Our Story
From a simple idea to a global platform for thought leadership
The BSA Journey
The BSA Speakers Bureau was founded in 2019 by communications professional Dr. Celeste Bishop Stein, as an offshoot of the Bishop, Stein & Associates Public Relations, Inc. Consultancy. Over the years, the company worked with hundreds of individuals, non-profit organizations, and corporations for more than two decades before adapting to the changing landscape being brought on via new media technology like artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality.
Dr. Stein noticed that many experts with groundbreaking ideas struggled to communicate effectively outside of their specialized fields. What started as individual media coaching sessions quickly evolved into a comprehensive speaker development program and speaker placements with organizations seeking transformative insights as demand increased.
Today, the BSA Speakers Bureau operates globally with a team of dedicated coaches, content developers, and relationship managers.
