The Smart Event Planner’s Guide to Hiring the Right Speaker

Hiring a Speaker Shouldn’t Feel Like a Gamble! 
You’ve probably seen what happens when a speaker flops. Flat energy, zero engagement, and a room full of people staring at their phones. That won’t happen here.
This page tells you exactly what you need to know to book a speaker who commands the room, drives action, and makes you look like a genius for hiring them.

Here’s What You Need to Know…
A great speaker doesn’t just fill time—they own the stage, engage the audience, and leave a lasting impact. Most speakers deliver a talk. I create an experience.
I don’t just “share insights” or “deliver messages.” I shift perspectives, drive action, and create moments people remember.
Your event’s success hinges on audience engagement—and I don’t leave that to chance.
That’s why top event planners don’t just book me once—they bring me back, again and again.

If you want a speaker who guarantees results, let’s talk.

"I’ve hired dozens of speakers, and most? Instantly forgettable. Ernesto? He’s the one the audience never forgets.

Every time I book him, my audience raves, and I look like a genius for bringing him in. If you’re even considering booking him, stop hesitating. Do it. You’ll thank me later."

Event Planners

  • Where are you based?

    My official base is Houston, Texas, but my work takes me across the globe. I regularly speak in Europe, the Middle East, India, Canada, Mexico, and Australia—wherever audiences are ready for impact.
  • What is your speaking fee?

    That’s a tough question to answer with a set number—because no two events are the same.

    I speak in different markets, with different economies, and offer a range of services—each with its own pricing structure.

    So instead of asking, “What’s your fee?” a better question is:
    Are Your Speaking Fees Negotiable?

    Absolutely.

    I’ve spoken at events where my fee was $15K and others where it was $5K. Why such a big difference? Because pricing depends on several key factors, including:

    -Audience size & event scope
    -Expectations & deliverables (keynote, breakouts, follow-ups)
    -Event date, location & logistics
    -Sponsorship opportunities
    -Whether I’m the only speaker
    -If the audience is paying to attend

    Here’s What You Need to Know:

    ✔ I always think win-win.
    ✔ My fee is always lower than the value I deliver.
    ✔ I consider market conditions and event budgets.
    ✔ There are creative ways to reach a fair agreement.

    Instead of guessing, let’s talk. Tell me about your event, and I’ll work with you to find a fair and flexible fee that makes sense for both of us.

    Let’s jump on a quick call. +1 (713) 591-2251
  • Do you speak 'pro bono' (for free)?

    The answer is YES and NO.
    I don’t speak for free, but I also understand that not every event has a speaker budget.
    Rarely do I accept "exposure" as currency—but ACCESSThat’s valuable.
    If you’re asking me to waive my fee, let’s talk about what you can offer in return. 
    Some creative alternatives include:✔ High-value introductions to key people✔ Travel, accommodations, and destination speaking opportunities✔ Trade booth space or promotional visibility✔ Sponsorship collaborations
    There are many creative ways to make this work without a direct speaker’s fee. I’ve worked in countries where barter and trade are common currency, and I’m always open to fair, win-win solutions.
    If you think we can create mutual value, let’s have a conversation.
  • What's your travel expenses policy?

    I’m flexible and easy to work with when it comes to travel. 
    While I typically fly economy, an upgrade is always appreciated.
    As an experienced traveler, I often find creative ways to reduce travel costs, and in some cases, I may be able to get to your destination without it impacting your budget at all.
    Let’s discuss the best way to make this work efficiently and fairly for both of us. +1 (713) 591-2251
  • Do you require a deposit to hold a date?

    To secure your date, I do request a small, non-refundable deposit—this simply ensures that your event is locked into my calendar.
    We can discuss the exact amount when we connect, and if anything changes, your deposit can be applied toward a rescheduled date.
    I want this to be a smooth, stress-free process for both of us, and this small step helps keep everything organized and fair.
    Looking forward to working together!
  •  What can we expect of you as a speaker?

    GREAT QUESTION!

    I know how critical your event is—there are no do-overs. That’s why when you hire me, you’re getting more than just a speaker. You’re getting a partner in making your event unforgettable. Here’s what you can expect:

    Zero drama, 100% professionalism. I’m easy to work with, responsive, and always prepared.

    High-impact presentations. Thought-provoking, motivating, and fun—designed to engage and inspire.

    Tailored content. No cookie-cutter speeches—I customize everything to fit your audience and objectives.

    I make YOU look like a genius. Event planners hire me because I deliver, making them look great in the process.

    Your audience will rave. I create powerful, memorable experiences that stick long after the event is over.

    Total flexibility. Last-minute changes? No problem. I adapt on the fly and keep things smooth.

    Ethics and professionalism. I operate with integrity, respect, and a commitment to excellence.

    More than just a keynote. Need a workshop, panel moderation, or breakout session? Done.

    Crisp, eloquent delivery. I command the stage and keep your audience fully engaged.

    A worry-free experience. I understand the events industry and will give you zero reasons to stress.

