Where do you need a Motivational Speaker?
FAQ about hiring a Motivational Speaker
On average, professional speakers cost $600-$900. This price may vary depending on your location, the type of event, the speaker’s area of expertise, and their experience level. If you want to hire a keynote speaker for your event as an expert in their field, they might charge more than if they’re one of many corporate speakers at a conference or trade show.
As soon as your event date and venue are set, you should begin your search for a speaker and any other entertainment or services you need. While it’s not impossible to land a speaker 60 days or so ahead of an event, some are booked out solid for months and years at a time. To give yourself enough time, aim to secure your speaker 8–10 months before the date in question.
The expertise of the speaker you hire can vary depending on the event you’re planning and the audience you’re hosting. Some motivational speakers may come from academic backgrounds; others from successful careers in social media or comedy. No matter their field, expect motivational speakers to draw upon uplifting stories and their own experiences.
When choosing a motivational speaker, consider the message you want to convey to your audience. Browse the speaker’s online profiles and websites to get a better idea of where their expertise lies and read reviews from past clients to get a feel for how they might fit with your event.
Motivational speakers can inspire and engage an audience, sparking important conversations and leaving lasting impressions. Whether you’re looking to create positive change within your business conference or bring people closer together through the power of humor, a motivational speaker can mark the beginning of a new journey for you and your guests.
There are many types of events where a motivational speaker could play a role. They can motivate employees at a company meeting, inspire graduates with a commencement speech, or even engage college students at a campus event.
