When you are in charge of planning a corporate event like a workshop or conference, you may want to hire someone to come in and speak to attendees. You want to inspire and motivate people in attendance to leave the event and do their best for the corporation or group for which they volunteer or work.
You may be unsure, however, of how to locate effective talent to speak to your team. You can search for several key qualities when searching for and hiring a leadership keynote speaker for your event.
Proven Success
When you look for a speaker for your event, you want to be sure they are actually successful at what they do. You probably do not want to hire someone who is new to the field or doesn’t have a lot of successful previous clients, as they have not acquired the experience or knowledge to be effective as a seasoned speaker.
By vetting the talent for their own success, you can be sure your money is well spent and they will be inspiring to the people in attendance. You won’t be wasting not only money but the valuable time of your team.
Entertainment and Engagement
You should also ensure the talent is entertaining and engaging before hiring them. Boredom is the death blow of any presentation. Nobody wants to listen to a speaker that has irrelevant or outdated stories. You want to hire a speaker who is fun to listen to and watch, someone that engages the crowd and has the ability to hold their attention for an extended period of time.
