Discover Popular Motivational Professional Speakers
Selecting the right professional speaker (or professional speakers) is one of the most important tasks that an event organizer and / or planning committee will do in producing an amazing live event. Keynote speakers set the tone for the whole conference and there is more to a great presentation than filling slots on the agenda. Finding popular motivational speakers who will deliver the “wow” on stage is key to the success of a conference. This page has some great recommended professional speakers and all of them are amazing.
Creating a strong “short list” of potential presenters is the first step in discovering the best fit for your meeting. But knowing where to start is key to getting the right list.
There are all kinds of professional speakers that are needed for events. No two meetings are the same. A speaker is not a commodity and you cannot judge a speaker by topic alone.
Types of speakers:
- High School Speakers
- Corporate Speakers
- Non-profit Organization Speakers
- Famous Motivational Speakers
- Best-Selling Author Speakers
- Social Media Speakers

What is Popular?
When people think about hiring a popular motivational speaker they usually think of celebrities, because those are who we see in the media. Names of motivational authors and others with fame come to mind: Oprah Winfrey, Les Brown, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, Robin Sharma, Suze Orman, Jim Rohn, Eric Thomas, Brian Tracy and countless others are the first on the list.
Yet those who I would consider the top 10 motivational speakers in the world are not those whom are known to everyone. The best professional speakers inspire people to be more and do more. It is not about having an IMBD page or a best-selling books. So look beyond fame and find amazing leaders who will create a memorable experience.

Yes, Thom Singer wants every meeting planner to hire HIM as a speaker for their events. He is an experienced association and corporate speaker with over 800 presentations. However, he also knows that he is not always the right fit for every conference audience.

Thus, Thom as made it his goal to not only promote himself, but to assist meeting organizers identify other great speakers.