    Now, let me ask YOU something…

    What other speaker do you know who can GUARANTEE all of this?

    Let’s talk—because your event deserves the best.
  • How do you handle last-minute surprises?

    I ALWAYS plan for the unexpected—so you don’t have to stress.

    Events are dynamic, and last-minute changes are part of the game. That’s why I operate with a flexible, solutions-first mindset.

    ✅ Speaker Backup Plan: If schedules shift, I adjust. Need me to extend, shorten, or pivot my talk last minute? No problem. I can seamlessly adapt on the fly.
    ✅ Flight & Travel Preparedness: I always arrive early for major events to avoid last-minute disruptions. No speaker should ever be ‘in transit’ when they should be on stage.
    ✅ Tech Fail-Proofing: No slides? No problem. If the AV system crashes, I keep the audience fully engaged with high-energy, interactive delivery.
    ✅ Cancellation Policy: If your event is postponed or rescheduled, I prioritize re-booking at a mutually convenient date. If cancellation is unavoidable, I work with you to find the best possible solution.

    At the end of the day, my goal is your event’s success—no matter what challenges come up. If you need someone who can handle last-minute changes without breaking a sweat, I’m your guy."
  • What Event Types Do You Specialize In?

  • Can you help us increase attendance?

    While my primary role is delivering a game-changing experience on stage, I also understand that a packed room makes for a successful event. If I’m speaking at your event, I’m happy to contribute to its visibility in a meaningful way.

    Here’s how I can help increase buzz and drive attendance:

    Pre-Event Promotional Video – I can record a short, high-energy video personally inviting attendees, highlighting why they should attend and what they’ll gain.

    Social Media Promotion – Depending on the event type and audience fit, I can share details with my network to generate interest. (If I do this, I make sure it aligns with my brand and audience.)

    Email Endorsement (Selective) – If your event aligns with my audience’s interests, I can include it in my email outreach as part of my engagement strategy.

    Collaborative Content – Need a pre-event interview, podcast appearance, or blog post? I can provide insightful content to help position the event as a must-attend experience.

    On-Site Engagement Strategy – During the event, I ensure maximum engagement by interacting with attendees before and after my session, helping build word-of-mouth excitement for the rest of the event.

    However, I am selective about event promotion. My audience is built on trust, so I only promote events that align with my brand, values, and expertise.
  • What’s your process for preparing for an event?

    "I don’t just show up—I engineer a high-impact experience tailored to your audience’s needs. 
    My preparation process ensures that my talk isn’t just engaging but also strategically aligned with your event goals."
    Here’s my step-by-step process for delivering a flawless event:1️⃣ Pre-Event Deep Dive – Understanding Your Audience & Goals
    ✅ Discovery Call: I connect with your team to understand the event theme, audience demographics, and key takeaways you want to deliver.✅ Industry & Company Research: I analyze your industry trends, company culture, and key challenges to ensure my content feels custom-made for your audience.✅ Customization Strategy: I refine my speech with case studies, relevant examples, and real-world applications that will resonate with your attendees.
    2️⃣ Content Precision – Crafting an Unforgettable Presentation

    3️⃣ Event Execution – Ensuring a Smooth & High-Energy Delivery
    ✅ Technical Rehearsal: I coordinate with your AV team to ensure slides, microphones, and lighting are 100% dialed in.✅ Early Arrival & On-Site Prep: I arrive early, meet with organizers, and immerse myself in the event atmosphere to ensure I align with the energy of the room.✅ Engagement Before & After: I interact with attendees before and after my talk to ensure my message has real-world impact.
    4️⃣ Post-Event Impact – Keeping the Momentum Alive
    ✅ Q&A & Follow-Up Sessions: If requested, I offer additional Q&A, panel discussions, or post-event training to reinforce takeaways.✅ Resources & Continued Learning: I can provide custom takeaway materials, workbooks, or exclusive AI-powered learning tools to ensure long-term value.✅ Feedback Review: I debrief with your team to discuss audience reception and ensure maximum ROI from the session.
  • Do you provide additional resources or materials after the event?

    Absolutely. My goal isn’t just to inspire audiences for an hour—it’s to provide them with the tools they need to create lasting impact
    That’s why I offer a range of additional resources, including my books and audiobooks, to reinforce key concepts long after the event ends.
    📌 1️Books & Audiobooks – Deeper Learning for Long-Term Impact
    ✅ 📖 My Books: Attendees can get a copy of my latest books, including Supernatural Leadership, The AI Whisperer’s Code, and AI-Powered Productivity, covering cutting-edge strategies in influence, leadership, and AI-driven success.✅ 🎧 Audiobook Editions: Perfect for busy professionals, my audiobooks allow attendees to absorb key lessons on the go.✅ 📚 Bulk Book Packages: For organizations that want to provide every attendee with a powerful takeaway, I offer discounted bulk book orders as part of event engagements.

  • What is your policy on promoting your own products or services during the presentation? 

