Notes on speaking

This blog is written by the team at Jaikrit Speakers Bureau for two groups of readers: the people who plan events, and the people who speak at them. Since 2008 we have helped HR and learning teams, conference producers, college festival committees and founders choose speakers for every kind of stage, and the blog shares what we have learned along the way.

For organisers, the articles look at what a motivational speaker can actually change for a team, what separates a good speaker from a forgettable one, and how to match a speaker to your audience and theme. They are written to help you brief a speaker well and to know what to expect on the day.

For speakers, the blog covers how to become a motivational speaker, the qualities organisers look for when they build a shortlist, and the habits that help a talk land with a live audience, from a corporate hall to a college auditorium.

If there is a question you would like us to answer, about budgets, formats, timelines or a particular kind of event, send it to us and we may turn it into a post.

Planning an event of your own? Browse the speaker directory, explore the speaker topics we cover, or send us a brief and a programme manager will come back with names within one working day. You can also message us on WhatsApp.
