Companies have recognized the critical role professional development plays not just in adapting but also thriving during times of disruptive change. As such, more and more companies are hiring a professional development keynote speaker who can engage their employees – from high-level executives to front-line staff. During these professional development keynote speeches, workshops, and seminars, leaders are shown how they can engage, inspire, and develop their employees. Employees are given the tools to pursue personal and professional development. As they say, “a rising tide floats all boats.” The company is bound to do the same when employees grow and develop.
In hiring a professional development speaker, meeting planners should consider that they could function as an opening or closing keynote speaker or lead a breakout session where they may function as a motivational speaker by supporting employee engagement by focusing on personal development or motivational subject. In addition, some professional development speakers, including some top personal development speakers, are known to function as inspirational speakers for schools and colleges.

Regardless of their role, a professional development keynote speaker will be engaging and motivational. Their experience and expertise will also allow them to deliver content relevant to the industry and organization. They will not only be able to entertain but educate the audience, giving them tools that will help them to grow and become more effective and productive.
