JLA’s military guest speakers can provide engaging and inspiring insights for your event.

Britain has a great military heritage, and more often than not, you’ll find many families with some form of military connection or background.

This familiarity and history means that our military personnel immediately have the respect and admiration of many—two key factors to any motivational speaker’s skillset. This prestige and the transferable skills of storied, decorated (and often challenging) lives make for a compelling, engaging and entertaining event speaker who can connect with your audience and inspire like no other.

From amazing military feats and strategies that can be implemented into modern business to heart-warming stories that inspire compassion and change, there is much to be gained from adding military guest speakers to your conference or event.
With the help of JLA’s 35-strong team of experts, we will:

  • Work to your brief to deliver the perfect military speaker and event structure.
  • Offer insightful solutions and share client feedback based on our vast experience.
  • Take care of the little details, including fee negotiation and logistics.
