About Beth Sherman

Keynote Speaker on Trust, Influence, Leadership Communication

Beth Sherman is a leading keynote speaker on fast trust, influence, and leadership communication.

A 7x Emmy Award-winning comedy writer and veteran comedian with 30 years of stage experience—from Las Vegas to Iraq—Beth teaches organizations how to build trust in seconds using her practical, research-backed method, Really Really Rapid Rapport™.

Her keynotes show leaders, sales teams, and professionals how to create immediate emotional connection, accelerate decisions, expand their influence, and drive stronger, more effective outcomes across the organization.

Beth spent more than three decades in high-pressure comedic environments where connection must happen instantly or nothing lands. Her writing credits include The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Ellen, and the Academy Awards, where she crafted engaging content for A-listers like Tom Hanks, Helen Mirren, and Queen Latifah. Today, she brings that same creative mastery to the business stage — delivering high-energy keynotes and masterclasses filled with laughter, insight, and actionable strategies that transform even the driest conferences.

Her programs are ideal for corporate events, association conferences, leadership summits, sales kickoffs, and internal communication gatherings seeking a keynote speaker who combines entertainment-level engagement with real business impact — driving the influence and outcomes that matter most.
