Media — Dr. Bridget Cooper

What three speaker qualities are MUST HAVES for your event to shine?

Engaging, energetic, & relatable: Your attendees have too much to do already and need to feel involved and connected! In turn, this creates buzz long after the event is over because you didn’t waste their time, delivering a strong ROI on their precious time. BONUS: They have a process to stay connected to your attendees, extending the learning and motivation journey!
Informative: When a speaker nails number one but leaves them without actionable takeaways, they’ve failed you. BONUS: They have a quality book for your attendees that guarantees they positively remember your event for years to come!
Easy to work with: Pulling off an event is hard work; your speaker has to responsive, respectful, flexible, and most of all, make you look good for the decision to choose them! BONUS: They offer more services than just a talk (coaching, retreats, consulting, seminars) which means you have someone experienced with your group to work with long term.
