Moreover, among them all, the most purposeful use of the art of the speech is to employ it to drive those around you. To emanate optimism and positivity and be technically informed at the same time is a trait that only few innately possess and one that fewer have mastered. However, there are certain ways in which one can inculcate these values and traits as part of one’s personality in order to become a successful business motivational speaker. Here are a few:

  1. Start with yourself
    One cannot expect to spread optimism up and about themselves if they themselves possess a pessimistic approach towards life. It is important to look for the positive in every situation at hand. This, of course, does not imply that one is to look for an exaggerated silver lining every step of the way. But it is important to serve yourself a dose of the right mix of positivity and realism in order to produce the right outlook to anything that life confronts you with.

2.                  Listen to be listened to
For a speaker, the audience is the almighty. He/she has to be extremely receptive to what the addressee wants or what he/she has to say.

Relate your everyday to the positive changes that you are trying to bring about in people around you. They are best taken seriously when your addressees see a human touch that they can relate to.

4.                  Think twice before you say anything

Considering how many people you might possibly have an impact on, it is of utmost importance that you as a business motivational speaker filter what you might want to say and what you don’t.

5.                  Picturing reality given different situations
It is important for any inspiring motivational speaker to have foresight and have an essential understanding of how the future might pan out given that one follows that you prescribe as a motivational speaker. For example, if you happen to prescribe a calendar solution for one to be more organized, it is important that you as a speaker are able to measure and foresee the outcome of this solution. This is what legitimizes you as a speaker.
