Keynote Topics

“The best present you can give anyone is your presence. In a time where the world “social distancing” has become popular, can we also make the word “support” popular? No one flourishes in an environment where they are tolerated, they flourish in environments where they are celebrated.”

INCREASING DIVERSITY

Hayley has worked with C-suite executives, where she is the only ethnic minority in the room. As well as sometimes being the only black speaker in a conference. Diversity is not just about hiring more diverse talent, but having a greater understanding behind culture and what could make your working environment more fitting for diverse talent?

Hayley has insight of over 100,000 young people across the world. Her insight helps provide a deeper understanding between those who may sit in C-suite level and those who are coming into the workforce.

Many Gen-Zs and Millennials have decided within the first 3 months of working in your company as to whether they’re going to stay for another year or so.

The best way to keep retention high is not investing into their career, but investing into them. Hayley helps leaders and CEO’s have greater understanding on what is trending and what could help graduates and incoming young employees stay in their firms.

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.