    "I treat every stage I step on like sacred ground—my job is to serve, not sell."
    I know event planners invest tremendous time, effort, and trust into curating an exceptional experience. That’s why I have a simple rule: deliver so much value that the audience asks where they can get more—without me ever needing to ask.
    I focus on creating “aha!” moments that spark real transformation. And here’s the magic—when people experience that kind of impact, they naturally want to stay connected beyond the event.
    Now, if you’d like me to offer optional resources (books, tools, deeper training) that reinforce the message, I’m happy to—but only if it aligns with your vision and enhances the experience. 
    No sales tactics. No pitches. Just pure value.
    At the end of the day, my goal is simple: To leave your audience talking about the impact long after the event—not about what I was selling. 
    Would you like me to craft a special takeaway for your audience to make the experience even more memorable?
  • Are you comfortable with various audience sizes and demographics? 

    “Whether I’m speaking to a boardroom of five or a stadium of ten thousand, my mission is the same: every person in that audience should feel like I’m speaking directly to them.”
    I’ve delivered transformative experiences for groups ranging from intimate executive retreats to massive global conferences. The size of the audience doesn’t change my ability to connect—what changes is the way I craft the experience.
    ✅ For smaller, high-stakes groups: I bring a conversational, highly interactive approach that sparks deep discussions, ensuring every person feels engaged and valued.
    ✅ For large-scale audiences: I use high-energy delivery, immersive storytelling, and dynamic crowd engagement techniques to turn even the biggest venues into intimate, unforgettable experiences.
    The real skill isn’t just in adjusting for audience size—it’s in understanding the psychology of the room and delivering an experience that feels tailor-made, no matter how many people are in it.
    So, whether your event is an exclusive leadership summit or a full-scale convention, you can expect precision, energy, and impact—because connection isn’t about numbers, it’s about mastery.
    Let’s talk about how I can make your audience—no matter the size—feel like they’re in the front row.

  • How do you ensure your content remains current and relevant? 

    "I don’t just stay current—I redefine what ‘current’ even means."
    Most speakers keep up with trends. I build the trends that others follow.
    Here’s how:
    I Have a ‘Future-Proofing System’ – Every month, I run a deep-dive analysis on global shifts in my industry, scanning market trends, disruptive innovations, and behavioral shifts. I don’t wait for change—I anticipate it.
    I Reverse-Engineer What’s Next – I don’t rely on yesterday’s case studies. I track the real-time conversations, hidden patterns, and emerging insights that are shaping tomorrow’s business landscape. By the time others catch on, my audience has already adapted.
    I Embed Myself in the Ecosystem – My learning doesn’t come from books—it comes from being in the trenches. I interact with pioneers, industry leaders, and decision-makers before their ideas become mainstream. My content is shaped by the unfiltered, behind-the-scenes conversations that most people don’t have access to.
    I Test, Validate, and Refine – Every insight I share has been battle-tested. I don’t just repeat theories—I pressure-test them in real-world scenarios, ensuring my content isn’t just relevant, but immediately applicable.
    I Upgrade My Content in Real-Time – If breaking news or a game-changing development happens 24 hours before I hit the stage, I’m not just aware—I’m integrating it seamlessly into my presentation. My audience doesn’t just get the latest information, they get insights that are weeks or months ahead of where the world is going.
    ✨ The Result? My audiences don’t just stay relevant—they move ahead of the curve, armed with strategies before the rest of the industry even knows what’s coming.
    Now, tell me this: Do you want a speaker who’s simply "updated"… or one who makes sure your audience is future-proofed before they even leave the room?
  • How will Ernesto make me look like a genius for bringing him in?

    "Simple. Because the moment I step off stage, your team won’t just be inspired—they’ll be talking about this for months. And guess who gets the credit for making that happen? YOU."

    💥 Here’s What Happens When You Hire Me:

    ✅ Your Boss Will Say: “That was the best speaker we’ve ever had. Great call bringing him in.”
    ✅ Your Team Will Say: “Wow. That actually changed how I think. When’s the next one?”
    ✅ Your Attendees Will Say: “I needed that. That wasn’t just another talk—this was a game-changer.”
    ✅ And You? You’ll be seen as the person who made a bold, brilliant decision that elevated the entire event.

    Why? Because I don’t deliver talks—I create moments. Moments that get remembered. Moments that shift perspectives. Moments that make events legendary.

    No generic content. No cookie-cutter keynotes. No "seen-it-before" speeches.
    I study your audience like I’m preparing for the most important performance of my life. Because in that moment, it is.

    And here’s the real kicker…

    🔹 Every event I speak at has one thing in common: The event planner or decision-maker brings me back.
    🔹 Why? Because they don’t want to take a chance on someone else who might not deliver at this level.
    🔹 They know that when they book me, the hardest decision of their entire event is already solved.

    So the real question isn’t “How will Ernesto make you look like a genius?”
    It’s “How fast can we lock this in before someone else books your date?”

    Let’s talk.
