If ever there was a time for leaders all over the globe to work smarter - from the CEOs of large corporations, to small business owners, to everyone in between – it is right now.

We could all use some hopeful words during this unprecedented pandemic. As we go into our Easter weekend, cmi wishes you a peace and love. Dan Thurmon outlines how we can have hope during this crisis and below are a few light-hearted resources for having a different kind of holiday. Enjoy and stay safe!

It is remarkable what people can do when they set their minds to it - when they put together ideas and programs that move people to take action in incredible ways. It’s one of the things we love best here at cmi – being surrounded by the talent and passion we see in the keynote speakers we represent. 

The person introducing a keynote speaker gets the audience's attention and sets the tone for the talk and for the experience. To make the most of your presentation of presenters – I thought I’d share a few industry tips.

This time of year, many organizations are planning their 2020 sales kickoff events! Hiring a great sales keynote speaker can help you maximize the impact of your event and motivate your sales team to create breakthroughs and bottom line results.

We love our keynote speakers for their talent, passion, charisma, and cool – but mostly for the incredible way they are able to motivate audiences to take empowered, results-producing ACTION. That’s why my team and I had a little fun rounding up some of our favorite quotes from these extraordinary keynote speakers. We thought it might inspire you as you’re choosing who to hire for your 2020 events! 

There are a lot of leadership keynote speakers out there in our industry. Some good, some better, and some exceptional. As someone who’s been around this “block” a long time and keeps a keen eye on the talent both experienced, and emerging, I’m asked often what I believe to be the differentiators. 

For almost twenty years, my team has been connecting some of the highest quality keynote speakers in the industry with amazing clients all around the globe. We’ve learned a lot along the way in terms of what works and what doesn’t. What helps companies create lasting impact, and what they’ve shared with us that has left events falling flat. All that information gathering has helped us to create what we know to be the magic formulas for ensuring audiences are always left feeling more empowered, inspired, and with the take-aways that they know will make a difference in their lives and careers.
