How To Book A Female Motivational Speaker: Step-By-Step Guide + FAQs

The workplace can still be a challenging space for women. From the gender pay gap to discrimination and bias, many industries are still falling short when it comes to equality. One way organisations are tackling this is by inviting female motivational speakers to share their lived experiences, challenge bias, and inspire change.

Whether you’re planning a corporate conference, school talk, or awareness event, the right speaker can make a huge difference. In this guide, we break down the booking process step by step, answer FAQs, and explain why booking a female speaker could be the most empowering decision for your event.

Step 1 – Create Your Brief

Every great event starts with a strong brief. This ensures you’re clear on your goals and gives our agents the information they need to find the perfect female speaker for you. When preparing your brief, think about:

• Purpose – Do you want to inspire, educate, or drive cultural change?

• Audience – Who will be in the room (or online)? What challenges or opportunities are most relevant to them?

• Budget – Speaker fees vary depending on experience and profile. Having a range in mind allows your agent to make tailored suggestions.

• Format – Will the session be in-person, virtual, or hybrid? Will it include a keynote, workshop, panel, or Q&A?

• Logistics – Confirm your event date, location, and timescale.

Step 2 – Research Potential Speakers

Once your brief is ready, it’s time to explore your options. At The Female Motivational Speakers Agency, our directory makes this simple. Each profile features:

• A biography highlighting achievements and expertise.

• Popular speaking topics to help align with your event goals.

• Videos of past talks so you can experience their style and delivery.

When researching, consider:

• Does the speaker’s story reflect the theme of your event?

• Do they have experience speaking to audiences like yours?

• Will their approach resonate with your organisation’s culture?

Many clients also book female speakers around key dates like International Women’s Day (8th March) or Women’s History Month (March) for added impact.
