Maggie spoke at our staff engagement day; to hear her talk about overcoming adversity and aiming for the best in life was incredibly motivational. It was just what we needed to energise us before we embarked on an afternoon of delivering community projects - she is truly inspirational.

Wow! You have left quite a mark on our school. Since your visit with us, your words and you as an individual have become embedded within our narrative and essence. I do not think that it would be unreasonable or too over-dramatic to say that you have been one of the most powerful things to have happened to our school in the 4 years that I have been here, and for that, we are all enormously grateful.

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.
