Whatever your views on politics and governments, former politicians often make great speakers, as standing on their feet and talking is a key part of the job in the life of a politician.
There is so much synergy between politicians and speaking, and using a former politician can be an interesting and popular choice at a client conference or event.
Why not use a former Foreign, Finance or Prime Minister to talk about their views on international relations, the global economy or even their leadership style?
Using a politician as a keynote speaker gives your audience a chance to look at an important issue through a former senior global decision maker. We are proud to be both the best networked speaker bureau and agency for senior politicians from Europe, Africa and Asia.
