Hiring a Women in Leadership Keynote Speaker: A Planner’s Guide

A great women in leadership keynote speaker does more than inspire for an hour. She leaves the room with a way of thinking about leadership that holds up on a hard Monday. If you are planning a women’s leadership event, here is how to choose well.

Prioritize lived experience

Audiences connect with leaders who have actually led. My own path runs through twelve years of coaching tennis, a decade of training new real estate agents, and thirty years of competitive athletics. That is the raw material behind my leadership keynote, Coached, Not Bossed.

Look for range

The best leadership speakers can hold a room of senior executives and a room of first time managers with equal command. Ask for examples of both.

Make sure the takeaway is concrete

  • A clear model for giving feedback that lands
  • A way to hold high standards without bossing people
  • Language your attendees can use the next morning
