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.

Next Play

How to Focus on What Matters Most and Improve Performance, Productivity, & Fulfillment

Featuring new, never-before-shared stories, stats, and actionable strategies, this program is ideal for any organization looking to develop an unstoppable Next Play Mindset and improve their team’s performance, productivity, and output – and stay relevant in a constantly changing world.

High performance is not complicated. Prepare during the unseen hours, work toward mastery of the fundamentals, and make discipline decisions consistently.

But what happens when you do those things and still fall short? When you do everything in your power and still come up empty, miss your goal, or lose the game?

How do you respond?

How do you bounce back?

How do you maintain optimism and confidence?

You develop a Next Play Mindset.

You lean into the fact that what just happened isn’t nearly as important as what is happening right now – your Next Play.

This keynote is designed to show how reaching the top of your game doesn’t require more. It requires less but better.

The Next Play Mindset is the ultimate guide for individuals and organizations who want to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

(Oh, and the Next Play Mindset isn’t just a performance strategy – it’s a life strategy. One that helps you manage transitions, bounce back from adversity, stay centered, adapt quickly, reduce stress, and let go of resentment. )

Here are six ways the Next Play Mindset makes individuals and teams unstoppable:

1. Transition: Life is a series of transitions – some small, some massive. Whether you’re shifting from a tough meeting to a family dinner, or moving across the country to start a new chapter, a Next Play Mindset helps you let go of what’s behind you and fully invest in what’s ahead. You can’t control the past, but you can control how you show up now.

2. Resilience: Setbacks are inevitable, but suffering is optional. Resilience isn’t about avoiding adversity, it’s about responding to it with optimism and enthusiasm. Next Play means you acknowledge the stumble, learn from it, and move forward with renewed energy. You bounce back faster because you’re not stuck in a moment that already passed.

3. Being Present: Worry lives in the past and the future – peace lives in the now. The Next Play Mindset teaches you to leave the last moment behind (whether it was a win or a loss) and be fully engaged in the current one. That’s where performance, joy, and growth happen.

4. Adjustments: The best performers aren’t the most talented; they’re the most adaptable. Life throws curveballs. With a Next Play approach, you become a constant recalibrator – adjusting your mindset, your emotions, and your behavior to meet the moment as it is. That’s how you stay aligned and effective.

5. Lower Stress: Stress often comes from fighting what is. The Next Play Mindset encourages you to stop resisting reality and start responding to it. You don’t have to like every situation you’re in, but accepting it gives you the clarity and calm to take the next best step.

6. Forgiveness: Holding onto anger or bitterness is like dragging an anchor behind you – it slows everything down. Forgiveness isn’t about saying what happened was okay; it’s about deciding that your peace matters more than your pain. Next Play is the act of release. It frees you to move forward.

Here are three practical, actionable ways for individuals and teams to implement Next Play:

Short-Term Focus: When you get knocked off course – missed a shot, made a mistake, had a rough conversation – shift your focus from what just happened to what’s happening right now. That’s your power zone.

Long-Term Direction: Next Play isn’t only moment-to-moment, it’s about life’s big picture. Shift your focus from what was to what is. That’s how you start fresh, no matter how the last chapter ended.

Goal Navigation: Whether you crushed your goal or fell short, the question is the same: What now? Next Play keeps you from plateauing after success and from spiraling after failure. It’s your reset button for momentum.

A Next Play Mindset doesn’t mean forgetting the past. It means honoring it, learning from it, and then refusing to let it define you.

In every area of life and business… the NEXT PLAY is always the most important one.

Raise Your Game

How to Maximize Your Individual Performance, Contribution, and Significance

The number one investment you can make is the investment in yourself. To achieve a greater level of success, you must be intentional in developing yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally. If you want more, you must become more.

The key to raising your individual performance and expanding your contributions and significance lies in your ability to master these five fundamentals:

Self-Awareness
Passion
Discipline
Coachability
Confidence

This can only be achieved by closing Performance Gaps (the gap between what you know and what you do). In this powerful program, Alan teaches practical strategies to heighten self-awareness, create winning habits and routines, and improve productivity.

Regardless of title or tenure, attendees walk away with actionable steps to:

Align your habits with your core values and beliefs
Improve your Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and develop a true winner’s mindset
Learn to be present in the moment
Earn confidence while maintaining humility
Manage change and create a process for progress

This program is ideal for the player looking to improve individual performance and/or contributions to the team (company-wide events, all-hands meetings, teams, employees, and/or entrepreneurs).

