Who Is The Best Motivational Keynote Speaker Today?

By Thomas Bennett


Very few speakers can capture the attention of a crowd and deliver a memorable speech that will inspire the gathering for day, weeks and even months to come. Your target when looking for a motivational keynote speaker should be to find such a person. There are many names floated on different platforms but some are just hyped. How do you separate these names and identify the best?

Hire a person based on his portfolio. Speakers who are confident about their services openly display their qualification and experience. This could be on websites or from a list of applicants. You may also seek a referral from a person or organization that recently hired a guest. Go for the trained and experienced speaker who can effectively handle different subjects and a diverse audience. Such persons easily meet your expectations.

Specialist speakers deliver the best in conferences. The aim of hiring a guest is to crystallize the deliberations of the conference. As such, he or she must understand the basics of your organization and the field you operate. There are excellent speakers specializing in education, religion, business, etc. Contact one of them based on your theme and composition of the audience.

A guest who mingles freely with the audience is preferred. Motivation requires a bit of one-on-one interactions. These interactions can only happen when the guest is down to earth and ready to meet his audience. As such, he or she should not just pop in, make statement and leave. The guest should be ready to sign autographs, answer personal questions and generally interact with the audience.

A good speaker must command authority from the audience. This calls for people whose achievements are envied by the participants and therefore gives them an opportunity to learn. Such people must have overcome ordinary challenges faced by participants. The people who fit this bill are business leaders, top sales persons, CEOs, accomplished sports personalities, etc. They have practical experiences to share with the audience.

A good speech requires preparation. Identify a speaker who is known to prepare a speech to ensure that it has an impact. Preparation means understanding the theme of your conference and personal journeys of participants. The speech made should resonate with the challenges participants encounter in the course of their work. Preparation involves advance consultation to address the needs of your listeners.

It is not about the speaker but the audience. Some speakers are so self centered that they add no value to the lives of their listeners. They pass as boastful and attend conferences to promote their agenda. They also take over the event and begin promoting their merchandise. To avoid such conflicts of interest, brief your guest on what to expect. If such expectations cannot be met, look for an alternative.

The kind of speech delivered is determined by when a guest is slatted to deliver it. When delivered at the beginning, it sets the agenda or tone of the conference. In between the conference, it reignites enthusiasm in the theme or debate. When a speech closes a conference, it is meant to conclude discussions and provide the points to ponder until the next gathering.
