About
You know how meeting and event planners and decision makers need to hire professional keynote speakers for their main stage who can connect with their audiences, design and deliver relevant content in an artfully crafted, entertaining and impacting performance. And we’re not talking about your typical “Rah-Rah,” Power-Point wielding, quick-fix motivational speaker!
With credibility as an A-List presenter at major national conferences and events, Richard Hight has influenced millions of people in more than 2,000 live appearances. He’s been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX Networks as well as numerous major universities and Fortune 500 Companies + so much more!
Richard creates unforgettable WOW! experiences that audiences want to repeat. By implementing artist’s Best Practices and revealing strategies for innovation, he helps people repurpose and embrace new possibilities, leveraging their uniqueness to create distinction and increase competitive edge at work and in life.
He shares the empowering story of how he overcame being a timid, Dyslexic boy from the midwest struggling just to keep up and how a shift in his mindset boosted his confidence and had him on the path to becoming a celebrity fine artist, public speaker and author who now encourages others to do the same so they can make a difference.
It all happens within minutes. At times with broad strokes, and at others with intense detail. Vibrant color is set on six foot canvases illustrating your theme or mission as artwork is choreographed to selected pieces of music which is followed by highly relatable and humorous stories. You even retain the original artwork afterwards!! There are events you attend…but this is one you experience!
I enjoy meeting new clients and custom crafting a presentation that is perfectly suited tho their individualized needs.
It's also great leaving the original art work with the client when I leave after the event.

Working with Richard was an absolute pleasure from the first correspondence to the keynote delivery and even the face time after the program. Richard is a committed and passionate artist and speaker whose experience, background, humor and life experience all intertwine perfectly to form one of the best motivational speeches I've seen in a long time. He captivated the youth in our audience, had staff, business leaders and educators laughing throughout and produced an exceptional piece of art that will hang proudly in the lobby of our non-profit agency. We highly recommend Richard to anyone in search of a talented, professional, insightful motivational keynote speaker. Thank you Richard, for being the highlight of our banquet!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Typically, cost is based on need. However, $1,000 is the starting place for negotiations.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After the date is confirmed we schedule a phone call so we can "sit down" and discuss their needs and the type of event they are planning. Then, we work together to establish what canvas I can create for them and the tone of the meeting and the keynote I deliver. My objective is to help my client host a memorable, one-of-a-kind event. I want to leave knowing that I made them look good.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied Art at the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver and went on to hold several different positions with various Ad Agencies in Dallas, Denver, Chicago and a few other locations around the country. Until demand for my speaking prevented me remaining with the agencies in a full time capacity.
