SpeakerSavvy | Bronwyn Hesketh | Speaker Coach

SpeakerSavvy was written with both the aspiring and established speaker in mind. It’s a comprehensive, down-to-earth guide on starting or taking your speaking business to the next level.

You have a powerful message to share with audiences and a burning passion to jump up on stage and do just that.

But where and how do you start? And then: how do you get an agent?

In her light-hearted, pull-no-punches style, bureau owner Bronwyn Hesketh tells it like it is. Bound to ruffle a few feathers, the book is designed to help speakers avoid the pitfalls of the speaking industry while giving them solid advice on what she has seen work (and NOT work) over her 20 years in the industry.

If you are keen to shave a few years off your learning curve as a Professional Speaker, this is the book for you.

Bronwyn Hesketh is the  first South African Bureau-owner to belong to the International Association of Speaker Bureaus, represented in twelve countries across the globe by its 109 members.

In line with her vision of helping to create and maintain an industry that is honourable, ethical and professional, Bronwyn also sat on the committee of the Northern Territories branch of SAACI (the South African Association for the Conference Industry).

She has spent all of her career as owner of Speakers Inc pro-actively, aggressively, passionately and creatively marketing speakers she believes in, steadfastly building her business on the four pillars of Honesty, Integrity, Loyalty and Trust.

She considers herself very blessed to work with people who inspire and motivate her on a daily basis, and to be in the position of facilitating the healing and empowerment of those audience members who need it, by those speakers who can do just that.

2015 saw Bronwyn nominated for the Regional Business Achiever’s Award by the Businesswoman’s Association in the Entrepreneur category, in which she was a finalist; she rekindled her affiliation with the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa, sitting on their board in Cape Town; incorporated a branch of Speakers Inc in California, USA and became the official City Organiser for PechaKucha Nights in Johannesburg.

2022 Bronwyn is now established from San Diego in California and has moved the head office of Speakers Inc and SpeakerSavvy where she runs workshops for aspiring and existing speakers on how to work with an agency and marketing
