About Me (Shawn Ellis)

Since 1999, I’ve had the privilege of working with many of the world’s best speakers and the meeting planners and business leaders who book those speakers. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.

During the same time, I’ve been a leader in two successful small businesses — one as a vice president, another as the owner and president. Both have been built through innovative marketing and utilization of the latest technologies, with a commitment to excellent customer service as the foundation.

While I’m still booking speakers and leading The Speakers Group, I’ve created Succeed Speaking as an outlet to help professional speakers build more successful businesses through no-hype, professional business strategies fitted to today’s marketplace (not the marketplace from 10-20 years ago).

Shawn Ellis is as honest and sincere a gentleman as a speaking coach can be. I hired Shawn as my “wing man” and was nothing but impressed with his attention to detail and handle on the industry. – Mike Marchev, Author of Become the Exception
