Memorial Day is a solemn and meaningful occasion that calls for authenticity, respect and reflection. A professional keynote ensures that your event honors service and sacrifice with credibility and depth, while also inspiring those in attendance.
Speakers with military backgrounds, such as Mike Abrashoff, former U.S. Navy captain, bring firsthand leadership experience and powerful stories of accountability, teamwork and service. His perspective connects the principles learned in the armed forces with values that resonate strongly on Memorial Day.
Mandy Hickson and Sarah Furness, both former Royal Air Force pilots, offer compelling insights into courage, discipline and performing under pressure. Their experiences highlight dedication and resilience, reinforcing the human side of service and sacrifice.
With his background in the Royal Marines, Monty Halls speaks about leadership, endurance and purpose in challenging environments — themes that align closely with the spirit of Memorial Day. Caspar Craven, drawing on lessons from leading teams through extreme challenges at sea, reflects on unity, commitment and shared responsibility. Meanwhile, Steve Judge shares an inspiring story of overcoming adversity and rebuilding purpose after life-changing circumstances, emphasizing gratitude, determination and resilience.
