All About Them

Why do some people, companies, and ideas get chosen while others get ignored?

The answer starts with a simple truth: your brand isn’t really about you. It’s about the people you want to reach and the value you create for them.

In All About Them, Bruce Turkel shows audiences how to see their businesses through their customers’ eyes, understand what people really want, and build stronger connections that make them more valuable. Through entertaining stories, memorable examples, and practical ideas, Bruce demonstrates how putting your audience first can help you stand out, add value, and become the obvious choice.

Building Brand Value

Everyone has access to the same information, tools, technology, and strategies as you. So why should anyone choose you instead of the competition?

Building Brand Value answers that question with seven simple rules, each expressed in only three words. Bruce Turkel brings those rules to life with entertaining stories and real-world examples that show how the world’s most successful people and organizations create meaningful differences.

Your audience will discover how to communicate what makes them valuable, build stronger relationships with the people who matter, and find opportunities to add value in every interaction.

AI, GPT, and YOU
The Future Started Yesterday

AI is changing what we can do, how quickly we can do it, and what our customers expect from us. But as technology becomes more capable and more accessible, the question becomes even more important: Where do you add value?

Bruce Turkel explores what happens when powerful new technology gives everyone access to capabilities that once created competitive advantage. Through stories, demonstrations, and unexpected examples, he shows audiences how curiosity, creativity, ingenuity, and human connection become even more valuable in a world increasingly powered by machines.

Your attendees will leave thinking differently about disruption, excited about the opportunities ahead, and better prepared to use new technology to add value rather than keep up with it.
 

Whaddayawant?

What do you want? It sounds like a simple question. But most people, and many organizations, have never really answered it.

Knowing what you want changes the decisions you make, the opportunities you pursue, and the value you create. Because when you’re clear about where you’re going, it becomes much easier to understand what matters, what doesn’t, and where you can add value along the way.

In Whaddayawant?, Bruce Turkel takes audiences on an entertaining journey through business, art, culture, and everyday life to explore how successful people figure out what they really want and make choices that move them toward it.

Your attendees will leave with a clearer way to think about what they want, why it matters, and how creating value for others can help them get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to some of the most common questions about booking Bruce Turkel for your event.

How do I book Bruce Turkel for my event?

Booking Bruce Turkel with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process:
  • Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available.
  • Hold Date: We place a temporary "hold" on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval.
  • Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
  • Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match. You get the same speaker for the same price, but with a dedicated team with over 30 years of event experience handling contracts, logistics, and are prepared for any emergency. We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

What makes Premiere Speakers Bureau unique compared to other agencies?

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
