The Orator
Leading Authorities' round up of thought leadership, trends, and personalities on the speaking circuit
On Our Blog
Kevin “Kal” Kallaugher is the editorial cartoonist for The Economist. We recently recorded an episode of our podcast “Speaking Of” with him, where we chatted about everything from the role cartoons play in shaping public opinion to how his cartoon ideas are born. Listen to our interview with one of our most popular interactive speakers.
What's Next
Did you hear about the Leading Authorities Speaker Showcase Event in London on 2 May? An excellent opportunity to meet and hear from four top speakers, this quick breakfast event will feature BBC former Europe editor Gavin Hewitt, innovation and leadership expert Nick Seneca Jankel, former head of online marketing for Virgin Group Alex Hunter, and “people hacker” Jenny Radcliffe. Email me if you’d like me to save you a seat or RSVP now.
Travel Updates
We know the travel costs can sometimes be a barrier to hiring US-based speakers. One thing I always try to do is keep you aware of opportunities to book US speakers travelling to Europe. These experts will be heading here soon and accepting engagements at reduced fees:
Former MetricStream CEO Shellye Archambeau will be in Europe in May and September
Former Trader Joe’s CEO Doug Rauch will be in Europe in May
World-famous co-pilot of the “Miracle on the Hudson” Jeff Skiles will be in Europe in May
