Speaking Topics

  • Brandon’s flagship keynote follows the same outline as his book, Talent(ish).

    This keynote dives deep into the truth behind “talent,” and why we shouldn’t use talent itself as the ultimate measure of career success.

    In fact, Brandon outlines the 7 keys every creative services pro needs if they want to break through the invisible value ceiling that’s holding them back from achieving abundant success.

    These seven keys are what’s helped Brandon, someone who isn’t even close to being the most talented, build several six figure creative businesses, work for global brands, and build a multi-million dollar creative business…all while being able to travel, raise his family, and spend time on what really matters in life.

  • There is a right way to lead right-brained people. There’s also a wrong way. Newsflash, creative people need three things to thrive at work. If you’re not giving them to your team, you are going to fail to steward them, get the best out of them, and keep them around. Brandon will equip creative leaders and team members to co-exist in ways that get the best out of everyone in healthy ways.

  • Learn how to become the kind of creative pro that makes tons of money, adds tons of value, and never has to worry again about feeling unfulfilled. Brandon will break down his proprietary framework for becoming a hybrid creative, what that is, and why the demand for this is happening in real time. Only hybrid creatives get to charge a premium, sit at the big table with the decision makers, and remove any and every limit that’s ever been placed on them.

  • Should you niche? Should you not niche? This is a widely debated topic in creative circles but Brandon’s story is proof that if you want to make the big bucks, you have to niche! Brandon successfully niched down in two totally different industries over the course of 15 years and generated millions of revenue as a creative pro doing so. Brandon breaks down why and how to go after a profitable niche as a creative pro or business.

  • Emotional, physical, and spiritual health are things that usually get checked at the door when we go to work. Why? I believe we should bring our whole selves to work. However, creative people are usually the most unhealthy in these three areas and Brandon is on a mission to change that. It takes intention, clarity, and drive to become a fully healthy creative pro, heck…if you don’t you can’t grow or love what you do as a creative. Brandon will break down what it looks like FOR YOU to become a healthy creative, and how to do that.

  • “Brandon was amazinggg! So many tiny things you wouldn't think mattered but they do. He's putting a lot of light into the underrated or stuff that we hear so much that we automatically ignore and forget how important they are.”

  • Brandon Triola is an author, speaker, artist, minister, and entrepreneur.

    He is also the author of Voices in My Wilderness: Depression, diagnosis, and the voices who delivered me.

    In this short, thrilling, and easy-to-read page-turner, Brandon tells the true story of starting his senior year of high school with everything he could have hoped for in front of him: a promising season on the basketball team, a girlfriend, and scholarship offers from prestigious art schools. However, he soon finds himself in a battle with the life-altering diagnoses of not one, but two mental illnesses. Suicidal thoughts and tormenting "voices" begin to flood his mind and lead him towards the unthinkable. Brandon's detailed plans to take his life are delayed and disrupted by several people from his small hometown in northeast Ohio who decide to stop, speak up, and speak to Brandon in the midst of his pain.

    These people introduced Brandon to another voice, one that in his final minutes spoke through the noises of self-hatred and death that tormented him.
