The Best Motivational Keynote Speaker

By Thomas Bennett


Keynote speeches are supposed to be memorable and captivating to the audience. They also must inspire and be memorable days, weeks, months and years to come. The search for a motivational keynote speaker should therefore consider a person who can deliver such. Since not all speakers fit this description, pick yours wisely to avoid a disastrous conference.

Consider the rating or portfolio of a person when making the choice. Confident speakers show their experience and qualification for all to see. They have offices and websites where such details can be obtained. Education and experience are important because the guest shares practical ideas. A referral may help if you have no idea who to pick. Always ensure that the person can handled your type of audience.

A specialist in your field will deliver a better speech. Guest speakers are supposed to cement the message or theme of deliberations that have been taking place or are expected to take place in a conference. The audience can easily identify with the speech and recall it if the guest displays understanding of issues covered. There are speakers specializing in sports, business, education, etc. Identify one in your niche and invite him to your conference.

Your guest must freely mingle with the audience. One-on-one discussions motivate people because they make your achievements and experiences real. Listeners have a chance to confirm that you are a real person despite your achievements. The ability to freely mingle is also an indication of humility which is enviable to participants. Busy speakers who hop into conferences, make a presentation and pop out in lightening speed should be avoided at all cost.

Look for a person who commands authority. There are people who are gifted speakers but are not held in high regard. To create an impact during your conference, identify a person who your audience looks up to. It could be the best sales man in the industry, an accomplished educationist, CEO, business mogul, etc. People are eager to especially listen to personal experiences by these speakers.

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.

The conference has an own theme or agenda that is not dictated by speaker. It is selfish for a guest to disregard the theme and concerns of participants and use the opportunity to advance own course. Others take the opportunity to brag about their achievements and promote their merchandize. In the process, they derail the agenda of the symposium leading to confusion. Check the background and presentations made by your target guest in other forums. If this is the behavior, be bold enough to look elsewhere.

The purpose of a speech is determined by time allocated to a guest. Guests allocated the beginning of a conference are required to set the tone or agenda. Those who speak in the middle of a conference reignite debate or enthusiasm in the deliberations going on. A guest who closes a conference is expected to sum up deliberations and provide a strand of thoughts that will resonate with the audience until the next gathering.
