Why event planners are turning to Shawn Ellis to open or close their 2026 Sales Kickoff Meetings
As leaders plan their 2026 Sales Kickoff Meetings, one theme is emerging everywhere: adaptability.
Sales teams are facing AI disruption, evolving buyer expectations, and relentless change — and the ability to adapt quickly has become the ultimate competitive advantage.
That’s why organizations across the country are turning to Shawn Ellis, founder of The Speakers Group and creator of Radical Adaptability and the Choose Your Ending™ Method, to energize and equip their teams for the year ahead.
In just 15 weeks, Shawn has delivered 10 transformative keynotes for audiences ranging from Lockheed Martin and Unum to Hunt Brothers Pizza and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association — each one proving that his message isn’t just landing; it’s changing the way people think about change.
Exciting and invigorating.
Super applicable and practical.
I received real clarity on how to let go, level up, and lead what’s next.
You made it feel like I wasn’t at work listening to a presentation.
Event organizers describe his keynotes as “reset moments” that blend the spark of inspiration with the substance of real behavioral change.
Through his 5 C’s of Radical Adaptability™ — Calm, Clarity, Courage, Confidence, and Community — Shawn helps sales professionals:
- Let go of what no longer works.
- Reconnect to purpose before performance.
- Build the flexibility and courage to win in uncertain markets.
In a world where every quarter brings new challenges, Radical Adaptability and Choose Your Ending™ give sales organizations the mindset and tools to stay energized, aligned, and ready to perform.
Shawn is already booked for several conferences and conventions into late 2026, but limited openings remain for Q1 national and regional meetings.
