5 Things You Want from Your Keynote Speaker
The best keynote speakers are able to paint with broad strokes yet at the same time make important points that are relevant to individuals at every level of an organisation or industry. These are some of the traits you want to see in a keynote speaker:
- The ability to speak to the event’s purpose: Too often keynote speakers will use your platform to promote themselves. What you want instead is someone who understands what is behind your event and then addresses that in a comprehensive and effective way.
- The ability to focus on the wants and needs of the audience: A great keynote speaker, because they understand the purpose of the event and will not stray from that, are able to quickly establish a rapport with members of the audience.
- The ability to entertain as well as inform: A keynote address should never be just a dry recitation of facts and figures. It needs to be balanced. It needs to provide audience members with opportunities to smile and even laugh. In short, effective messaging requires putting the audience at ease and the best keynote speakers understand that.
- The ability to sprinkle their talk with personal anecdotes: The people listening want to know that the speaker practices what they preach. Providing personal examples of how the concepts they are championing helped enable their own success will help to build trust with the audience.
- The ability to create a compelling call to action: The best keynote speakers provide their audience with more than information. They also inspire them to action and provide ways for attendees to put their concepts and ideas into action.

It was a delight to host her alongside EPAA for the Career Masterclass and I look forward to being able to work with her again on future events.
Bianca ran a session on personal branding on the first day and a session on future focused thinking on the second day. Her delivery , energy and professionalism got the candidates engaged and we could not be happier with just how insightful and enjoyable her sessions were.
We booked Bianca to be our opening keynote speaker for our recent Festival of Learning event. We were looking for an energising and motivational start to the day, and Bianca was the absolute perfect fit. She brought really high energy to kick the day off with a bang, she got everyone at the session involved and the feedback has been superb. Everyone felt it was the perfect way to kick our event off, they found her keynote on “Building your brand” really motivating and she set the tone for the rest of the day perfectly. Fantastic keynote speaker and the perfect choice to get everyone energised and inspired.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Bianca come in for the KPMG Personal Branding workshop. Bianca has great energy and fantastic delivery and really kept the group constantly engaged.
The workshop was of a great quality and really highlighted issues which many of us are unaware of as these are skills that are usually always spoken of but not explained prescriptively.
Overall, the workshop was a massive success and the feedback for Bianca was extremely high. She did a fantastic job and really helped us all collectively and individually learn more as a group. Frank
