THE NCS SPEAKER COLLECTIVE

A collective

The McKinsey of redemption

Seven nationally sought-after speakers. Every vantage point covered. From life sentences to best-seller lists, from solitary confinement to the C-Suite and the halls of Congress.

Book one voice or build a program — multiple speakers, one topic, dimensions of lived and professional experience that no single speaker can offer alone. Your audience gets something they have never experienced.

HOW THE COLLECTIVE WORKS

One topic. Multiple vantage points.
One program your audience won't forget.

Most organizations book a speaker. NCS builds a program. The difference is the difference between hearing one story and understanding a whole landscape.

When you bring multiple NCS speakers to the same topic, your audience hears from the person who lived it from the inside, the person who built organizations around it, the person who studied it at the highest academic level, and the person who changed policy because of it. That combination is not available anywhere else.

Below you'll find the full collective — and below that, example program configurations for seven topic areas. Every program is customized to your audience, your goals, and your event format.
