A rousing keynote speaker will leave the audience energized and enthused to attend the sessions.&nbsp; This is important for sponsors as well as attendees because a motivated attendee will be more engaged with the exhibitors, additional sessions, and will encourage their associates to be more engaged.&nbsp; This dynamic places an onus on the meeting planner to creatively procure a keynote speaker who will set the stage for success.<br /><br />When selecting a motivational keynote speaker, the goal is to hire the best speaker, who will meet your meeting objectives and inspire an audience-- all within the budget.<br /><br />Certainly there are many speakers to choose from.&nbsp; Some will draw due to their celebrity status, and some because of their situation. &nbsp;<br /><br />Here are 5 questions you should ask when selecting a Keynote Speaker:<br /><br /></p> <ol> <li><strong>Does the message inspire action?</strong> Having an inspiring message that is easily understood and actionable is a hallmark of a great speaker.&nbsp; Being a celebrity may or may not also entail having an engaging presentation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ask the speakers bureau for video or post event evaluations to learn more about the audience reaction to the speaker.</li> <li><strong>Does the speaker appeal to the audience?</strong>&nbsp; Considerations like gender and style relative to the audience are important.&nbsp;&nbsp; Having an appropriate speaker who the audience responds to is part science and part understanding the emotional response to the speaker before the first word is uttered. &nbsp;</li> <li><strong>Is the message sincere?</strong>&nbsp; Most speakers who are represented by a bureau have been vetted, but there is sometimes an opportunity to have a speaker who is not through a bureau or who represents him or herself.&nbsp; If the speaker does not come across as sincere, or their message does not resonate or is dated, the audience may walk away with a poor impression of the hosting organization.</li> <li><strong>Does the speaker have impressive credentials or life experience?</strong> There are situations where a speaker may want to discuss a topic, but they lack the expertise, depth, or life experience to be deemed credible by the audience. Again, this is risky for the host organization.&nbsp; Working with a speakers group, you are assured that the speaker is vetted as an expert on the topic.</li> <li><strong>How does the speaker relate to the theme and message for the event?</strong>&nbsp; Matching the event theme and attendees&rsquo; expectations with an experienced keynote speaker who will dazzle the audience and motivate and inspire is an art.&nbsp;&nbsp; Having a pulse on the speakers who are relevant and effective is fundamental to a well-attended and inspiring motivational keynote speaker.</li> </ol><br />Answering these questions is just the beginning.&nbsp; There are many considerations, including audience demographics, expectations and who they may relate to.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s proven that certain audiences tend to favor one gender over another. &nbsp;<br /><br />Creating a scientific checklist approach enables the meeting planner to evaluate all of the important variables to select the best keynote speaker to fit the audience and the event. <br /><span id="hs-cta-wrapper-c086703a-90d3-4753-99b8-62c2997220e4" class="hs-cta-wrapper" style=" border-width: 0px;" > <!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --> <span class="hs-cta-node hs-cta-c086703a-90d3-4753-99b8-62c2997220e4" id="hs-cta-c086703a-90d3-4753-99b8-62c2997220e4"> <a href="http://info.wwsg.com/download-the-meeting-planners-checklist-for-keynote-speakers" data-mce-href="http://info.wwsg.com/download-the-meeting-planners-checklist-for-keynote-speakers"><img id="hs-cta-img-c086703a-90d3-4753-99b8-62c2997220e4" src="//d1n2i0nchws850.cloudfront.net/portals/115471/2fefa382-e005-4fd1-aa29-247ed0fee982-1328198058567/download-our-whitepaper.png?v=1328198058.83" alt="download-the-meeting-plannerapossspea" class="hs-cta-img" style="border-width:0px" mce_noresize="1" data-mce-src="//d1n2i0nchws850.cloudfront.net/portals/115471/2fefa382-e005-4fd1-aa29-247ed0fee982-1328198058567/download-our-whitepaper.png?v=1328198058.83" data-mce-style="border-width: 0px;"></a> </span><script type="text/javascript"> (function(){ var hsjs = document.createElement("script");
