Who’s the Best Motivational Speaker for Your 2020 Kick-Off Meeting? Consider Your Objectives

By TSG

Kickoff Meeting Audience

As we advance toward a new year yet again, it’s time to renew, refocus, and recommit our energies on what matters most personally and professionally. The good news is, you don’t have to do it alone. If you or your organization is looking for an extra dose of motivation for your 2020 kickoff meeting, now is the right time to choose a motivational speaker for this important event.

Managing projects, meeting deadlines, and hitting targets are all about effectively managing your people and motivating them to work toward the common goal. There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to speakers, though. That’s why we’ve highlighted six speakers for your consideration, depending on the outcomes that are most meaningful to you.

Each of the following keynote speakers and workshop leaders offer unique expertise and a unique message to support you in fostering the sound leadership, sales skills, and personal growth required to succeed in an increasingly complex business environment:

To Energize Your Meeting and Your People…

Chip Eichelberger Get Switched On Motivational SpeakerChip Eichelberger: Former international point man of Tony Robbins, Chip has become known as “the energy source for your event” over the past 20 years, as he brings a unique blend of enthusiasm, excitement, and humor to the room. From Harley Davidson dealers to Xerox sales executives and many more, Chip Eichelberger has helped thousands of professionals to achieve unprecedented sales success and personal milestones through his goal-oriented “Get Switched On” programs.

“Chip was fantastic! He helped set the tone for our corporate sales meeting and had people talking about his ideas for three days. The handout and workshop style format is incredible! He was able to connect with everyone and had us all thinking about improving as people and living richer, more fulfilling lives…not just at increase sales. This session was a game changer for many people.” — U.S. Silica


To Empower Your Sales Force to Become Revenue Rock Stars…

As John says, “The best story gets the sale.” If you are looking to transform your sales professionals into Revenue Rock Stars, John Livesay is the sales speaker you need.

“I can’t thank you enough for your participation in, and contribution to, our meeting today. You’re such a rock star. People are still talking about you!” — Anthem, Inc.


To Build Leaders Who Thrive in the Midst of Change, Challenge and Chaos…

Libby Gill Inspirational Leadership SpeakerLibby Gill: Libby is a leadership expert and author of five books on leadership and change management including her most recent release, The Hope-Driven Leader. Libby shows high-performing individuals and organizations why hope is a strategy–if you have the right mindset, methodology, and accountability to implement it. By sharing science-based concepts of hope theory, Libby equips her audiences with the future-focused vision and deep engagement individuals and organizations need to compete in today’s swiftly changing world.

“Libby’s message of action and accountability was strong, impassioned and clear. Her interactive presentation struck a deep chord and really helped set the tone for our event.” — Microsoft


To Help Your People to Tap Into the Power of Peer Influence…

Leo Bottary Leadership SpeakerLeo Bottary: We know that achieving personal goals and being in a position to contribute positively to the lives of others requires us to be at our personal best. Motivational leadership speaker Leo Bottary shows that the key, though, is being surrounded by the right people. Based on lessons from his new book, What Anyone Can Do, Leo highlights the importance of creating teams whose members are committed to one another and who do whatever it takes each day to set their own standard of excellence–and he offers an innovative three-step method to harnessing the power of peer networking.

“We invited him to come to Porto to deliver an incredible talk about Peer Advantage and participate in two peer group sessions. Leo is definitely a peer evangelist, always willing to support his peers to grow every single day.” — CEO World


To Cultivate Resilience and Unleash the Unstoppable Nature of Your People…

As a veteran small business owner who has endured personal and professional crises of his own, inspirational speaker Shawn Ellis shares proven strategies to cultivate resilience and unleash the unstoppable nature of your people so they can reach their goals. With an inspirational, customized, story-driven presentation, Shawn takes pride in helping people build better businesses while maintaining peace of mind.

To Leverage the Power of Communication to Achieve Your Business Objectives…

Michelle Tillis Lederman Communication SpeakerMichelle Tillis Lederman: Known as The Connection Instigator, Michelle has been named by Forbes as one of 25 Professional Networking Experts to Watch. The author of four books, including The 11 Laws of Likability, Michelle is ultimately a “people expert” who inspires organizations and individuals to build real relationships and get real results by harnessing the power of effective communication. Communication, after all, is the foundation of every interaction–every hire, every sale, every “yes” and every “no”–and how we communicate, and how we connect our message to our conversation partners’ interests, will determine how well we can influence another person in any setting.

“WOW…is how I would describe Michelle and her speeches. Engagement with the audience is so important, and Michelle hits that right on the head each time she speaks. She takes great pride in her content and making sure each audience receives what it is looking for.” — College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving
