Why Public Motivational Speaking Is So Popular

By Walter White


Thousands upon thousands of events every year feature someone who is supposed to motivate the audience. It may be an athlete, somebody that overcame a horrible trauma triumphantly, or somebody that succeeded against all odds, to name just a few examples. Their stories and experiences are told to inspire the rest of the people, to tell them that there is always hope and that they must never give up. In fact, public motivational speaking is big business indeed.

News channels often feature the stories of individuals that survived amazing, horrific or scary events. Many of them are then asked to tell their stories in person in front of audiences, on television programs and over the radio. People are interested to know how such individuals managed to cope with the experience they went through and they hope to learn from that person. Unfortunately many people are not able to communicate effectively.

Amateur motivating speakers may have a great message to convey, but they often do not know how to do it effectively. They are expected to appear in front of large audiences, television and radio to tell there stories without knowing the many tricks and techniques that are routinely used by experienced speakers. But where are they to find professional help.

There are numerous websites that offer training, advice and tips on how to effectively address an audience and how to obtain a favourable response. The ability to address a group or a meeting with confidence is an asset that will not only be of value to those addressing large crowds and the media. Everyone will benefit from better presentation and conversational skills because everyone will have to address strangers at some times.

Many speakers are only active for a short while because they have a specific message and once they feel that they have delivered that message they disappear. Money others, however, have turned speeches for motivating people into brand new careers. There are many different types of speakers. Celebrities, sports stars, big businessmen and pioneers are just a few examples. They all have one thing in common, however. They believe that people can become inspired by them.

Some of the top rated speakers demand fees that can easily be as high as a hundred thousand dollars per event. They are in very high demand and their services must be booked months or sometimes even years in advance. Many of these successful speakers augment their careers with the publication of books, blogs, videos and workshops. In many cases a new book, for example, will even serve to blow new life into the speaking career of the author.

There can be no doubt that the presence of a top notch speaker adds prestige and sparkle to any event. There are many critics, however. They say that these speakers repeat the same old message over and over again. They turn ordinary events into miracles and they make people believe that they have achieved extraordinary things. This is simply not the case, argues critics. People may be inspired by such speakers, but only for a very short time.

Everyone has to address groups from time to time. Those with the ability to inspire and motivate are much more likely to achieve their goals. The good news is that almost anyone can learn how to speak with confidence and conviction.
