Our speakers on
kindness

The budget for a speaker on kindness generally ranges from €2,000 to €8,000, depending on the speaker’s profile, the length and format of the session. The main factor affecting the fee is the speaker’s specific business experience and their ability to tailor their talk to your context. Also allow for travel expenses if your event is not in a major city. For executive audiences or large seminars, the budget is often higher, as expectations for quality interaction are greater.

To choose a speaker on kindness, start with your organisation’s real culture: some profiles are very hands-on, others focus on inspiration or personal stories. Check that they understand the specific challenges of your sector. In a preliminary discussion, ask them about a real situation from your company: their answer will give you a direct sense of their ability to adapt, beyond their standard talk.

A successful talk on kindness won’t transform the atmosphere in an hour, but it can open up new conversations and defuse invisible blockages. Often, after this type of conference, managers feel able to address taboo topics or teams try out new feedback rituals. The main indicator: if, in the weeks that follow, some colleagues spontaneously refer to what was said, the message has taken root.

The main mistake is choosing a speaker on kindness just for a 'feel good' effect. If the speaker has never faced conflict or real transformation in business, their talk may feel disconnected. Be wary of overly generalist profiles who recycle the same examples. Favour a speaker who can talk about failures or resistance, not just successes.

In general, a session on kindness works well over 45 minutes to an hour, followed by time for discussion. What makes the difference is adding a short workshop or Q&A session where participants can share their own cases. Formats where the audience is purely passive rarely have lasting impact, especially on a topic that touches on everyday behaviours.

A good speaker on kindness can spot resistance from the outset and never tries to force buy-in. They often start with examples of tense or conflictual situations, then show concretely how kindness fits into demanding environments. This approach avoids the 'moral lesson' effect and helps engage even the most analytical profiles.

Yes, but the approach should be adapted. For an executive committee, choose a speaker on kindness who can challenge management practices without falling into idealised talk. Lespeakers often recommends speakers who have already worked with executive teams, with the ability to address sensitive topics (pressure, decision-making, managing silence). This format encourages reflection without putting participants on the spot.

For managers, choose a speaker on kindness with real management experience, not just theory. Ideally, they have supported teams through change or experienced tense situations themselves. A profile who also shares their own limits and mistakes generates more buy-in and practical application. Active listening during the briefing is a sign they will truly tailor their talk.
