Together with respected speaking business coach, Yolanda Harris, you will roll up your sleeves, crack the code to your speaking business and create an exciting roadmap that will get you on stages and impacting the lives of your audiences.

You thrive on ideas, and you have so much to share with the world. But how do you get from ideas to actually standing on stages affecting others and building a highly profitable business?

It’s difficult to do it on your own. That’s why working with a 20 year industry leader can help you create the perfect, personalized plan of action to get you there faster and easier. At the end of the day you’ll know have identified your ideal audience, create the framework for three of your winning talks, and how to profit after the talk is over.

You Have The Expertise.

We Have The Plan.

For the past 18 years The Keynote Group have worked with top entrepreneurs, CEOs, and speakers helping them start and grow their speaking business. Clients have included c-suite executives, golf pros, attorneys, and even commanders in the Swedish military.

They all share two things in common…

They were eager to get their message out to the world and hungry to build a professional speaking business.

But they didn’t know how to get there. It was only after spending a full strategy day with Yolanda and her team that they not only walked away with a clear plan, but they were streateded to see a vision for themselves much bigger than when they started their strategy day.
