The Top Speaker Pyramid – From ‘Informational’ to ‘Transformational’ Speaker
In the world of public speakers, there are significant differences – both in terms of the impact and the goal of their performance. The ‘Top Speaker Pyramid’ shows how speaker types can be classified into four levels – from the base to the top of the impact scale.
1. Informational Speaker – The Base
The informational speaker stands at the base of the pyramid.
Their main task is to convey knowledge and facts in an understandable way.
They are experts in their field and ensure that complex topics become tangible for the audience.
Examples: specialist lectures, training courses, seminars.
We offer you a choice of three top informational speakers for your conference:
Peter Bofinger – Economist and monetary policy expert. Excellent first-hand information on the state of the nation in finance and economics.

2. Motivational speaker – the driving force
A motivational speaker goes beyond simply imparting knowledge. They want to activate the audience emotionally and inspire them to take action. They often address topics such as personal development, perseverance and success. They motivate people to step out of their comfort zone and tackle their goals.

3. Inspirational speaker – Inspiration
The inspirational speaker speaks to the heart. They inspire through authentic stories, visions and values that touch others. The aim is to motivate people to change their perspective and see new possibilities. Inspiration comes from role models and emotional depth.

4. Transformational speaker – The top of the pyramid
At the top is the transformational speaker. He goes beyond information, motivation and inspiration – because he accompanies real change.
A transformational speaker:
- contributes to the transformation process through valuable lectures,
- supports companies and organisations in establishing new ways of thinking and structures,
- and accompanies them on their path of further development in the long term.
They combine knowledge, emotion and vision to create a lasting effect and offer important impact for you personally or for your company.
