Top 5 motivational speakers in Brisbane

Whether it's a workforce, school, club, or association, people can always use an extra bit of motivation, and finding the perfect guest speaker for your next event could be the key to igniting the spark.

An effective motivational speaker is defined by their ability to adequately set the tone for an event with an impactful, insightful, stimulating and thought provoking presentation. Engaging the audience is often determined by the speakers' ability to properly connect and resonate with their audience and maintain interest with aspects such as humour, spontaneity, and storytelling.

That is why here at Pickstar we have put together a top 5 list of motivational speakers available for booking in Brisbane!

Widely regarded as one of the top moments in Australian Olympic history, Duncan Armstrong's heroic come-from-nowhere gold medal in the 200m freestyle at the Seoul 1998 Olympics will be remembered by anyone who was lucky enough to witness it.

A born and bred Queensland native, Duncan now tells the story of his amazing triumph to not only people in Brisbane but throughout the nation. The story is one of motivation and classic Australian grit and determination and is appropriate for all audiences.

Ultra Marathon runner Jacqui Bell is a true inspiration.

After dealing with a number of health issues that took an immense mental and physical toll, in 2017 Bell committed herself to running the Big Red Run - a 250km marathon in Australia's Simpson Desert. Since then, Jacqui became the youngest person in the world to run an Ultra Marathon in every continent. Jacqui is motivated to share her story to show that anyone is able to identify and achieve their goals, no matter how close they feel to rock bottom.

Brisbane Bullets superstar Jason Cadee is one of Australian basketball's biggest names. However, what makes his rise even more impressive is the adversity Jason has overcome to get where he is today. In 2010 after signing his first professional contract with the NBL team Gold Coast Blaze, Jason was involved in a serious motor accident that left him with a broken pelvis, slamming the brakes on his fledgling basketball career and raising doubt to his sporting future.

After a gritty recovery, Cadee has since then dominated the Australian basketball scene, not only in the NBL but also in Australia's national team, the Boomers. While representing his nation, Jason has won the 2017 FIBA ASIA CUP and the 2018 Commonwealth Games. His story is one of perseverance and motivation to reach where he has today after such a considerable setback.

Queensland native Sally Pearson is one of Australia's favourite and greatest ever track and field athletes. Just the 10th female Australian track athlete to win a gold medal after her triumph at the London 2012 Games, Sally has established a long list of accomplishments over her long and fruitful career. These accomplishments include multiple World Championship golds and Commonwealth golds.

However, even with all the glittering success, Sally has also overcome hardship in her illustrious career. These include traumatic injuries and form slumps that left her questioning her place in the sport. Her story is one of motivation and perseverance, and it was these qualities mixed with her outstanding achievements on the tack that saw her awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2014.
