In this energetic keynote segment, Melissa Boggs challenges audiences to move beyond fear and hesitation by embracing courageous action and rewriting their internal scripts to unlock possibility and impact.
Melissa Boggs invites viewers into a compelling narrative about breaking out of safe, familiar patterns and choosing bold, audacious action. She blends storytelling with movement—literally incorporating roller skating as a metaphor for momentum—to illustrate how people often stay “in place” because they are following someone else’s script.
She reframes common workplace and personal challenges as opportunities, calling audiences to ask themselves where they’ve been cautious and what bold moves they need to make. Boggs emphasizes that meaningful progress does not require a complete redesign of life or strategy but begins with one small, courageous step.
Her message combines insight with action:
Recognize the internal constraints holding you back.
Rewrite your own script instead of following one handed to you.
Take strategic steps that build confidence and forward motion.
Bold action comes from curiosity, trust in oneself, and readiness to move—not just think.
The video visually reinforces her perspective that movement itself—symbolized through skating—is a powerful metaphor for shifting mindset and creating momentum.

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.
