What to Check Before You Hire A Motivational Speaker

Worried about choosing a speaker?  I don’t blame you.  It’s a big deal and there are things you need to check before you hire a motivational speaker.

Here are three easy things to check before your hiring a motivational speaker. A speaker you KNOW can deliver.

  1.  Ask your perspective business speaker to talk to recent (and I mean very recent) clients.  For extra credit ask them to talk to clients having a similar meeting for a similar audience.  If your speaker can’t come up with anything recent, ask them why not.
  2. Search the ‘net for a body of work.  Sure, you want to see the latest video.  But knowing that your speaker has been working, improving, fine-tuning, and changing their approach for years and years and years should give you comfort.  Don’t worry if the video from 10 years ago is horrible. Be happy that your speaker has been at it for at least 10 years.  (And of course, make sure you like the most recent video.)
  3. Check for referrals from the audiences of your speaker.  You want your speaker to make you, the meeting planner happy.  But you also want your speaker to offer value to your audience.

Call us now and we’ll happily answer all three questions.

And, since you asked (ok, maybe that was just in my head) here are some recent notes our recent client St. Elmo Steakhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana just sent.  We’re proud of ’em.

Call us now and we’ll get you all the information you need.


Testimonials are great to check before you hire a motivational speaker.

“Our event with Brad was a huge success! Brad was very warm and easy to talk to. He was interested in really getting to know us and you could tell by the dinner conversation. The staff were so complimentary and I can’t tell you how many shared that it was so much better than they thought it would be. Brad was so engaging with the staff and he was able to get them to relax, learn about happiness and have a great time doing it. His presentation was very funny and kept the crowd listening and they had take-away’s for sure. We receive updates from the managers at closings of each night and they had so many compliments from the staff’s change in attitude after they heard Brad speak. Some of them are listed below. I also have attached the notes from his message and a facebook post from one of our staff after the event. The great thing is the message of happiness was heard and they intend to use at work and home. I would highly recommend Brad to any of your clients.” – Jennifer A
