Book Dan Irvin for Your Keynote

Dan Irvin is CEO of The Speaker Lab and a sought-after keynote speaker for corporate audiences. His talks span intentional leadership, authenticity, team ownership, and what the age of AI means for the future of paid speaking. Dan’s been a major part of The Speaker Lab’s growth — training 17,000+ speakers, hitting the Inc. 5000 list five times, and launching a top-ranked business podcast.

What Dan Speaks About

TSL Signature Topics

  • The SPEAK Framework: How experts turn real knowledge into paid platforms without becoming a generic motivational speaker. Signature talk for conferences, industry associations, and leadership events.
  • Speaking in the Age of AI: What happens to expertise, authority, and influence when AI can produce infinite content. Why human speakers are about to become more valuable, not less, and how to be one of them.
  • Building a Business Around Your Voice: For founder and leadership audiences. How to use speaking to build brand gravity, pricing power, and a durable second revenue stream.

High-Impact Keynote Experiences

  • 3 Habits of Intentional Leaders: Being intentional means setting a success framework that keeps you and your team motivated and structured. Covers keeping distractions at bay, recognizing when approaches need updating, and establishing SMARTEST goals.
  • Changing the Cycle: Dan unpacks his own personal and career struggles early in life and shares how he transformed from unmotivated and average into a disciplined, dedicated, and determined leader.

Workshops & Leadership Training Experiences

  • Individualize the Approach: Leadership breaks down when we treat people the same. Equips leaders to adapt communication, motivate individuals, and drive performance through understanding how each person thinks, works, and wins.
  • Leading with Authenticity: Authenticity isn’t a personality trait, it’s a leadership skill. Leaders learn to align values with actions, communicate honestly, and create trust-driven cultures.
  • Balance of Support vs Ownership: High-performing teams thrive on clarity and accountability. Leaders learn to support growth, release control, and build ownership so teams take responsibility.
  • What You Expect… You MUST Model: Culture follows behavior. Challenges leaders to model standards, own their influence, and lead by example.

Who Dan Is Right For

Dan is a strong fit for corporate conferences, association annual meetings, industry summits, leadership offsites, and alumni-style events where the audience is made up of working professionals who want a substantive, well-researched, high-energy keynote that will still be referenced in the hallway the next morning. Dan is not a fit for pure-motivation events or celebrity-driven programs.

What to Expect

Every engagement includes a pre-event call with Dan to tailor the talk to your audience, a signed speaker agreement with clear deliverables, and direct support from our booking team through the event. Fees vary by format, date, and travel; our team will quote on the form below.

Request a Speaker from The Speaker Lab

The Speaker Lab network includes thousands of trained, vetted alumni speaking across business, leadership, technology, health, faith, family, sales, marketing, personal development, and dozens of other categories. When you request a speaker through us, our bureau team reviews your event, your audience, your topic, and your budget, and comes back within two business days with 2 to 4 shortlisted speakers we think are the right match. No scrolling through a directory. No guessing.

Who Our Speakers Are

Every speaker in our network has been through The Speaker Lab methodology. That means a repeatable talk, a clear point of view, real delivery experience, and a track record of paid engagements. Our speakers range from rising industry voices to six-figure keynoters, across all event sizes and formats.

What Happens After You Submit

  1. Our bureau team reviews your request within one business day.
  2. We come back with 2 to 4 speaker recommendations, each with a video clip, bio, and fee range.
  3. You choose who to interview. We coordinate a discovery call.
  4. You select your speaker. We handle contracting, logistics, and pre-event prep.

What Makes a TSL Certified Speaker

Not every speaker is right for every event. Our Certified Speakers are trained, vetted, and proven — so you can book with confidence.

1. Trained in the SPEAK Framework

Every Certified Speaker has completed TSL’s signature curriculum — the same five-stage process that’s trained over 17,000 speakers.

2. Minimum 5 paid keynotes delivered

No “aspiring” keynoters. We only certify speakers who’ve been paid by real clients and have the reps to prove it.

3. Reference-verified

We check with past event organizers before certifying. Reliability, prep, and on-stage delivery are confirmed — not self-reported.

4. Clear topic expertise

Certified Speakers are experts in a defined subject — not generic motivational speakers. You know exactly what they’ll deliver before you book.

5. Professional booking standards

Signed agreements, pre-event prep calls, AV check-ins, clean backup plans. No last-minute surprises.

6. Active in the TSL community

Certified Speakers continuously refine their craft through ongoing training, peer feedback, and content development.

Corporate Training with The Speaker Lab

Most large organizations have a speaker problem they do not know how to solve. The internal subject-matter experts who should be speaking, at industry events, at sales kickoffs, in front of clients, and on stage as company representatives, have not been trained to do it well. The Speaker Lab Corporate Training program fixes that.

What the Program Includes

Custom-designed training engagements for teams of 5 to 500. Formats range from a half-day intensive workshop to a multi-session program spanning 4 to 12 weeks. Every engagement is built on the same SPEAK Framework that has produced over 17,000 paid speakers through our consumer programs, adapted for an internal enterprise context.

Who It Is Built For

  • Leadership teams preparing for a major all-hands, earnings call, or industry event.
  • Sales organizations whose reps and engineers present to enterprise buyers.
  • Subject-matter experts inside your company who represent the brand on external panels, podcasts, and stages.
  • Founder / C-suite presence work for executives going public with a book, a keynote tour, or a thought-leadership push.

Outcomes

Participants leave with a signature talk framework, a refined point of view, measurable improvements in delivery confidence, and a clear plan for where to speak next. Most programs include post-training coaching blocks so the work sticks.
