7 STEPS TO ACHIEVING TRUE SUCCESS

RORY ONLY ACCEPTS 30 INVITATIONS TO SPEAK EACH YEAR.

Every business or enterprise needs to have their people performing at the highest possible level. Yet, a recent study of 10,000 people reported the average employee wastes 2.09 hours each day at work on non-related job tasks.

The Average salaried employee in the US makes $39,795 per year which translates to costing a company approximately $10,396 per year per employee! PROCRASTINATION, as it turns out, is one of the most expensive, yet invisible costs to both individuals and companies worldwide.

Is it possible that this imperceptible problem is taking money out of your pocket, preventing your company from growing, or holding you back from promotion?

Strategist and business speaker Rory Vaden shares key insights and erases common misconceptions about how to overcome procrastination, creative avoidance, distraction, priority dilution, fatigue and other common day success saboteurs by building lasting self-discipline.

The stress and anxiety about all there is to do and the lack of time we have to do it can be a grinding frustration. There is a silent yet pervasive epidemic that stifles innovation, and consistently burns out our top human capital costing organizations millions of dollars in wasted time. This insidious dynamic that costs organizations millions of dollars each year is called Priority Dilution™.

Based on the insights researched and presented in New York Times bestselling author Rory Vaden Tedx talk with over 3 million views, you will get insider knowledge from him and his firm Brand Builders Group.

This program will challenge everything you know to be true about “time-management” as you will learn:

  • There is no such thing as “time-management” there is only “self-management.”
  • Why productivity in the next generation is much more about emotion than logic
  • How to move beyond urgency and importance to significance
  • Why “priorities” are a limiting paradigm relating to your time
  • If you are a “Gunslinger” or a “Worry Wart” and why rich people never pay their taxes early
  • When is the right time for patience and when is the right time for action
  • 5 permissions you need to finally be free of the pressures of productivity while getting maximum results

This Rory Vaden session will help you reduce your stress, increase your focus and most of all teach you how to MULTIPLY YOUR TIME with 3-dimensional thinking!  

[Note: This talk is available as a customized version applied directly to the following topics or themes: leadership, innovation, teamwork, performance improvement, time management, productivity or work life balance]

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.
