Virtual Speaker
Dr Alison Edgar MBE delivers virtual keynotes that hold a screen the way she holds a room. She once kept a 10,000-strong online audience engaged from start to finish, and virtual sessions start from £3,000 + VAT.
10,000
viewers held from start to finish, at a single virtual keynote for the Polish government.
“Alison Edgar MBE's keynote speech on 'SMASH IT! with intrapreneurship' at our event for the Polish government was powerful. She was incredibly easy to work with, kept to time well, met the brief, and went above and beyond to keep the circa 10,000 viewers engaged and motivated.”
Does a motivational keynote work over a screen?
It does when it is built for the screen. A virtual keynote has the same job as an in-person one: change how people think and act once the session ends. Alison designs hers around interaction, so an online audience participates instead of watching a lecture.
The evidence is in the audiences. She kept 10,000 online viewers engaged from start to finish for the Polish government, delivered a virtual, interactive session to MetLife's 500-woman salesforce, and has broadcast hybrid keynotes live across Europe, the Middle East and Africa for LVMH.
The content is the same framework her corporate clients book in person, The Intrapreneur Mindset: three questions that change how a team decides, ending on "what would I do if it were my business?" And with sessions from £3,000 + VAT and no travel, virtual is the most accessible way to put her in front of your team.

What clients say
I have known Alison for over 6 years and in this time her passion, commitment and energy have always been at the forefront of her success. Alison is knowledgeable, practical and very entrepreneurial, so when we had an event where MetLife needed a speaker I didn't think twice to recommend her as I knew she would be able to deliver the best virtual, yet interactive session for our 500 women salesforce. Overall Alison is a pleasure to interact, work and learn from and I look forward to working with her again soon.
Alison talks about her Big Balls and boy does she have them! We hired Alison for our keynote slot and would absolutely recommend her: a kick-ass attitude that got the room buzzing and inspired the digital attendees too.
Carys, LVMH From first engaging with Alison there was an absolute synergy and engagement with her having an instant understanding of the aims and objectives for my event. Alison went out of her way pre-event to ensure that she was totally on point with her content in the context of the day. Her delivery was great, really in line with our overall theme, engaging, funny and informative and really resonated with our audience.
