A Motivational Speakers Series For Everyone: Distinguished Speakers Series LA

A lot of you have been asking me where to start in regards to finding a motivational seminar. If you are looking to boost your motivational lifestyle than I highly suggest going to see an inspiring speaker or seminar. Speakers not only keep you on track with your goals but you also become part of an empowering community.

So to answer your question. If you are new to this space and in the Los Angles area  then I recommend starting with the Distinguished Speakers Series Speakers LA (you can read more about them in a previous blog post here).  They have invited me to check out some of their speakers and the experience was very impactful.  The space is held in a beautiful theatre and they always have speakers you may have not sought out on your own. In pervious years I saw Magic Johnson and New York Times author and political commentator, David Brooks share life changing speeches. Click the links to read about what those speakers spoke about.

What makes Speakers LA  great for newbies is it’s a subscription series. This means that you buy a subscription, packages ranging from $260 – $475 and can see a different speakers through Nov – May 2019. (Read below for this years lineup) This is a great opportunity because usually it can cost $500 or more to go to just one seminar! At Speakers LA you can see more than one speaker which allows you to find what you like and also keep you accountable for surrounding yourself with a positive community.

This years series will be held at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.  I’ve listed this years lineup for you below:
