Guest Speakers

Hi!

I run employee engagement at a fully remote tech company and our exec board is wanting to introduce more guest speakers as part of our learning & development offerings. The issue is we don't have too much of a budget allocated for this - it's capped at around $1-2k a speaker, and the last thing I want to do is be the company that low-balls/underpays professionals what they're worth.

Any recomendations on resources, sites, or groups that I can look into that offer services at that price point? Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

What profile of speakers are you looking after? Elpha is an amazing place and I can recommend you people! Also i think this budget is extremely reasonable especially if this presenter is remote! Feel free to reach out if you want to brainstorm offline!
Mostly speakers for heritage months. I will reach out to you via DM - thanks!!
Hey, Gregoria, I've done that before, and the budget is not ridiculous - it just does not fit some hyped profiles out there...If it's "just" quality, inspiration and impact you're after, and not big brands, let me know, it can be worked out.
I'd also love to learn more about the profile of speakers and desired topics as I might be able to help you further. Feel free to DM me.
Another suggestion is to tap into your broader network as well as the one from your Executive Team, some folks may be willing to be a guest speaker as a favor, no budget, but to get awareness to their causes.
That’s a fantastic suggestion!+1 OP!

Hey there! I do corporate speaking gigs on the following topics: creating sustainable life and work cadences, a unique approach for managing and processing overwhelm (individually & as a team), and why work/life balance is bullshit and what to do about it. Feel free to DM me if any of those are of interest!
