What's included in a booking
A preliminary conversation, in which I listen instead of presenting.
Several hours of research into your industry, your reports, your topics.
A keynote that exists only once – built for your audience.
45 to 90 minutes on stage, with participation instead of a one-way lecture.
On request, handouts and follow-up material for your managers.
One point of contact: me. No agency involved.
This is how a booking works
First: you write to me. You can contact me via the form, by email at anfrage@speaker-keynote.de, or directly by phone. You will receive a response within 24 hours – even if I decline.
Second: 15 minutes on the phone. Free of charge and without obligation. In this call, we'll clarify what your event is really about and whether I'm the right person for it.
Third: offer and commitment. You will receive a quote including fees, travel expenses, and scope of services. No hidden costs will appear later.
Fourth: preparation. I'll speak with two or three managers from your company and familiarise myself with the topic. These conversations will determine whether the presentation is specific or remains general.
You will have a single point of contact throughout the entire process. There is no agency between you and me.
Four steps, one point of contact, no agency.
How much a keynote costs
Between €5,000 and €9,000, depending on duration, preparation effort, and travel arrangements. Travel expenses are added based on actual costs and are included in the offer.
I state the price range openly because I know how things work in companies: you have to justify a budget internally before you're even allowed to request a quote. A website that doesn't disclose its price will cost you a week.
Incidentally, what determines the price is rarely the time spent on stage. It is the effort beforehand – discussions, research and adapting the presentation to your audience.
What determines the price is rarely the stage time. It's the preparation.
What I need for preparation
The more precise the briefing, the less general the presentation. Five things are enough for me:
- Occasion and setting – leadership conference, kick-off, strategy day? How many people, which level?
- What happens before and after – I don't want to criticise the lunch or the CFO's presentation of the figures.
- The question that's currently on the minds of your managers – even if it's uncomfortable. Especially then.
- Two or three contacts from your company, 20 minutes per call.
- What you absolutely don't want to hear – that saves us both time.
What I don't need: a finished concept from you. That's my part.
For the preparation, I don't need a finished concept – I need the question your leaders are currently grappling with.
Formats, duration and language
45 to 60 minutes is the norm. On request, 90 minutes with audience participation or a half-day workshop for the leadership team afterwards.
About a third of my keynotes are in English – including for Siemens in Japan, for international teams at Kuraray and at events in Dubai and Singapore.
Typical occasions: Leadership conferences, strategy and annual kick-off events, management conferences, specialist conferences and change processes following mergers or reorganisations.
German or English, 45 minutes or half a day – the format follows the occasion.
Also digital and hybrid
Not every event takes place in a conference hall. Online, I give keynotes in the same structure – only shorter, because attention works differently on a screen.
When I decline
Not every request ends with a confirmation, and that's not a bad sign. I'll decline if I'm not the right person.
- If the topic isn't mine. I speak about leadership, responsibility, decisions, change and AI in everyday leadership. Not about sales techniques, not about motivation as an end in itself.
- If the lecture is only meant to be one item on the programme. If nobody in the company has an interest in things changing afterwards, the money is better invested elsewhere.
- If the expectations cannot be met in 45 minutes. A keynote can set a direction. It does not replace organisational development.
In these cases, I will tell you this in the preliminary conversation – and usually who might be a good alternative.
“The presentation was simply authentic, very clear and impressive.” – Maria Serova, Event Manager, Siemens
Answers to your most frequently asked questions:
What does a keynote with you cost?
A keynote with me costs between €5,000 and €9,000, depending on duration, preparation and travel. After a short call, you receive an individual quote – transparent and without hidden costs.
How long is a keynote?
Typically 45–60 minutes. On request, also as a 90-minute session with interactive elements or as a half-day workshop for greater depth.
Do you also speak in English?
Yes, I give about a third of my keynotes in English – among others for Siemens in Japan, for international teams at Kuraray and at events in Dubai and Singapore.
How do you prepare for my event?
I talk to your team in advance, analyse your industry and develop content that is a perfect fit for your audience. Every keynote is unique.
Can we talk before I book?
Of course. A 15-minute introductory call is free of charge and without obligation. It lets us clarify whether my topic fits your event.
