Female Keynote Speaker
Secrets of the Successful Female Keynote Speaker
The keynote speaker should, in theory, represent the high point of a conference or convention. Their job is to provide a nexus around which the rest of the conference revolves. If the keynote speaker goes over well, the conference as a whole will be regarded in a positive light. If the keynote speaker is not up to the challenge of impressing and inspiring the audience, the conference as a whole will suffer.
More and more conferences and conventions are choosing a female keynote speaker because the word is (finally) out that influential women have powerful, affirming stories to tell of their struggles to break through the glass ceiling and to foster diversity and inclusion in a working culture that has long been sorely lacking in both.
TESTIMONIALS
In Search of the Inspirational Female Speaker
Women bring a unique and fresh perspective to issues and events, one that is borne of years of struggle and strain against the patriarchal corporate culture. The best are able to unify and inspire the audience by relaying universal truths and set the tone for the entire conference by creating context both with their chosen topic and the manner in which their ideas and concepts are conveyed.
The Best Female Keynote Speakers…
Capture the essence of the conference
When keynote speakers fall flat, or use the occasion for nothing but self-promotion, it leaves the audience confused and disappointed. The best, most inspirational speakers zero in on the essence of the conference theme and imbue it with insight and context. They bring the theme to life with real-world examples of the issue/topic/event at work in their life. Ultimately, a great keynote speech is like a great painting; multi-layered, engaging and enlightening.
Speak directly to the audience
A keynote speech is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. The best are tailored specifically to the audience. Whether the topic is the future of work and the audience are several hundred 20-somethings anxious about how AI will impact their career trajectory, or the topic is how to be an effective business leader in the post-pandemic world and the audience are corporate managers and directors, the speaker must shape their message to address the specific real-world experience of that audience.
Understand that they are in part an entertainer
A dry recitation of statistics will not engage or inspire anyone. The female keynote speaker needs to appreciate their role as an entertainer and understand the importance of levity. Humour provides a welcome break that enables audience members to exhale while processing what they’ve heard. No one expects a song and dance but don’t underestimate the power of making people laugh.
Other important traits of world-class female motivational speakers include the ability to:
- Maintain effective control over pacing
- Connect with only minimal use of props
- Personalise their message
- Convey actionable concepts
- Wrap things up in a satisfying way
