What makes a great keynote speech?

At Adaptive Challenge Consulting we believe there are several key elements to a great keynote.

  1. Understanding the audience - When crafting a keynote we explore who is in attendance? What are the shared cultural touchstones of the group? Finally, what intersecting identities will be present among attendees?

  2. Being real - Authenticity is the best approach, and we bring it each time. It isn’t always easy, but we work to get comfortable with discussions that are sometimes uncomfortable.

  3. Using Humor - Personality translates to audiences. Our two primary keynote speakers not only hold doctoral degrees, but has hosted a radio show and the other one was an improvisational comedian. People learn best when they’re laughing.

Dr. Mueller’s keynotes always bring authenticity, humor and inspiration. Something else that distinguishes his keynotes is the willingness to get real on topics of inclusion as he moves audiences with his own brand of honest storytelling.
