We Don't Book Celebrity Speakers. We Connect Impact With Audiences.

In a world of speaker bureaus chasing the flashiest names, we've built something different—a boutique bureau where every speaker on our roster is someone we know personally, trust completely, and believe can create genuine transformation for your audience.

The Select Voices Difference

After years working in the speaking industry, I learned something that changed everything: the difference between a good event and a transformative one isn't about booking the biggest name—it's about finding the perfect match between message and audience. That's why Select Voices exists.

Every speaker we represent is someone I know personally. Not just professionally—personally. Some I manage directly, helping them shape their keynotes and build their speaking businesses. Others I've worked with on their marketing, websites, and demo reels through my company SpeakerSight. But every single one? I could pick up the phone right now and call them. I know their stories. I've seen them on stage. I understand what makes their message resonate.

This sets us apart from bureaus that pitch whoever's trending or chase commissions from celebrity speakers. We're not interested in booking the flashiest object in the room. We're interested in creating moments that change how your audience thinks, works, and leads.

"Our goal isn't to present the most famous speaker. Our goal is to present the speaker who will have the biggest impact on your specific audience—because we know both intimately."

Why Personal Relationships Matter

When you work with Select Voices, you're not getting a sales pitch from someone who's never met the speaker. You're getting insider knowledge from someone who has:

Worked With Them Behind the Scenes

I've helped shape their keynotes, refine their messaging, and build their marketing. I know what they do well, how they customize for different audiences, and what makes them exceptional at what they do.

Seen Them Deliver Under Pressure

I've watched them handle tough crowds, adapt to last-minute changes, and deliver when it matters most. I know their energy, their authenticity, and how they connect with different types of audiences.

Built Trust Over Time

These aren't transactional relationships. These are speakers I've broken bread with, strategized with, and watched grow. When I recommend someone, it's because I'd stake my reputation on them—because I have.

Our Speaker Selection Philosophy

Not every great speaker makes our roster. We're selective—intentionally. The speakers who represent Select Voices share these qualities:

Real Experience, Real Stories

Our speakers have lived what they teach. They're Navy SEALs who led teams in combat. Astronauts who've orbited Earth. CEOs who've built billion-dollar brands. Cancer survivors who've stared down death. Their authority isn't manufactured—it's earned.

Proven Frameworks, Not Motivational Fluff

Every speaker we work with teaches actionable frameworks your teams can implement Monday morning. They don't just inspire temporary enthusiasm—they equip audiences with tools that drive sustained performance.

Authentic Connection Over Celebrity Status

Our speakers connect because they're genuine. They share vulnerabilities, answer tough questions, and stay long after their keynote ends. They care more about creating impact than collecting speaking fees.

Customization, Always

Generic keynotes don't move audiences. Every speaker we represent works directly with meeting planners to understand challenges, culture, and goals—then customizes their message to resonate with that specific audience.

How We Match Speaker to Audience

Here's what sets Select Voices apart: we don't start by asking which speakers are available. We start by understanding your audience.

What challenges are they facing? What keeps your leadership up at night? What transformation are you hoping to create? Is your team struggling with change fatigue? Do you need to rebuild culture after layoffs? Are your leaders burning out? Do your salespeople need resilience in a tough market?

Then—and only then—do we recommend speakers. Because I know each speaker's strengths, their frameworks, and the audiences they connect with most powerfully, I can make matches that bureaus pushing flavor-of-the-month speakers simply can't.

The Select Voices Promise

Personal Knowledge: Every speaker is someone we know personally and trust completely.

Perfect Matches: We recommend speakers based on your audience's needs, not our commission potential.

Seamless Experience: From inquiry to post-event follow-up, we handle every detail so you can focus on your event.

Real Impact: Our speakers don't just deliver keynotes—they create transformation your team will talk about for months.

Beyond the Keynote

Our relationship doesn't end when the speaker leaves the stage. Because I know these speakers personally, I can facilitate:

  • Pre-event calls to align messaging with your organizational goals
  • Customized content that addresses your specific challenges
  • Post-keynote workshops or breakout sessions for deeper impact
  • Follow-up resources and implementation tools
  • Ongoing relationships for annual events or leadership development
