Our Services
We understand your issues:
MinnesotaSpeakers.com understands that meeting professionals are expected to have the same great programs they have always had, with less budget. That’s why we want to remind you that there is no reason to look outside of Minnesota to find the perfect speaker for your event. No reason to pay travel and hotel expenses bringing someone in from another state. We have experts right here.
Your Speaker Search:
MinnesotaSpeakers.com can assist you in your search for a speaker, trainer, facilitator, or mediator in two ways.
Planners can visit this web site and can search on their own for speakers by name, topic, or fee range.
Meeting professionals can choose to contact us and speak directly to a MinnesotaSpeakers.com staff member. We will interview you, asking a variety of questions regarding your event. We will take the time to ensure that we fully understand your program needs and goals. We will then offer suggestions and will provide you with the information (packets, testimonials, videos) you need in order to make your speaker/trainer decision. We can also get you in touch with the speaker directly if you would like.
Our memberships:
We are a member of, and are very involved, in the National Speakers Association. The speakers we represent are not just people we have read about or talked to on the telephone. We attend meetings of the NSA- Minnesota Chapter and know our
Minnesota speakers on a personal basis. We have been to many of their events and therefore can tell you not only their program information, but also how their audiences respond to them, as we’ve seen it first hand
in many cases.
We represent speakers who have received the CSP designation and the CPAE award.
CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) The Certified Speaking Professional designation, established in 1980 by the National Speakers Association (NSA), is the speaking profession’s international measure of professional platform skill. The letters CSP following a speaker’s name indicate a speaking professional with proven experience, who understands what is required and knows how to deliver client satisfaction. Of the over 4000 members of NSA there are only 447 who have received this designation. MinnesotaSpeakers.com represents
nine speakers with this designation: Christine K. Clifford, CSP; Roxanne Emmerich, CSP; Michael McKinley, CSP, CPAE,
Jim Pancero, CSP,
CPAE; Mark Scharenbroich,CSP,
CPAE;
Dr. Lyman K. Steil, CSP,

Desi Williamson, CSP,

CPAE (Council of Peers Award for Excellence) In Feb.1977, the National Speakers Association (NSA) established the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame to honor professional speakers who have reached the top echelon of platform excellence. Admission into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame is a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism. Inductees are evaluated by their peers through a rigorous and demanding process. Each candidate must excel in seven categories: material, style, experience, delivery, image, professionalism and communication. Only 102 members of NSA have been honored with this award. MinnesotaSpeakers.com represents
seven speakers who have this award: Michael McKinley, CSP, CPAE,
Jim Pancero, CSP,

Rave Reviews
Holly,
From our first contact, you offered knowledgable advice with enthusiasm and professional style. I was very impressed with your prompt follow through and the way you follow-up. You listened to my needs and offered excellent speaker possibilities to accommodate my audience and budget. I feel like the success of my event is as important to you as it is to me. You have a "can do" attitude and an obvious dedication to your clients.
The very best of luck!
