Keynote Speaker

Your Goal Is My Goal

Knowledge may be power, but motion beats meditation.

Your attendees want to be entertained, engaged, and encouraged. You want your attendees to be not only happy with the event, but thrilled. 

You want them sharing their takeaways on social media.

You want them sticking around after the talk is over to shake hands with the speaker, ask an important question they thought of during the talk, share a key moment in their lives as they connect with the speaker, and thank you—repeatedly—for arranging such a powerful speaker.

But that's not all.

Ultimately you want to help make a difference in the lives of your attendees, which is a tall order.

Life is hectic, busy, and noisy.

Competition is ruthless and constantly racing to the bottom in terms of both price and ethics.

Your attendees need to let their guards down for just a moment to receive a compelling message that will help them slay the dragons that await as soon as they get back to the office.

That's what you'll get with my talk that will be custom-tailored to your expectations and the needs of your attendees.

Additionally, I can promise you...

• Timely, polite, professional correspondence. My momma—and the United States Air Force Academy—taught me to be kind to everyone, pay attention to detail, and if you're not five minutes early, you're late!
• No goo-roo ego. I fly Southwest when I can. I also have seven children and a dog who are not impressed with my degrees, speaking engagements, or books I've written...and they remind me of that multiple times a day, so I appreciate the opportunity to stand in front of an audience that wants to hear what I have to say.
• Have it your way. Burger King® and I agree that you should have it your way. You have a vision, a goal, a purpose for your event and your talk, and it's my mission to do everything in my power to support you in that endeavor by creating and delivering a relevant, unique keynote that is in perfect alignment with you and your event planning team.
• Promote, not pitch. Leading up to your event I am happy to be interviewed, provide content for your newsletter and/or blog, and even promote via my own social media channels, The Weekly Whisper, and The Sales Podcast about your event to help promote ticket sales and attendance. However, you will never hear me pitch from the stage or do anything self-serving or not in alignment with your goal for the event. (See "Have it your way.")
• Proven professional. I've been a paid speaker since 2010, a paid trainer since 2006, and a professional instructor since 1995. One could argue that I've been leading and inspiring people by example since 1989, when I was first put in charge of new first year students at the United States Air Force Academy. However you slice it, this ain't my first rodeo. You are getting a proven, tested speaking professional that will engage, inspire, and entertain your attendees.

 Bring in Wes to help make your regional, national, global meeting/conference a success.

"It was so great meeting you! Thank you so much for your session. I learned so much. I'm especially grateful that I had the chance to meet you before my upcoming speaking engagement. My plan for my talk has entirely changed and I know it's going to be so much more profitable now! You are such an inspiration! I'm very blessed to have heard your story and met you. Thanks again!" ~Lori Bryant
