CREATE PURPOSE FOR YOUR CORPORATE MEETING

A leadership keynote speaker can serve as a powerful contributor to your corporate function. To leverage the impact a keynote speaker could offer to your group, you’ll want to align your event’s purpose with the speaker. There are numerous reasons for hosting an event and each one affects the type of presentation a speaker gives. As you and your guest speaker prepare for the engagement, know the goal you seek to achieve with your event and consider how it correlates with the keynote speech. You might consider one of the following four categories as a possible premise for your next corporate function.

Create a Mindset

Your company might be unveiling a new corporate image, or maybe it’s just a new year, and you want to set a certain mood. This type of presentation can establish a tone for the overall meeting and likely help you to prepare the audience mentally for a mindset you seek to generate among the attendees. If you have a specific theme, innovation for example, that you’d like reinforced, a presentation featuring the idea can set the tone you envision for the function.

Activate Interest

You’re announcing a product rollout and you want to raise excitement around the idea. Meetings focused on interest awareness serve as an opportunity to inform employees and generate enthusiasm for the new endeavor. This is an opportunity to rally employees around a specific cause and motivate them to get excited and supportive of a new company product or initiative.

Motivate Productivity

A leadership keynote speaker can be an influential catalyst to inspire employee productivity and performance. There are numerous reasons to host a motivational meeting. Yet, the message is universally focused on infusing a positive and excited workforce which is eager to play a role in the company’s success.

Industry Expertise

In circumstances where industry-specific insight is warranted, a company might feature a leadership keynote speaker who can speak knowledgeably on a topic. Advice and insight from an industry expert are more likely to be accepted and valued. It could also offer a perspective that could impact workforce performance.

Ready to Plan

Planning a corporate meeting could be a daunting process. However, if it’s approached with manageable activities, it could be less of a challenge. Selecting the type of function to host can be the first step. Whether your goal is to create a mindset, inspire employees, motivate performance, or inform, your next actions could fall into place more easily as you plan a function.
