Why your Audience Feels More Motivated after a Guest Keynote Speaker Presentation
What is it about a keynote guest speaker that makes them so much more effective than having the CEO or the same presenters lead the company meeting or conference? It turns out there’s some science behind it– studies have shown that when our brains are faced with something new, we release dopamine, which makes us eager to search for reward.
According to Buffer, “It’s been thought before that novelty was a reward in itself, but, like dopamine, it seems to be more related to motivation.”
This means your audience is much more likely to become motivated, and act on that motivation, when faced with a novel experience like learning from a new keynote guest speaker.
With a guest keynote speaker, your team gets to experience a new face, fresh ideas, and novel concepts. BigSpeak Speakers Bureau keynote guest speakers specialize in all kinds of topics, from creativity and habit formation to marketing, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship.
