Becoming A Professional Motivational Speaker
What separates a professional motivational speaker from an
ordinary guy? Mostly it's just studying the basics and
practicing the established techniques of an established,
successful professional motivational speaker. Unless you are
that one in a million type of person who can just wing it on
stage and hold a large audience of people captive with the
strength of your personality and the power of your voice, you
must learn the basics before you begin to speak publicly. These
naturals exist, that but they are few and far between and, truth
be told, they've practiced and rehearsed even that seemingly
relaxed, improvisational style. Most people take the time to
learn the basics. Here are some to start with:
Audience awareness Many beginners are so concerned with their
appearance and the way they come off that they pay absolutely no
attention to who they are talking to. The better you know your
audience the better chances you have of being accepted by them
Content You can be charming and have the voice of an angel, but
after a few minutes, if you don't start speaking about something
the audience wants to hear, you'll be ignored until you stop.
Test your equipment Fiddling with microphones, slide
presentations and such is the true sign of a nervous amateur and
someone who will not be listened to.
Preparation Stumbling over your speech
and being unfamiliar with
your subject material is a sure way to be ignored.
Be humorous Unless you are a stand up comedian brought in to
relax the audience you want to use some humor in your speaking
but not so much as to detract from your message.
Be approachable Getting in and out of an event fast is a good
way to be forgotten. Take the time to meet people, and talk with
them. That way they'll pay more attention to you when you speak
and they'll remember you when you're done.
There are so many things you have to learn to become a
professional motivational speaker. You have to look right, sound
right, act right and say the right things to be accepted as
someone worthy of being listened to. It takes time and hard work
studying and practicing the lessons of an established
professional motivational speaker before you can be accepted on
your own. When that happens, then you can formulate your own
teaching program and instruct others how to duplicate your own
success.
