Why the right speaker matters
A conference or all-staff event is one of the few times your entire organisation stops and listens at once, and it is easy to waste. When the agenda is purely logistical, or the speaker does not connect with the room, the moment passes without changing how anyone thinks or works the next day. Only 21% of employees globally are engaged at work, down from 23% in 2023 and the second decline in 12 years (Gallup, State of the Global Workplace 2025). A flat event is a missed opportunity to address that disengagement, while a speaker who lands can reset the tone of a team or an entire organisation. The cost is rarely the speaker fee. It is the opportunity you only get when everyone is already in the room.
Who this is for
HSG’s keynote and conference speakers suit conference and event audiences, whole-of-organisation gatherings, leadership forums and wellbeing days. They work equally well for a large plenary and a focused leadership session, in person or for virtual audiences across multiple sites. Talks can be pitched for general staff, managers, and leadership groups, or a mixed audience at a company-wide event.
What a speaker session involves
HSG’s speakers deliver keynote presentations and interactive sessions that combine evidence-based content with practical, take-home strategies, stories and audience questions. Session length is flexible, from a short keynote of 30 to 60 minutes that anchors a conference through to a half-day format, and a talk can be paired with a related workshop where you want the audience to go deeper. As health and wellbeing speakers, HSG presents on mental health, stress and resilience, mindfulness, sleep, and nutrition for performance, which makes a corporate wellness speaker a natural fit for a wellbeing day. For leadership forums and conferences, speakers cover leadership, psychological safety, navigating change and team culture, and every talk can be tailored to your event theme and audience. HSG’s specialist speakers present in person across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra, and in regional centres including Darwin, with virtual delivery available nationwide for distributed and hybrid audiences. A keynote also works well alongside a health and wellbeing expo as part of a larger wellbeing day. Contact us to confirm availability for your event and date.

What you can expect
After your event, HSG can report on what a speaker session directly produces: attendance and participation, audience feedback and satisfaction scores, how useful delegates found the content, and the comments people share afterwards. Strong sessions are also what bring organisers back for the following year’s event. In the months that follow, a well-pitched keynote can support broader goals it cannot guarantee on its own: lifting engagement and morale, signalling that the organisation takes wellbeing seriously, and building momentum for a wider wellbeing or culture program. For distributed teams, a shared virtual session can also strengthen connections. The business case for getting this right is well documented. Gallup’s research links highly engaged business units with 23% greater profitability and 68% higher employee wellbeing (Gallup, State of the Global Workplace 2024). A speaker who genuinely engages the room is one input into that kind of engagement, particularly at a moment when your whole organisation is already paying attention.
What our clients say
Julie Baker presented a wonderful session at our recent conference. Feedback from our delegates was very positive. One delegate wrote that Julie is knowledgeable & has applied her expertise to our role – self-care, communication & coping with our daily stresses. Loved this session.

Frequently asked questions

Talks can be pitched for general staff, managers and leaders, or a mixed company-wide audience, in person or virtually across multiple sites.
As a health and wellbeing speaker, HSG covers mental health, stress and resilience, mindfulness, sleep and nutrition, making a corporate wellness speaker a natural fit for a wellbeing day.

A conference or all-staff event is one of the few times your whole organisation is together and paying full attention, and the speaker is what people remember afterwards. With engagement low across most workplaces, a speaker who truly connects can reset a team’s tone in a way an internal update rarely does, and a specialist brings credibility to sensitive topics such as mental health.
Straight after the event, HSG can report on participation, audience feedback and satisfaction, how useful delegates found the content, and the comments people shared. Our experience shows that over time, a strong session can support engagement and morale and open conversations that feed wider culture work. We frame outcomes realistically: a great speaker is one input into engagement, not a guarantee.
