The Qualities Of A Business Professional Keynote Speaker

By Amy Wilson


If you are looking for a keynote speaker for your company's next event or conference, then you must be able to find the most qualified individual that can be able to set the tone of your event. Your event can be a seminar regarding how to handle stress in the workplace or perhaps a team building activity, which a right keynote speaker can be an important factor. Remember having the right Professional Keynote Speaker for your event can be the make or break factor of the occasion.

To begin with, he/she ought to have a common bond. Perhaps the speaker has had a previous work experience in the corporate world, or has served on a board of major non-profit. Perhaps he has started businesses and sold them, and has immense entrepreneurial tips to share.

A Professional Polished Routine. A seasoned keynote speaker will have a polished routine that they can bring to the event. Their jokes will be funny and on time and they know how to keep an audience, s attention. You will be able to go over the content of your staged events that you have planned and they will be able to work your content in their tried and proven routine.

An inspirational side. The professional needs to rally the troops, so to speak, and give them something to believe in. This gives a team something to connect with, to strive for, and to better them in. Perhaps the individual has faced an adverse situation and learned greatly from it - someone in the company may have faced a similar situation and immediately connects. All it takes is one powerful statement to make an effect.

Most of these professionals have prepared a DVD or a video recording of their work as part of their promotional materials. You can watch this video so that you can make an evaluation with regards to their speaking skills or on how they handle an event similar to yours.

Your budget needs to be laid out in advance when you hire the service. Be clear about what you can afford. Let them know right away what your budget is and see if it falls under their fees. You don't want to think you have the right person and find out that you cannot afford them.

Maintain control of the situation - Many people who offer this speaking service have a star mentality, and believe that you are there to serve them. Remember, you are the one pushing their performance, and therefore you are the one helping to further their careers just as they are helping to sponsor your event. It's a two way street, but the difference in power is that you can always hire someone else. Be firm and up front about what is expected, and don't let them make changes or alterations at the last minute unless necessary.

It's a Time for Your Star to Shine. Remember that in the end you benefit from your companies event being a success. This means that it is in your best interest that you procure the most qualified talent possible. An expert speaker is crucial to a successful event and those that tell you otherwise are the same folks that are going to be talking behind your back if the event that you oversee is anything less than successful.
