Awakening Greatness Within™

BigSpeak™ Speakers Bureau was founded in 1995 by Chairman Jonathan Wygant, who recognized an unfulfilled need for a firm that would provide greater focus and a deeper level of service to Fortune 1000 clients seeking not only keynote speakers, but professional development programs as well. He sought out professionals with skills and experience in the speaking/organizational development industry and from other boutique firms, who share the culture of service, focus and passion that BigSpeak fosters and lives by.

Among speakers bureaus, the BigSpeak team has several decades of cumulative experience in the speaking industry, as well as decades of experience in various realms of business. The wealth of industry knowledge and experience our agents provide, as well as our highly collaborative approach, ensures each and every client will be matched with the perfect speaker for their unique needs to create impactful, informative, and inspiring programs.

BigSpeak team members enjoy flex-schedules, remote work, pet and child-friendly offices, HSA health plans, pension plan, profit-sharing, and off-site trips.  Additionally, frequent visits by celebrities and top business thought leaders allow the company to be in the vanguard of smart, nimble and innovative business practices.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.  Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

BigSpeak Giving

Giving is a large part of the BigSpeak culture - and we strive for transformation and bring hope to people and their organizations. In addition to offering paid time off for employees to volunteer for a cause of their choice, BigSpeak has made charitable donations to organizations we believe in, and work with many speakers who donate their keynote honorariums to charity as well. We believe that this is an important facet of any successful business, and we are immensely grateful that we are fortunate to give back to the community.
