THE ADVANTAGES OF A FUNNY MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER
A keynote speaker’s value is directly proportional to his or her ability to get the audience to listen, feel and remember what is said. That’s why a really funny motivational speaker is worth far more than the traditional “talking head.” And that’s why a speaker like Billy Riggs is worth his weight in gold! As a dynamic keynote speaker, he’s second to none. Having honed his speaking skills in the pulpit as the pastor of a church that grew from 50 people to 2500 under his leadership in under 3 years he mastered the art of oratory, holding audiences spellbound with his dynamism, moving stories and passionate delivery. Add to his speaking skills the fact that he is truly funny – downright hilarious – and also a professional magician with Las Vegas-quality showmanship and you have a funny motivational speaker who is entertaining, too. That’s why corporations, associations, schools and organizations on 5 continents have made Billy Riggs their choice to open or close a convention with a bang! He commands the audience’s attention, makes them feel the message and then sears it into their memories with unforgettable illusions, comedy and stories.
When Billy Riggs appears on stage, people listen. Being riveted by world-class illusions and disarmed by the non-stop comedy, audiences are compelled to hang on every word, never knowing what might come next. Into the seams - between entertainment and humor - Billy inserts powerful points on customer service, sales, leadership, education and life balance. The audience is on a roller coaster ride from start to finish, laughing until they cry, sitting in stunned amazement, being moved to tears and taught nuts-and-bolts principles they can put to use immediately.
