Booking guide
How to choose and book a team building speaker
What team building speakers bring to your event
A team building keynote gives a group a shared language for trust, communication and performance. The best speakers bring stories of teams under pressure and give attendees something they can do together.
Rich Diviney, a retired Navy SEAL commander, Greg Wooldridge, three-time commanding officer of the Blue Angels, John “Gucci” Foley and Jack Becker speak about teamwork at high stakes. Erica Dhawan and Jon Levy cover collaboration and connection, while Marc Priestley, a Formula One mechanic, shows pit-lane teamwork. For something interactive, David Kwong brings magic and The Colin & Brad Show brings improv comedy.
How to choose the right team building speaker
Start with the team behavior you want to change, then narrow the list with four questions:
- Style. Story-driven keynotes, interactive shows and workshops build teams in different ways. Pick the style that fits your group.
- Message. Trust, communication, collaboration and performance under pressure are different talks. Choose the one you need.
- Audience and format. Leadership offsites, sales kickoffs and all-hands meetings call for different tones. Many speakers also offer workshops and breakouts.
- Budget and logistics. Compare the fee ranges and travel locations on each card, and check whether a virtual keynote fits your event.

Published fees on this page are mostly between about $35,000 and $75,000. The fee depends on demand, your date, the event location and whether the keynote is in person or virtual.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as possible. In-demand speakers commit to dates months ahead, and booking early gives you more choice and more time for travel planning and a prep call.
Can these speakers present virtually?
Many can. Use the In Person or Virtual filter to see who offers virtual keynotes, and check the profile for the virtual fee, which is often lower than the in-person fee.
Can a team building speaker run an interactive session?
Many can, from workshops and breakouts to live shows. Ask about the format when you check availability.
What is the difference between a team building speaker and a leadership speaker?
Team building speakers focus on how a group works together. Leadership speakers focus on how individual leaders guide people. Many speakers cover both.
