A Spotlight on the 2026 Winners

“Being named two of the 2026 Real Leaders Top Impact Speakers is an incredible honor,” said Wes & Cindy Dove. “Our mission has always been to leave audiences with practical transformation, not just motivation.

Setting a New Standard for Speakers

Now in its inaugural year for impact-specific speaker recognition, the Real Leaders Top Impact Speakers ranking uses its proprietary Real Leaders® STAR Evaluation Scorecard that awards points to Speakers of Transformation, Authority, and Reach (STAR). Calculating their speaker fees, speeches per year, community size, and impact all into one score.

In an era where organizations need more than motivation, these speakers are delivering clarity, action, and results.

“Real Leaders exist to celebrate the achievements of the leaders who are inspiring better business for a better world,” said Kevin Edwards, CEO of Real Leaders. “The 2026 winners demonstrate that influence on stage is not about fame — it’s about responsibility, transformation, and the courage to speak for what matters.”
