How To Book a Speaker

Day 4 Of Your Requested Course

4 Easy Tips for Choosing the Right Keynote Speaker

If you want your speaker to really connect with your

audience, then you want to make sure your speaker

is referring specifically to your groups needs,

stresses, success and fears.

Not only do tailored programs make your speaker more

relevant. But it makes your speaker more funny.

Big time more funny.

It’s one thing for your speaker to say something like,

“Your stresses can be difficult.” It is a whole other

hear something like, “Your Oversight Form 12-B can

really hurt!”

Your keynote speaker should take the time to know

group.

I’m most flattered when I work for

How To Book a Motivational Speaker

Day 3 Of Your Requested Course

Get the Most “Bang for your Buck.”

1. Make sure your keynote speaker knows what you expect.

Speakers can do what they think is a great job

– but if they are delivering what they thought you

wanted… and not what you actually wanted –

nobody wins. Never be shy about laying out very specific

objectives for your speaker. Let them know how you

will quantify a successful event.

2. Make sure the room is set up right. If you are

hiring a pro keynote speaker who can deliver every time — and

you should — the only variable left is how well the

audience can see and

Day 2 Of Your Requested Course

3 MORE Tips Choosing the Right Motivational Speaker

1. Consider the audio visual component of booking your

speaker. Your speaker should have a clear understanding

of what types of equipment he or she will need.

Ask potential motivational speakers

for it! Look for extravagant or wildly expensive

requests. (It may be well worth it, but it makes sense

to know what you’re getting yourself into.) It is

totally worth the investment of top quality AV equipment

to assure the success of your speaker investment. But at the same time, Brad has spoken from the back of a farm truck. Everything is possible…just

How To Book a Motivational Speaker

Day 1 Of Your Requested Course

4 Easy Tips for Choosing the Right Keynote Speaker

1. Book a speaker with a proven track record. Your

speaker should have a LONG list of happy clients. Ask

your prospective speaker to provide a list of RECENT

referrals.

One way to assure that you’ve got a real pro is to

book a CSP. Certified Speaking Professionals

are the meeting planners mark of excellence… and

booking a CSP can be like money in the bank.

Learn why you should care about CSPs here:

a speaker (and it should be!), make sure your

speaker is ACTUALLY funny

Six Easy Sure-Fire Techniques For Adding Humor to Your Life — This Week!

1. Listen to funny stuff. Buy some CDs of comedians and pop them in your car on the way to work. I love to listen to the CDs several times. The first couple of times I just laugh. And then the next couple of times I try to understand why the jokes are funny; why they make me laugh. By studying the form of the jokes, I internalize some

How To Be A Professional Speaker

A while back I was at the National Speakers Association with Dr. Brad Nieder…known to his many audiences as The Healthy Humorist. Brad is a good friend, and an amazingly talented and funny professional speaker.  I took the opportunity — and took out my phone — to record his top tips for how to be a professional speaker.

I love what he says about putting in the time and having patience.  (And in his case, having patients.)   Thanks for sharing the advice, Brad!

Thanks Fun Seekers!

Yup, what I’m showing you is taboo. A well kept secret. Never revealed. Never. Well…maybe this once…

As a Foster Dad….

My wife and I were foster parents to two wonderful (and troubled) little girls. Sisters. They are no longer with us — they are back in the “system.” It was an unbelievably tough time for all of us, and for our family.

Magician Speaker | What is it and Why should you care?

Magician Speaker

A magician speaker is nothing more than a professional speaker — in this case a motivational speaker — who does magic. Magician + Motivational Speaker = Brad Montgomery

Why Might You Want a Magician Speaker?

Why not? Jokes aside, no matter what type of motivational speaker you book for your meeting, there HAS to be an element or framework of entertainment to hang the message on. You can provide the most profound message in the world, but if the audience is snoozing’, you’ve wasted your investment.

Brad relies up his extensive background as an award-winning magician as a tool to bring the audience in; to bring them to the edge of their seats; to make them (Continue Reading…)
