The Las Vegas Motivational Speaker Built to Own the Room in the World's Convention Capital
From Caesars Forum and Mandalay Bay to MGM Grand and The Venetian, Dr. Rick Goodman delivers at Las Vegas's most prestigious venues.
The Las Vegas Motivational Speaker Built for High-Stakes Corporate Events, National Conventions, and Association Conferences
Las Vegas hosts more corporate conferences and conventions than virtually any city in the world. Because of this, your speaker has to match the energy of the destination. Dr. Rick Goodman does exactly that.
Experienced conference attendees know within the first five minutes whether a speaker completed the pre-event work or arrived with a recycled program. Therefore, in Las Vegas, only speakers who deliver relevant content earn the room.
Beyond stage presence, Dr. Rick Goodman brings 30 years of real-world leadership experience, a CSP designation, and Top 30 Global Leadership Guru recognition to every Las Vegas engagement.
Customized for the Audience and the Event
Whether your event is at Caesars Forum, Mandalay Bay, the Las Vegas Convention Center, or the Venetian Expo, Rick arrives prepared. More importantly, he customizes the presentation for your audience.
Recently, he delivered the keynote for the National Interstate & Vanliner Safety Summit at Green Valley Ranch Resort in Henderson. As a result, transportation and logistics leaders from across the country received a program built around their industry and challenges.
In addition, Global Gurus has recognized Rick as a Top 30 Leadership Expert worldwide. Consequently, he ranks among the most sought-after Las Vegas motivational speakers for national conventions and corporate events.
In Las Vegas, Your Motivational Speaker Has to Compete With the City Itself
Attention does not remain inside the convention center doors in Las Vegas. After all, dinner reservations, Strip shows, and countless attractions pull attendees in multiple directions. Therefore, a great Las Vegas motivational speaker must earn their attention and hold it for the entire session.
For that reason, Dr. Rick Goodman's programs are built for impact in large venue, high energy Las Vegas environments. Each session is customized for your audience and supported by content that commands the room. Ultimately, meeting planners rebook Rick because attendees remember him long after the lights of the Strip fade in the rearview mirror.
