Speaking Bureau’s and Professional Speaking Services

If you’re looking for someone to help you host a party or an event, someone who can really appeal to a crowd, or even just a small gathering, then the charm of a Professional Speaker might be just what you need. However you can’t just simply find a Speaker while walking down the street or just search it online, if you need a Speaker, you need to find a Speaker’s Bureau.

Speaker’s Bureau

A Speaker’s Bureau essentially acts like an Agent for professional speakers, as they help to supply speakers to clients that require them for all sorts of events and roles which include, but are not limited to, after-dinner speakers and awards hosts, motivational speakers and keynote speakers, and most commonly, conference facilitators. The Bureau can offer a client a wide variety of personalities from their databases that can extend to a broad range of fields that included business and politics, or television and comedy.

The Bureau will initiate the initial contact and introduction of the client to the speaker and prepares both parties for the following stages of contact, helping to arrange the booking and logistics involved. The most common clients tend to be businesses and corporations, but educational, public and charitable institutions also use them extensively.

Types of Speakers

The two most common types of speakers are the Keynote Speaker and the Motivational Speaker. These are professional speakers who are well-versed in the style of public speaking that is designed to inspire and motivate their audience.

Motivational Speakers
Sometimes known as inspirational speakers, these speakers tend to specialise in motivating and inspiring audiences and are typically employed by businesses, mostly for helping to communicate new company strategies and information and to inspire the workers to come together as a team to achieve specific goals.

Though there are a lot of similarities between a Motivational and an Inspirational Speaker, to the point where a speaker can perform both roles, there are defining differences between the two. One example of this is in the type of speeches and their delivery of them.

An inspirational speaker is better suited to deliver warm and encouraging messages, usually intertwined with a story that involves overcoming struggles and challenges. This gives the audience a higher degree of exalted an enlivened emotion, which lifts their spirits and, suitably, “inspires” them.

In comparison though, a motivational speaker is more included to energise and charge their deliveries, providing a presentation with a more electric nature which would drive the audience into action rather than contemplation.

Keynote Speakers
These speakers are more often preferred for particular or specialised events, such as large meetings or conferences, usually associated with a particular association or company. Keynote speakers are typically well known for their experience, whether it be in selective fields of study and knowledge, or their own fame and recognition due to accomplishments, in most cases, it is usually a combination of both. This is the main factor that will draw prospective audiences to them.
