High Energy Keynote Motivational Speaker Motivational Speaker from Los Angeles, CA

A 7-time award-winning keynote speaker, including being named one of the Best Keynote Speakers in Los Angeles for 2026, Meredith Breitstein's greatest passion is helping people combat complacency. She's on a mission to end an epidemic of millions of people caught living life on "automatic," or worse, settling for mediocrity at work or at home. Here's the thing: anyone can call themselves a leadership trainer. Meredith is a 20 year TV news veteran, and that's what sets her apart. Two decades of live, on camera storytelling taught her exactly what it takes to command a room, own your voice, and be impossible to ignore. She takes those same skills and uses them to help leaders and employees go from invisible to unstoppable. It's this rare combination, journalist and leadership trainer, that makes her uniquely equipped to help people play a bigger game and become bigger contributors at work. As a master leadership trainer and high performance mentor, Meredith has coached thousands of leaders across industries, partnering with associations and corporations to help CEOs, boards, and teams build the courage and confidence to speak UP, stand OUT, and S.H.I.N.E. Along the way, she's identified 5 essential steps every leader and team can take to immediately level UP their leadership. It's the framework behind her most requested keynote, where she gives audiences a practical roadmap for leading with courage, connection, and unstoppable confidence. In her TEDx talk, "Don't Waste a Minute, Shine Right Now," Meredith inspires audiences to take fast, committed action, showing up powerfully so they can lead and SHINE after adversity. She's frequently hired by associations and corporations as a Motivational Speaker, Emcee, and Leadership Trainer, and she loves nothing more than teaching clients how to build the kind of courage that gets them seen, heard, and remembered as leaders. Meredith is also an accomplished multimedia expert and seasoned TV journalist who found her passion for storytelling working for FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN. For over a decade, she's hosted The Meredith TV Talk Show, helping others share their stories of overcoming adversity and finding the courage to S.H.I.N.E. You can catch her Los Angeles based show on The Motivation and Success TV Network, Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon TV. Meredith's own story of overcoming adversity, The Magic in Change, has been featured in several magazines and on Amazon Prime's TV show Speak Up. When she's not on the road teaching audiences how to S.H.I.N.E., you'll find her attempting to become a roller "dancer" on skates or chasing sunsets on the beach with her husband, son, and rescue puppy Pepper.
