Elevating Thought Leadership — Together

The Speaker Group Motivational Keynote Speakers Bureau

You’re Not Just a Speaker. You’re a Messenger.
Let’s Make Sure Your Message Gets Heard—and You Get Hired.


The Speakers Group was not founded as a speakers bureau. And while we became known as one, we’re getting back to work we truly believe in.

We don’t manage rosters. We don’t take 25% commissions.
And we don’t believe you need to “sell harder” to get booked.

What we do believe is this:

If your message is clear, compelling, and client-ready—opportunities will come to you.

That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker looking to evolve—or a rising voice with a powerful story—our mission is to help you stand out, speak with purpose, and elevate your thought leadership.


Our Signature Offering

Stand Out and Speak: How to Become a Category of One

This is not speaker coaching.
This is your strategic foundation.

Through a 1:1 process with TSG founder and keynote speaker Shawn Ellis, you’ll walk away with:

  • A magnetic speaker identity
  • Client-facing keynote titles and messaging
  • A one-sheet, website copy, or demo script that reflects your voice
  • The confidence to pitch yourself—or let others do it for you

Introduce yourself below and let’s see if we’re a match for one another.


When Opportunities Come In, We Refer

Because The Speakers Group is still known as a place to find speakers, we receive event inquiries from planners regularly.

We don’t promise bookings—but when a request aligns with your message and style, we may send it your way through our referral network.

  • No contracts
  • No exclusivity
  • Just mutual trust and shared momentum

Who This Is For

You’re a great fit if you:

  • Have a meaningful message grounded in lived experience
  • Are actively speaking—or ready to scale your platform
  • Want to clarify your brand, story, and positioning
  • Care more about serving your audience than selling yourself

You’re not just looking to “get listed.”
You’re looking to own your voice and amplify your mission.


Ready to Elevate Your Voice?

We’re not a speakers bureau. We’re a platform for purpose-driven thought leadership.

If you’re ready to shape the message that gets you booked—and remembered—
let’s talk.
