Elevating Thought Leadership Since 2004

The Speakers Group is a Thought Leadership Studio by Shawn Ellis—dedicated to helping messages that matter rise above the noise.


A Legacy of Elevating Voices

Since 2004, The Speakers Group has helped event planners find and book world-class keynote speakers—from best-selling authors to CEO whisperers.

Behind it all is Shawn Ellis, a former speakers bureau agent turned founder, strategist, and speaker.

But after more than two decades of helping others share their message—while quietly sharing his own—Shawn made a decision:

“It’s time to focus fully on the message I’m here to deliver… and help others do the same.”

That meant ending the full-service bureau model—but not the mission.

Today, The Speakers Group exists to elevate thought leadership through powerful keynotes, strategic coaching, and trusted speaker referrals—led by someone who’s lived both behind the scenes and on the stage.


What We Do Now

We believe thought leadership is more than content and charisma. It’s clarity with courage—the kind that inspires action, changes lives, and moves organizations forward.

At TSG, we help make that happen by offering:

  • Keynotes for organizations navigating change

  • Coaching & strategy for emerging and evolving speakers

  • Curated referrals for event planners who want real impact without the noise

Whether we’re crafting messages, curating voices, or taking the stage ourselves, everything we do is rooted in one belief:

Your next chapter begins with a message that moves people.
