@joshualozoff was speaking in KC last week and Lyndy got to catch up with him over coffee and hear about all the exciting work he is doing these days.

His interactive “Magic of Communication” keynote is sure to bring inspiration, entertainment, and tips on communication. 

Message us to learn more!!
We loved getting to catch up with our long-time friend @bill.benjamin yesterday... We go way back with Bill and his business partner, @jppawliwfry

Bill is a top emotional intelligence keynote speaker, leadership thought & culture expert, and contributor to the New York Times bestseller, Performing Under Pressure. 

Bill speaks to the concept of the Last 8%... people do well in the first 92% of what they want to say in a difficult conversation, or the first 92% of important decisions they face. But as things get progressively more difficult, emotions start to take priority and begin to drive behavior. 

These emotions, such as fear and anxiety, cause people to become avoidant. Teams start procrastinating, ducking critical conversations, and sidestepping important decisions. Bill terms these situations the Last 8% and have come to find that individuals and teams that can skillfully face these difficult situations outperform those that don’t. It is the difference between a good team and a great team

We would love to share information about his Last 8% Culture System. Ask us for more information!
SEA is “UNSTOPPABLE” with Alex Weber lately! Deia was the lucky one who got to spend some time catching up with him last month... 

Alex Weber is an International Keynote Speaker on Leadership and Peak Performance, a competitor on American Ninja Warrior, and an Award-Winning Entertainer for NBC, and most importantly one of the nicest humans and easiest speakers to work with. 😊
Some events are just good for your soul. ♥ On this night, our hearts were full. 

Thank you to our good friend and speaker, @fundamismpaul for inviting us to Volley Llama (an event he co-founded). We had a ball! #volleyllama is an extraordinary community event that builds a legacy of hope to the children who rely on the specialized care and research @childrensmercy provides. 

Love our local community. Lots of big smiles and fun was had!
We had a great time getting to spend some time with "America's Personal Development Coach" @brantmenswar last month! We were introduced to Brant by @jimknightspeaker (another amazing speaker) all the way back in 2016. We were honored when they highlighted us in their article Top 13 Speaker Bureaus/Agents of '21 (check it out on our LinkedIn)... so awesome! 🤗

We would love to chat with you about how Brant's transformational message of taking your "Black Sheep" core values and using them to take control of your life, make better decisions, fulfill your purpose, and positively influence those around you can be the perfect fit for your next event.
It's officially the last week of Hispanic Heritage Month and we cannot let the month end without highlighting one of our favorite Latinas, Gaby Natale!

@gabynatale is a 3-time Daytime EMMY® winner, media personality, bestselling author and motivational speaker. Gaby became the first Latina author to be published by HarperCollins Leadership and the first Latina to win 3 consecutive Daytime EMMYs. People magazine included Gaby in their “25 Most Powerful Latinas” for her outstanding achievements. In 2022, Natale was the featured speaker for JP Morgan Chase Global Leadership Summit and the closing keynote speaker for IASB, among other events.

Can we just tell how thankful we are to go waay back with @frontrowmarilyn ?!??

She is a great friend, beautiful person inside and out and an incredibly talented speaker. It was great to have her here in KC to deliver her outstanding keynote, Front-Row Leadership; How to Top Performers Never Settle for Balcony Seats.” After she spoke, attendees lined up to give her a hug, get a signed copy of her book and share stories. There were lots of laughs and love all around. ❤️❤️❤️
We found our Unicorn! In a marketplace crowded with high dollar speakers, @eriktherwanger is a hidden gem! His fee is awesome and he will go above and beyond for your event.

As the founder of ThinkGREAT, he draws from his experiences as a U.S. Marine, executive business leader, sales professional, and entrepreneur to help organizations to achieve greater levels of success. He combines leadership development, team building, sales training, and goal-setting (Oh My!) into strategies and techniques that empower employees, sales teams, leaders, and business owners to exceed expectations. 

Contact us now to learn more about Erik... you won't regret it!!
Well, that was fun! @shawnasuckow and @heymimibrown stopped by to visit us on their way to the lake for a girls weekend! We laughed and caught up all morning!

Deia had the pleasure this week of getting to spend time with the amazing @iamweshamilton and see him in action!

Wes Hamilton is the founder of Disabled but Not Really. On Jan. 9, 2012, everything changed when Hamilton was shot in the abdomen and paralyzed from the waist down. The years following the shooting not only saw Hamilton work through his journey of physical rehabilitation, but also a mental transformation that led him to start his own foundation. 

Message us to learn more about how Wes' story and his message could be the perfect fit for your next event!

Thank you @marvellessmark and Jana for coming to visit us yesterday! 

Great to get our Rock Star SEA band together to kick the week off. 

Marvelless Mark delivers high-energy, interactive experiences for ultimate team alignment. His approach may seem wild and spontaneous, it has a purpose to foster unity, boost energy and drive teams toward unreasonable dreams. To learn more about Mark and how he can inspire your attendees, please reach out for more information.
Check us out!! We were honored to be featured in @voyagekcmag “Kansas City's Most Inspiring Stories", and share how our dream of owning a successful business in the world of keynote speakers and getting to have a life with our families outside of work became a reality! LINK IN BIO!
According to a quick Google search, the definition of failure is the lack of success, and the definition of success is the accomplishment of an aim or a purpose. 

When Julie Homsey and I came up with the idea to create motivational post it notes our goal was to spread love and joy easily and daily. We especially wanted our children and other people’s children to feel that love and support every day. Through our daily work of booking motivational speakers to corporate events at our company, The Speaker Exchange Agency, we are blessed to see so many lives changed, and wanted to expand that to our everyday lives. We launched Write Post Love (motivational post its) full of fire and passion to accomplish that purpose.

As the pandemic becomes smaller in the rearview mirror and the demands on our time have increased at The Speaker Exchange Agency, we have found our time limited to devote to this passion project. As we started to wind down the business side of WPL we had many conversations about this endeavor. Was this a failure? A waste of money? Time? Looking back to what success is - our purpose was to change the world on a daily basis and we feel like WPL did that. 

What would make this a failure would be for us to keep the rest of our WPL products in our closets collecting dust. We still have so many post-its that need a door, mirror, teacher’s desk, hospital bed, lunch box etc to call home. We would love to gift the rest of our WPL inventory to those who feel they can use these post its to make the world a better place. Gifting them to those who can use them will fully ensure WPL was not a failure but a success because we will have accomplished our purpose. 

If you are interested, please email us: info@speakerexchangeagency.com Thanks to everyone who supported us in this journey, we will we will forever be grateful! With Love, Brittanny and Julie

WBENC’s national standard of certification is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection.

By including women-owned businesses among their vendors, corporations, and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier/vendor diversity programs

As ambitious professionals in a hybrid world, we need to share our wins to be viewed as competent at work, but the world has convinced us that bragging is bad. But is ALL bragging bad?

Henna Pryor, MSA, PCC new Tedx Talk tackles the question of is there such a thing as "Good Bragging?"
We couldn't agree more! We just love Jeff Civillico, CSP and know you will too...

Connect with us at The Speaker Exchange Agency, LLC to book Jeff for your next event!
