A PERSONAL NOTE ON THE POWER OF GIVING

“My wife Trish and I throw a themed Holiday Party for our neighborhood every December. We’ve had various themes, from a costumed murder mystery to a holiday wrapped wine judging contest. And we always get notes of thanks.
This year, we decided to throw a donation party to benefit Toys for Tots. Every guest had to purchase a toy for $20 to donate, wrap it, and bring it to the party with three written clues about the toy inside.
One at a time, guests got up in front of the group with their wrapped gift and read their three clues about the toy for the group to guess! We had small prizes for best wrapped gift and best, worst, and funniest guesses! Everyone had a blast.
The next day, we got texts or emails from every single guest telling us how fun and heart-warming it was to attend a party that donated gifts. And they’d love to have us throw a party like that every year.”
— Scott Flynn, Founder & CEO, Best Corporate Events

What is a Keynote Speaker?

Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
