way to accomplishing the big ITs
NOW WE GO HOME…SO WHAT?
(Motivation/Productivity)
You have packed the bottles of shampoo and lotion from your room, taken one last gaze out your hotel window, and started thinking about how far behind you are at work.
But have you “packed” the right strategies to achieve better results when you return home? How will you take all you have gained at this event and implement these ideas into an already overloaded schedule?
Jones Loflin says the answer lies in 5 simple words: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.
*This keynote can also be modified to fit for the opening session of a conference or event. The suggested title then becomes We Are Here… Now What?

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.
Additional tips and takeaways
- 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.
