Why a Motivational Speaker Might Be Exactly What Your Next Event Needs
If you’re planning an event and want to make it memorable, booking a motivational speaker can be the perfect way to bring everything to life. It’s not just about ticking a box on the schedule; it’s about inspiring people, energising the room, and creating those lightbulb moments that stay with people long after they’ve gone home.
Hi, I’m Dr Alison Edgar MBE. I’m all about helping people and businesses smash their goals. I’ve worked with organisations all over the globe delivering keynotes that are packed with practical tips, relatable stories, and plenty of laughs (because who said learning can’t be fun?).
Why Motivation Matters
Let’s be honest—staying motivated isn’t always easy. The pressures of work, life, and everything in between can be overwhelming at times. But here’s the thing: motivation isn’t just about feeling pumped for a day; it’s about changing the way you think so you can stay focused and inspired even when things get tough.
That’s where a motivational speaker can make a real difference—not just with fluffy feel-good quotes but with real-life stories and actionable strategies to help you and your team see things from a new perspective.
What Makes My Keynotes Different?
When I deliver a talk, I aim to give the audience something they can actually use. Whether it’s learning how to prioritise like a pro with my Big Balls® time management method, understanding how to adapt your behaviour using DISC, or reframing challenges into opportunities, everything is grounded in practical tools that people can apply straight away.
I’m not the kind of speaker who stands behind a lectern reading off slides. I prefer to get involved, interact with the audience, and make sure they leave feeling energised and ready to take action.
Topics I Cover
Depending on the event, my talks can focus on a variety of topics, including:
Goal-setting that works – because it’s about more than writing things down; it’s about taking action.
Intrapreneurship – thinking like it’s your business, even if it’s not.
Building influence and impact – how to bring others along with your ideas.
Resilience and adapting to change – because life never goes in a straight line.
Time management and productivity – based on my tried and tested Big Balls® system.
Why Hire a Motivational Speaker?
Most people leave events feeling motivated, but the real magic is when that motivation turns into tangible change. A great speaker can give you the mindset shifts and practical strategies to keep that energy going. It’s about planting seeds of growth that can make a lasting difference.
