Katya Adler has spent over two decades reporting on the events reshaping Europe and the world, making her one of the BBC's most recognised voices on global affairs. Katya serves as the BBC's European Editor and hosts the BBC's daily current affairs podcast Global Story.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.
