Keynote Topics
HEALTHY LEADERSHIP
This session will help you, your team, and your business thrive. Healthy leadership addresses human needs—it’s personal.
Healthy leadership is like a cultural magnet that attracts people to your team and the cultural glue that makes them want to stay.
If your employees don’t see healthy leadership, they will look for it elsewhere.
THE POWER OF POSITIVE COACHING
Since most organizations don’t have the resources for everyone to have a coach, it is up to you, the leader, to be equipped to coach and inspire your team.
You must get your mind right before you can get your team right, so it starts with a positive coaching mindset. Increasing your awareness of your thoughts, your purpose, your values, and your emotions creates a positive coaching mindset.
Then you apply the five positive coaching habits. They reflect simple truths based on common human needs, so a leader can inspire winning results and relationships in any setting.
STICK WITH IT
Challenges for today’s leaders are always changing, but the formula for winning remains the same.
The key to winning the game is focusing on “how” more than “what”. A good plan gets you into the race, but adhering to your plan propels you into the winner’s circle!

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.
