Orlando's Choice for Healthcare, HR and Corporate Events That Demand a World-Class Motivational Speaker
As an Orlando motivational speaker, Dr. Rick Goodman has built a track record spanning nearly a decade in this market, from national healthcare associations to Fortune-recognized technology companies. Specifically, when meeting planners here need a motivational speaker who delivers beyond the stage, they call him.
Notably, Dr. Rick Goodman holds the Certified Speaking Professional designation and has been recognized as a Top 30 Global Leadership Guru multiple consecutive years. In addition, he has delivered over 2,000 keynotes across all 50 states and 32 countries.
Rick's Orlando history goes back to 2018, when he presented at the AST National Surgical Technology Conference and State Assembly Leadership Forum at the Walt Disney World Dolphin and Swan. His program, The Game Plan, Solutions, Strategies, Results, received a 98 percent top-scoring rating from attendees, and the AST State Assembly Leadership Committee called the forum a most memorable event because of his ability to present the subject matter in such an exciting way.
Since then, Rick has returned to Orlando repeatedly. He led a leadership workshop for Crothall Healthcare at the Marriott World Center, and later delivered a keynote for Kore.AI, also at the Marriott World Center, where 65 attendees rated the session 97 percent valuable, with 100 percent saying they would want to hear Rick speak again. He also presented for the HR Florida State Council at their Conference and Expo at Rosen Shingle Creek.
Furthermore, Rick has been recognized by Global Gurus as a Top 30 Leadership Expert worldwide, placing him among the most respected motivational speakers on the international stage.
Why Orlando Organizations Book a Motivational Speaker With Proven Local Results
Orlando's convention and meetings market is one of the busiest in the country. Consequently, attendees can tell within the first five minutes whether a speaker did the pre-event work or showed up with a recycled program dressed up in new slides.
That is why Dr. Rick Goodman conducts a discovery call before every engagement. First, he researches your industry. Then, he learns your organization's current challenges, and finally customizes language, stories, and content specifically to your audience. The results speak for themselves: a 98 percent top rating from AST, and a 97 percent valuable rating from Kore.AI, six years apart, at two different venues, for two entirely different industries.
