SPEAKER & AUTHOR

Meeting Planners

Thank You for Considering Me for Your Event

I realize that the speaker is just one of many responsibilities you have for your event.

You have the big decision of who to bring in as a speaker to set the tone of the event or wrap it up in a meaningful way so having someone who understands the magnitude of your decision is paramount. You need a partner, not a prima donna.

My job is to make your job easier and that you made the best possible decision by bringing in the right speaker.

Things Meeting Planners Want to Know

We know it’s a big, okay, huge decision to choose the right speaker. That’s why we want to answer some of the most asked questions so you know what to expect with Bryan.

  • 1st 5 Minutes for Today’s Multi-Generational Workforce – Bridge Generations Through Better Conversations

Note: There are more options available upon request

A: Leaders, Sales Professionals, and those in Customer Experience resonate the most with the content because each one is consistently meeting new people where connecting in the 1st 5 minutes of a business conversation changes everything.

A: Bryan has already prepared content but the pre-game consultation will allow you and your team to customize the content exactly for your audience’s needs and your expectations. In the end, Bryan wants your desired outcome front and center.

A: Yes – and he brings the same amount of energy and engagement. He understands the “video call world” all too well so he creates fast-paced and variety to keep everyone not only interested but involved.

Well… Bryan is a business connector — so he definitely doesn’t disappear!  It means the relationship doesn’t end when the event does. 

He intentionally schedules a follow-up conversation to hear your perspective on how the session landed, what resonated most, what could be improved, and how he can best support you in any post-event follow-up.

That conversation is about honest feedback, alignment, and identifying meaningful ways to continue supporting you and your team moving forward.

The goal is simple: keep the conversation going and make sure you’re supported long after the event ends.

How is Bryan Different?

Relevant

This dude knows what he’s talking about and is in the trenches to learn the latest content that will be useful to your audience. Bryan is a voracious learner and instantly applies this knowledge to share immediately.

Challenging

Sales and service professionals want to get better and one of the best ways to get their attention is flat out challenge them. Bryan will get their attention in a way that makes them think and want to improve.

Experiential

Bryan teaches the way people actually learn — by seeing and doing, not just hearing. His signature props turn abstract ideas into physical, memorable moments, so the lesson doesn't end when the keynote does. It's intentional teaching design, not stagecraft.

Count On Me To Do These Top 5 Must-Do’s…

  • 1. Come Early and Stay Late

    I want to get a feel for your event so I’m comfortable to be able to relate both professionally and personally.

  • 2. Mingle and Meet as Many Participants as I Can Before and After I Speak

    I love finding out where they’re from, what they’re looking for in the event, what they’ve learned, etc.

  • 3. Connect With Your AV team

    They’re the great oz making it all work behind the scenes. I want them to feel comfortable with me, my content, and where I’ll be on stage at any point.

  • 4. Check The Mic In Every Part Of The Room

    They’re nothing worse than mic issues during a presentation and most of the time, it’s preventable. I want to take out as much user error as possible so things go smoothly.

  • 5. Check My Slides and My Props

    My presentation is interactive so having these tools working is key so having time to run through them with the AV team is critical.

Five Reasons to Book Bryan Buckley

  • High Energy

    He’s never been called boring, dull, or void of personality. People respond to energy and this is exactly what you can expect every single time.

  • Low Maintenance

    How does zero drama sound? Planning an event is stress enough so having a speaker who is easy and on your side is a beautiful thing.

    The kind-of humor that the one-liner, real in the moment comment, brings a smile to your face and an unexpected laugh in your gut. Everyone learns better when you laugh together.

  • Agile

    Things will change and pieces will need to move. Bryan can and will roll with the punches. Why do you think he stretches so much?

  • Actionable

    Audiences walk away with real-world, practical action items they can and want to apply immediately. This is more than the delivery of the content, it’s about creating lasting change with tangible next steps that create the desired behavior change.
