Why Australian businesses are booking inspirational speakers in 2025
More Australian organisations are discovering the real value of booking an inspirational speaker. Beyond the buzz of the keynote, these speakers are being used to drive team engagement, energise culture and support strategic business goals.
Whether you are planning a national conference, leadership offsite or team reset session, an inspirational speaker can help set the tone, shift perspective and spark lasting momentum.
What makes an inspirational speaker so impactful?
In today’s corporate landscape, inspiration is more than a feel-good moment. It’s a practical way to re-engage teams, strengthen culture and encourage action.
Inspirational speakers typically draw on lived experience to deliver powerful messages about resilience, leadership, authenticity or change. Their stories are personal and relatable, which makes them more memorable than internal messaging or traditional business presentations.
Speakers like Sophie Delezio, who shares a powerful message around purpose and perseverance, or Elizabeth Broderick, who speaks openly on equality and inclusion, are able to connect with audiences on a deeper level. This kind of emotional engagement is what helps people shift their thinking, not just their behaviour.
Why are Australian businesses investing now?
After years of remote work and organisational change, many businesses are using live events to reconnect their people. Bringing in an inspirational speaker helps to unify teams and put purpose back at the centre.
Clients often tell us the same thing after an event – “That session changed the energy in the room.” These moments can create a ripple effect that lasts long after the session itself.
Inspirational speakers also bring external perspective. Whether it’s someone like Michael Maguire, who shares leadership lessons from elite sport, or Mel Tracina, whose energy and warmth make her a standout MC, these voices can cut through internal noise and deliver clarity during times of change.
Key benefits of hiring an inspirational speaker
- Boost engagement and morale during times of change, pressure or uncertainty

- Reinforce business values through messages that align with your purpose
- Encourage growth mindset and challenge your team to think beyond the day-to-day
