How Motivational Speakers Can Boost Your Life Experience

By Claude Glenda Knapp


Everyone knows that effort and enthusiasm are needed to achieve success. Strict discipline is of utmost importance when one is working towards a goal. We all know the importance of keeping a positive state of mind in life. We are aware of most of these issues but we still find that in many places around the world there will be a motivational speaker repeating them to us. A good number of us ask ourselves whether it is of any use to us or it is just a means of getting a job for the speaker.

To reply the question of how important motivational speakers are we need to find out what it is that they do and of what value it is to us. If we look at motivational speaking as a session to be taught we will have misunderstood it and its purpose. This is because motivational speakers are not teachers but they are more of coaches. Teaching involves imparting new knowledge while coaching involves the sharpening of already existing skills. This explains why many motivational speakers are also life coaches. With a better understanding of what a motivational speaker does we are better placed to asses their services.

As we have already established, motivational speakers have more in common with coaches than they have with teachers. This is because their work has more in common with the work of a coach. The motivational speaker hardly brings in new ideas but will instead often work with what you already know. Their main purpose is to find out your strengths and help with enhance all of your abilities. The two main objectives of motivational speaking are to impart faith and inspiration. Being inspired means one has the need to rise above hindrances and have a passion for success.

Inspiration gives strength and resilience in dealing with challenges as well as an urge to see things through to their successful completion. Believing that something is possible is what faith is all about. It is what gives us the strength to try and also do our best while at it. Believers are in most cases achievers. Success or failure is sometimes said to depend on whether or not we had faith in what we do.

Rather than teach new things, the purpose of the motivational speaker is to bring out what is inside of you. When others point out our capabilities that they have realized we possess, and we get to hear of the achievements of those we share the same background it starts a fire within us that causes us to strive to become achievers. Motivational speakers have the ability to get through to us and reveal our huge potential that we had previously ignored. Moving forward we can go into each day with a fresh boost of energy coupled with an enthusiastic focus on life. A motivational speaker not only brings out what is inside of us that can help us to succeed, but also helps us realize the need of creating motivational stories from our own lives that would uplift others to great achievements in their own lives.
