Inspirational Speakers – November 2024

Hard to believe we’re at the end of November already—where has the time gone? I’m still recovering from the early fireworks, and now the Christmas ads are everywhere!

It’s been another busy month filled with brilliant events and glowing feedback (many highlights shared below!).

We’re also getting into the festive spirit here at Inspirational Speakers and are so excited to celebrate our Christmas party this Friday with a bottomless lunch, some fun at the Casino, and a wander around the Christmas markets! It’s the perfect way to wrap up a top year, with a fantastic team!

Scroll down for exciting new speaker additions, some wonderful client feedback, and a special ‘shoutout’ to one of our speakers!
