When choosing a motivational speaker, professional speaker, inspirational speaker or keynote speaker for the UK or UAE bear in mind that there are two distinctly different types. On the one hand there are the self-motivators; those who've motivated themselves to achieve something, and on the other, there are the leadership motivators; those who motivate others to achieve something.  The self-motivator will typically have a sports or adventure background or may have struggled to overcome a difficulty or obstacle in life.  The leadership motivator will often be found to have a background in business, politics, the armed forces, or as a sports coach or manager rather than a player.  It's important to understand which professional speaker is best suited for your event. You must first assess the needs of your audience - their goals and aspirations - and have a clear vision of the message you wish to introduce to your audience.  If the need is for your audience to re-assess and re-examine their personal circumstances and to strive for greater levels of responsibility and personal fulfilment, then the self-motivator speaker is the one to go for. If team-work, trust, communication, empathy and leadership are the main factors, then the leadership motivator is going to be the one for your audience. Estienne de Beer is one such keynote speaker; an inspirational speaker of the leadership motivator kind. But he is also much in demand as a wildlife speaker and a nature speaker.  Estienne operates from Johannesburg, Pretoria, Gauteng in South Africa, as well as in London in the United Kingdom and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