Raise Our Game

How to Increase Organizational Performance, Communication, and Cohesion

The highest-performing organizations find and attract; train and develop; empower and support; and push and praise great people. They emphasize professional and personal development.

Elite teams promote shared ownership, individual responsibility, and collective accountability by clearly establishing each team member’s role, creating buy-in and believe-in with their role, and rewarding those that star in their role.

The key to raising organizational performance and building a winning culture is a result of how well your teams master these five fundamentals:

Belief
Unselfishness
Role Clarity
Communication
Cohesion

An organization’s leadership team has one primary job: to find out what each team member does well and best utilize that skill set for the team's benefit. They understand the power of what drives you needs to be good for us, and what drives us needs to be good for you.” And they know that a motivated, happy, engaged team member directly affects other aspects of the business.

This program is a must-attend for any team that aspires to:

Want every team member to be consistently exceptional
Promote and emphasize the value of diversity, empathy, and inclusion
Eliminate entitlement, selfishness, and complacency
Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication
Develop competence and confidence through honest feedback

This program is ideal for the team looking to improve their organizational performance and culture. (company-wide events, all-hands meetings, teambuilding events, leaders, HR departments)

Raise Your Sales

Increase Sales Performance with the Mindsets, Habits, and Focus of World Class Performers

No matter what your sales system is or how rich your pipeline might be, if you’re not implementing the habits that elite performers use regularly, your ability to execute and close sales will always be limited. In other words… you (and your sales) will underperform.

Finding leads, qualifying leads, following up, and servicing clients depletes us of our two most precious resources – time and energy. Filled with stories, stats, and actionable steps, Alan will share how to maximize both time and energy, as well as teach strategies for what to control, what to let go, and how to trust the process. This program is critical for anyone who wants to improve his or her sales performance.

In this session, attendees will learn the most effective strategies to:

Shift your mindset from selling to solving
Become a world-class active listener (telling is not selling)
Consistently create quality touches (sales is a high-contact game)
Learn to care more about the prospect than making the sale
Develop unparalleled relationships

This program is ideal for sales teams and sales leaders looking to improve their sales performance. (annual sales meetings, sales training, sales leaders, sales representatives, sales support)

How to Improve Your Leadership Performance, Impact, and Influence

How have some organizations been able to sustain unparalleled success while others are sporadic and inconsistent? Simple… it’s their leadership. A team will never outperform its leadership.

A leader’s primary job is to create an environment where people feel safe, included, appreciated, valued, respected, inspired, empowered, and challenged. Employees need to know they have the resources and support to star in their specific role and make a meaningful contribution to the team.

The key to raising your leadership performance and amplifying your impact and influence is a direct result of how well you master these five fundamentals:

Vision
Culture
Servanthood
Character
Empowerment

This program is vital for any leader who aspires to:

Become the leader for which you would want to work
Find, attract, hire, train, empower, support, and retain top talent
Build a winning culture by aligning organizational beliefs and behavior
Heighten Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to establish unparalleled trust, buy-in, and believe-in
Effectively coordinate everyone’s effort to produce astonishing results

This program is ideal for the coach looking to improve their leadership performance (C-level, executives, directors, managers, supervisors, emerging leaders).

Sustain Your Game

by Alan Stein Jr

Build the mental fortitude necessary to stay on top of your game.

What makes the best the best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have--both in their respective "arenas," but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn't something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them. The highest performers in all walks of life have taken full ownership. They got to where they are and have stayed there because they have chosen to establish, tweak and repeat positive habits. They understand that you can't be selective when it comes to excellence, that how we do anything is how we do everything.

Based on his years as a successful basketball performance coach--training superstars like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant--and a speaker and trainer to major companies like Pepsi and Amex, Alan Stein brings you the keys to lasting, unimaginable success. The secret? Return to the basics. They're simple, but they're not easy. But the truth is that more connected, productive, and influential leaders and teammates find long-lasting success not with big flashy changes, but with the accumulated of the little things.

Sustain Your Game teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life. With advice from top CEOs, journalists, social scientists, and more, you'll learn the framework for how to beat stress, stagnation, and burnout. Sustain Your Game will help you be the best in your arena, wherever that may be.
