What Makes Me Different from Other Speakers?

Desi Payne Motivational Speker and Funny Keynote Speaker

MOTIVATIONAL HUMORIST

When I speak at your event, you will experience energy, enthusiasm, engagement, and laughter. I make my presentations interactive and fun, while giving your audience something to think about. I will collaborate with you to develop the most valuable program for your participants.  My goal is to EQUIP your audience who work with negative people to better manage stress so that they can be more productive and enjoy their job.  I have shared the stage with well-known speakers such as John C. Maxwell, Nick Vujicic, American Ninja Warrior, Alex Weber, and Black Hawk pilot, Elizabeth McCormick.
