Keynote Speaker USA
They say that when you speak for a US audience you need to deliver 80% inspiration and 20% facts. Whether those percentages are entirely accurate is open to debate but the point is valid enough. Audiences in the United States typically want a keynote speaker with personality, drive and a compelling story that will fire them up and motivate them to transcend their fears and doubts. If you are looking for a keynote speaker in the USA who is capable of taking your audience on a lively and compelling journey of discovery you will find none better than Bianca Miller.
About Bianca
The public first became aware of Bianca Miller when she appeared on the BBC programme “The Apprentice” in 2016 and became the first woman of colour to make it to the finals. Every week millions were captivated by her charm, her drive, her intelligence and her authenticity and in the years since she has risen to become one of the UK’s most influential entrepreneurs and one of its most in-demand speakers.
The quality of her consultancy work has attracted clients that include Google, Tesco, Meta/Facebook, Barclays Bank and many others. In 2016 she launched her own line of hosiery – Bianca Miller London – designed specifically to address the long-overlooked needs of women of colour.
Her most recent venture is Hian Skin Renewal, an eco-friendly 3-step skin care system that also happens to be cruelty-free and all-natural. For her efforts, Bianca has been recognised as one of LinkedIn’s 10 most powerful UK leaders, alongside the likes of former PM David Cameron and Sir Richard Branson.

But perhaps the most important reason to book Bianca Miller as your keynote speaker is her ability to inspire. Most audience members come away from one of Bianca’s talks better informed, yes. But also determined to raise their game and be better workers, better leaders and better people.
TESTIMONIALS
What is the Purpose of a Keynote Speech?
The keynote speech can have different purposes though they usually fall into one of the following categories:
- To motivate: If the organizer of a convention or conference needs members of the audience to be enthused about something (maybe a new product or service) they will use the keynote address as a source of motivation.
- To educate: If the organizer wants to use the keynote speech to educate the audience about a particular subject they will hire a speaker who is recognized as an expert on the topic or in the field of endeavor. You will often hear keynote speeches with an educational slant at conventions or seminars.
- To inform: The keynote speech is often used as a vehicle to inform the audience about things the organizer deems to be important. That may be financial results, findings of the company’s research division, the results of a recent product launch or something similar.
- To entertain: Sometimes the goal of the keynote speech is to lighten the mood and entertain the audience. This type of keynote speech is often given at the close of a conference in order to send audience members home smiling.
The organizer and the speaker need to be on the same page when it comes to the purpose of the keynote speech so that there are no surprises or awkward moments.
What Makes a Good Keynote Speaker?
Here are some common qualities shared by the best keynote speakers.
They are good storytellers
The best keynote speakers are able to structure their talk in a way similar to a traditional narrative. That means establishing key elements like setting, characters, theme and stakes early on and then paying everything off in the final act. It’s a structure everyone is familiar with and enables the speaker to make their points while entertaining the audience at the same time.
They love what they do
Some people need to be dragged out on stage and told what to say word for word. The best keynote speakers on the other hand are happy to take the stage and may talk for an hour without ever looking at their notes. This type of easy manner is infectious causing audience members to drop their guard, sit back and enjoy the show.
They are credible

They are authentic
The authentic speaker is the same person at the podium that they were backstage or they would be at a meet and greet.
