Today, we’ve put together a list of 10 artistic speakers who truly paint the path to success!
The content in each of their keynote presentations are filled with all types of interesting elements. They are ideal candidates for organizations that want to wow their audiences with mesmerizing visuals, incredible story-telling, exciting dancing, and much more!
The first person to paint on this blank canvas is Phil Hansen. Phil is an internationally recognized multimedia artist, speaker, author, and innovator. “We need to first be limited in order to become limitless,” is the message he sends out to his audiences. Phil’s message stems from a nerve-damaging tremor he developed in his drawing hand from his main style of drawing, called Pointillism. Devastated, he stepped away from his passion until one day his doctor told him to “embrace the shake.” This statement was so simple and completely reversed Phil’s perspective on life. By embracing his shake, Phil was able to explore new ways to make art and discovered that limitations could actually become the gateway to creativity. Phil now works with traditional art, electronic media, offbeat materials, and interactive experiences. As a speaker, Phil enlightens audiences to look beyond their boundaries and to continuously seek new forms of creation in their everyday lives.
