Choosing a grief speaker is about more than finding someone who can talk about loss. The right person should understand grief, connect with your audience, and give people something practical they can use afterward. This guide explains what to look for in a grief speaker, why personal and professional experience both matter, and how keynotes, workshops, retreats, peer support, and professional training serve different needs. It also covers ways to make the learning easier for attendees to remember and revisit after the event.
Join me on October 29 at the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science for Walking the Talk, a full-day session designed to help grief and bereavement professionals reconnect with their purpose, restore balance, and integrate mindfulness-based practices into both personal and professional life. We’ll explore journaling, ritual, emotional regulation, and posttraumatic growth. 5 CE credits available.
