Keynote Speakers Who Offer Consulting Services Post-Event

When looking for a keynote speaker, it can be tricky deciding what to focus on to help you make your decision. Some places we often look are at their speaking reels, speaking history, and areas of expertise. But most times we overlook a big indicator of success — do they have a consulting business?

Many speakers not only perform keynotes, sharing their insights with large audiences on a big stage, but they also work behind the scenes, coaching one on one with leadership teams, executives, and organizations as a whole. Consulting businesses offer specialization, more time, and more hands-on skill-building to boost you and your team to where they want to be. And all this work often finetunes a keynote speaker's coaching and speaking abilities, making them reliable candidates for the big stage. We have compiled a few of our keynote speakers who also own their own consulting business, so you can get a full, well-rounded picture of what they have to offer.
