Our Purpose

Changing Lives, One Speech at a Time

At the heart of Celebrity Speakers is one simple mission: to change lives through the power of storytelling. A great speaker doesn’t just fill a stage - they spark something in every person in the room. They build Mauri - energy, life force - and leave people better than they arrived.

We believe many of the values we hold close are beautifully expressed through Tikanga Māori - the values and customs of Māori culture. These timeless principles reflect who we are, how we serve, and why we do what we do. They capture not just what we do, but how we do it.

Manaakitanga - Care, Hospitality & Generosity

We believe it's not just what we do, but how we make people feel. Every client, speaker, and audience member should feel supported, cared for, and uplifted.

Whanaungatanga - Meaningful Relationships

Relationships are everything. We don’t just manage bookings; we nurture partnerships. Every interaction is about building trust and shared purpose, ensuring lasting, genuine connections across the industry.

We Are Industry Leaders with Heart

Anyone can say "we’re like a family" - but for us, it’s real. Many of our team have grown their careers here for decades. Our Managing Director is literally known as "Mum" in the office. This genuine connection extends to how we work with both speakers and clients - with warmth, honesty, and care.

When you book with Celebrity Speakers, you're not just securing a speaker - you're partnering with people who love what they do, believe deeply in the impact of great storytelling, and are committed to making every event count.
