    Keynote Topics:

    Based on the best-selling book, The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Companies Win on Talent.

    From his time serving as an Army Officer to his 20+ years in Talent, hiring over 80,000 high-performers as a Managing Partner at EF Overwatch and The Talent War Group, George has distilled finding elite talent down to a science. In his best-selling book, Talent Wars, he teams up with former US Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille to explain how you can recruit and grow the best talent like a Special Ops team.

    This new, potential-based method of hiring throws skill-seeking out the window and focuses on:

    • Predictive attributes to look for in a candidate
    • Who should be interviewing your candidate: A-players will find other A-players
    • How to structure an interview to bring out telling signs in a candidate
    • …and much more. Let George rewire the way you hire and help you build an elite team that can stand up to any challenge. 

    As a leader, how do you prepare for the unforeseen? It’s impossible to find solutions or map out financial plans for problems no one can predict. However, there is a way to be certain your team can withstand unexpected crises. 

    With over 20 years of experience hiring more than 80,000 elite applicants, as well as serving as a Managing Partner at EF Overwatch and The Talent War Group, George knows how to create resilient teams. In his talk, Geroge guides leaders to their full potential by showing them how to build a team based on character and invest in human capital as heavily as they invest in financial capital. Leaders are only as strong as their team, and George will help you become a great leader to an elite team. 

    Every high-performing team is made up of elite individuals. Each person you bring onto your team becomes a building block for the success of the company. So, how can you be sure each member of your team is a high performer? 

    George has spent over 20 years working in the Talent industry and studying unparalleled talent as a Managing Partner at EF Overwatch and The Talent War Group and knows exactly what distinguishes these types of candidates. Drive, resiliency, and integrity are all predictors for success. 

    To not only compete but win the never-ending war for talent in the corporate world you must change your mindset and evolve your strategy. From his time serving as a US Army Officer to his 20+ years in Talent, hiring over 80,000 high-performers, George knows how to assess, select, and develop world-class talent. 

    Building a company strategy that focuses on PEOPLE as your biggest competitive advantage and adopting a talent mindset are your greatest weapons in winning the war for elite talent. Let George explain how to transform your HR strategy to reach the top of your industry.

    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.
