“After a discussion about our campaign’s theme, Alvin delivered an engaging tailored presentation that helped encompass our theme through the power of storytelling! Alvin’s online presence was electric and folks learned more about both Alvin, and the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion at Shopify, and also outside of Shopify!”
Karina Cotran, Knowledge Management Specialist, Shopify
"Andrew Brash's Multimedia Keynote presentation left me uplifted and inspired, but most importantly with the knowledge affirming that saving a life is the most important thing we can do for another human being. Andrew eloquently tells his story of events that took place on Mt. Everest in 2006 and 2008 - and his audience is riveted and right along on the climbs with him! The pictorial slides take your breath away as the story unfolds. The "human element" of this story can't help but touch your heart and ground your thoughts! Andrew Brash gives an excellent presentation and is a dynamic speaker!"Marlene Donnelly - Coordinator - Alberta Teachers' Association Guidance Conference
"Andrew, just to let you know, when people talk to me about the CIPS (information technology conference) from last year, they refer to it as "the conference where the Everest climbing guy spoke". One year later people were still talking about the speech that you gave to our group - it was a huge hit."Ross Phillips I.S.P., ITCP - CIPS Edmonton, ICE Conference Chair

F.A.Q.
What makes a motivational speaker different from a regular keynote speaker?
A motivational speaker is there to shift how the room feels. They share a real story, build energy, and leave people believing they can handle what’s in front of them. A standard keynote often leans on strategy or hard numbers instead. Plenty of our motivational speakers do both, wrapping a practical takeaway inside a story that sticks. If your goal is to lift a team before a big push, this is usually the group you want.
What kind of events suit a motivational speaker best?
They work well anywhere people need a reset or a lift. Think sales kickoffs, annual meetings, staff appreciation days, conferences after a hard year, and leadership retreats. A talk near the start of your agenda sets the tone for everything after it. One near the close sends people home on a high. We can help you pick the right spot based on what you want your audience to feel and do next.
How long does a motivational keynote usually run?
Most sit between 45 and 60 minutes. That’s long enough to tell a full story and land a few clear points, and short enough to keep the energy up. Some speakers offer a 30-minute version for packed schedules, or a longer format with a workshop or a question-and-answer session after the talk. Tell us your timing, and we’ll match you with someone who fits it.
Can a motivational speaker tie their message to our company?
Yes, and the good ones want to. Before the event they’ll ask about your team, your goals, and the challenges you’re working through. Many will review your theme or talk with a few of your leaders so their examples feel personal to the room. The more background you share while planning, the more the talk feels built for your people rather than pulled off a shelf.
$7500 – $35000, there are exceptions with speakers in the $3500 and up range as well
How much does it cost to book a motivational speaker?
Fees usually run from about $7500 to $35,000, depending on the speaker’s profile, how in demand they are, and how much prep the talk needs. Local speakers cost less since there’s no travel or hotel to cover, and virtual talks often come in cheaper than in-person ones. We’re upfront about pricing from the first call, so you can pick someone who fits your budget and still connects with your audience.
