If you’re searching for communications keynote speakers, you’re usually trying to solve a specific problem — not just “improve communication”. A great keynote makes the message practical, memorable, and easy to apply straight away, especially for busy teams.
Common outcomes include:
Turning complex strategy into a message people can repeat (and act on)
Cutting waffle and improving clarity in meetings, emails, and updates
Improving feedback, accountability, and difficult conversations
Building influence across teams (even without authority)
Strengthening leadership presence and stakeholder communication
Lifting hybrid/remote communication and digital meeting habits
Improving customer conversations, service recovery, and negotiation
Using storytelling to make ideas stick (without being cheesy)
The fastest way to get a keynote that hits home is a tight brief. When you enquire, send (or be ready to answer) the points below — it helps us recommend speakers who match your audience and your outcome.
Your best brief includes:
The #1 change you want after the talk (behaviour, culture, performance)
Who’s in the room (roles, seniority, industry, team mix)
What’s currently breaking down (real examples: meetings, handovers, silos)
The tone you want (high-energy, strategic, funny, leadership-focused)
Format and timing (keynote only, keynote + Q&A, workshop add-on)
Any “avoid” topics or sensitivities
The key message you want repeated internally after the event
How you’ll measure success (pulse survey, action plan, team commitments)
Tell us what you want your audience to do differently after the session, and we’ll shortlist communications keynote speakers who fit your brief — including tone, delivery style, and format.
We’ll confirm availability, guide you on the best run-time for your agenda, and help shape the speaker briefing so the keynote feels made for your room, not copied-and-pasted from the internet.
Start with the outcome you want from the session.
Are you aiming to improve leadership messaging, build confidence in presenting, reduce misunderstandings between teams, or support a change program?
Then consider who’s in the room (executives, managers, frontline teams) and the tone you want (high-energy, practical, story-led, or skills-focused).
Share that brief with us and we’ll recommend communications keynote speakers who match your audience, industry and event format.
Fees vary depending on the speaker’s profile, demand, event location, and whether the session is in-person or virtual. Customisation, travel, and additional formats (like a workshop or MC role) can also affect pricing.
If you share your budget range and event details, we can shortlist communications keynote speakers who fit your brief and confirm availability and fees quickly.
A communications keynote is designed to align and energise a larger audience with clear ideas, memorable frameworks and practical takeaways.
A workshop goes deeper and is more interactive—ideal for leadership teams, managers or customer-facing groups who need hands-on practice with things like difficult conversations, feedback, stakeholder messaging, or presentation skills.
If you’re not sure which suits your event, we can recommend the best format based on your goal and audience.
