The Myth of Celebrity Speakers

Just because someone’s a star athlete or a famous face doesn’t mean they’re a great speaker.

I’ve seen many celebrities step onto the stage, expecting their fame to carry them.

But effective speaking requires more than just a big name it demands storytelling, audience connection, and the ability to inspire.

The truth is, being a great footballer doesn’t translate to being a great speaker.

So, when hiring a speaker, look beyond the fame.

Look for skill. Look for heart.

The love and care for an audience is what we need to see more of.
