I am a speaker who does one thing properly: keynotes. I could do everything on the list, and for years I did. Now I do this, and I do it better than I did when I was doing all of it. I am professional. If that is what you need, we should talk. If it is not, I will point you at someone good.

Use this if you have deliberately narrowed what you do. It reads as confidence, not limitation.

[Business name] — speaker in [your area], professional. Keynotes, workshops and panels. I give the bio in a version written to be read aloud. Appointments available. Check availability.

Use this where the format is rigid and you have maybe forty words.

[Full name] founded [business name] in [year] after [number] years working for [someone else].
