Truth be told, it’s extremely difficult for business leaders to find qualified speakers that can both deliver a high level of motivation while at the same time deeply relating with an audience, especially in the insurance industry. That’s the absolute hardest part of sourcing a candidate for an upcoming keynote speech or workshop.
Over the years Redbird has worked directly with some incredible keynote speakers that either had a successful story in the insurance industry / financial services, or are still actively in the insurance and financial services industry. We believe the independent insurance community is starving to not only connect with highly successful professionals, but those that have survived the trenches and understand the sacrifices it takes to win at the highest level of the insurance business.
The key for your next event is bringing together a highly accomplished keynote speaker or workshop leader that possesses an amazing story telling ability while also resonating with every producer and employee in the audience. Do this and you’ll start seeing amazing business growth and development of high performance employees and team members.
Below are some of the best keynote speakers that are sure to deeply influence the behavioral change it takes to get out of your comfort zone and grow. All leaders listed below are available for your next keynote or workshop event whether it be in-person or virtual.
