As a sought after leadership keynote speaker, my mission is straightforward: to engage my audience so they connect with my leadership training message. I give them leadership tools they can use tomorrow on the job – plus your team gets a copy of my leadership book, SCRAMBLED, 10 Year Edition!
How do I accomplish this objective during my keynote speech?
Simple! I accomplish my objective by using incomparable “fighter pilot” stories (most of which are true), my inimitable humor, and my interactive leadership training and leadership seminars.
Trust me, I have sat through many scripted, boring mundane, rent-a-crowd, mandatory fun presentations and I promise to give you more in my keynote speech and leadership training.
Here’s the thing, after doing keynote speeches for some of the biggest and smallest companies in country, I have found the key to bringing my clients real value is to provide the kind of leadership training that produces results immediately. My core message revolves around my leadership book, SCRAMBLED, 10 Year Edition, and is universally applicable to life, business and combat.
Did your last keynote speaker make that claim?!
By appealing to your team members’ intellect and touching their souls with my compelling anecdotes, hands-on practical leadership training and by doing so, I promise you the keynote speech I customize for your people will resonate.
You should hire me to talk to your team because:
- I have a compelling leadership message to tell, and I tell it in my own unique innovative way
- I give your team deliverables they can use on the job tomorrow
- They get a copy of my leadership book, SCRAMBLED, 10 Year Edition
So where do you begin your keynote speaker search?
Sometimes hiring a top keynote speaker for your specific leadership training can be overwhelming. Start by clarifying your leadership training objective. Ask yourself:
- What is the focus of the event?
- What message(s) must we convey to our people?
- What are the specific training objectives, if any, or what “experience” do we want for our team?
Having done keynote speeches for all kinds of different organizations, I have learned that the best experiences come when the speaker can customize a unique and innovative message to support your specific objectives. This ensures your leadership training, event, or experience has a cohesive, clear message, rather than a series of random talking points. The result, you get the desired return on investment for not only the money spent on your keynote speaker, but also on the time and talent your people have devoted to making the event a success!
Now that you have a vector, ask yourself, “Who is the right keynote speaker for the job?” When you begin your search, realize there are basically 3 ways to find your person:
- You can hire an extraordinary person who has done something amazing;
- You can hire a subject matter expert;
- You can hire a coach, mentor, or teacher with a proven resume
Each person brings something unique to the table and their talent should support your objective.
[Shameless sales pitch] As a top leadership keynote speaker, I bring all three of these to your event by making my leadership book, SCRAMBLED, 10 Year Edition, come to life.
By far the best way to choose the right person to support your leadership training objective through an amazing keynote speech is to ask around and watch the potential keynote speaker in action.
