Keynote Topics

The top issue on the minds of C-Suite Execs? Attraction and retention of top talent. The problem? Workplace incivility.

Harvard Business Review found that 99% of workers reported that they experienced incivility in the workplace!

USE CIVILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE YOUR CULTURE

In the state of constant disruption in which many organizations find themselves, the new Smart Machine Age and era of AI, organizations are being challenged to redefine the roles of their leaders

Every company has a culture. It may be expressed in the feelings, tones, moods, and attitudes of your people.

Or in the assumptions, values, traditions, artifacts, and ethical understandings/ practices of the organization.

After 8 years, Janine Hamner decided to leave and open her own business – taking all that she had learned as well as all that she was seeing about both the challenges that organizations were having integrating Millennials into their organizations and the pressure that same group was exerting on organizations to change.

We’re now in a perfect storm. With the constant cycle of disruption, the Millennial generation being the largest in the workforce, the new Smart Machine Age and era of AI, organizations are being challenged to redefine the roles of their leaders and understand the connection between organizational culture and profitability, staff retention, innovation and sustainability. More than ever, organizations are looking at what creates healthy organizations.

Along the way, I got interested in brain science and, just like what’s happening around culture and leadership, this is a great time to be interested in neuroscience. We’re learning so much about why we do what we do…and how to interrupt the biological pattern and create a deliberate choice.

Janine Hamner

Inevitably, something about our brains always makes it into my keynote talks! And – unless it’s what you want – I make sure to not geek out about it too much! Just enough to illuminate something and, often, help people see that what’s happening isn’t great…and it’s just how we’re wired.

In that moment, it makes it both normative so we can get out of shame and blame, and makes it possible to change.

Ok. Enough about Janine Hamner. What’s happening with you and how can I be of service?

Company culture does so much to attract top talent, retain great employees and ensure people operations are always performing at its best. I’m very motivational when speaking about these issues.

If you’re looking inspire, ignite and empower your organization and its people, I hope you’ll consider doing it with me.

Real world experience, academics, and science-based strategies

With more than 10 years studying brain science, degrees from Cornell, MHS and NYU, and more than 30 years as an executive and consultant, Janine Hamner insights on leadership and culture are rooted in deep experience and understanding. She has developed a science backed path to behavior change.

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.
