Inspirational Speakers vs. Motivational Speakers

The main difference between inspirational speakers and motivational speakers is – the former inspires you to make an effort to do new things.

The latter motivates you to improve on things you are already doing. But both Inspirational Keynote Speakers and Motivational Keynote Speakers need to be experts in capturing the audience’s attention, and good in the art of persuasion.

Reasons to employ a Motivational Keynote Speaker -

Companies and organizations are some of the main bodies that require the services of a Motivational Keynote Speaker. Staff in these organizations often requires a boost in their thinking processes. Such a boost results in performance improvement, which in turn positively impacts the company’s productivity and profitability.

The different fields that might need motivation -

Since every company or organization has different areas which may need improvement, the Motivational Keynote Speaker hired should be an expert in the particular field which requires improvement. In areas like sales, technology, education, management, health etc., it is important to hire Speakers who are experts in these areas.

Since the Speakers have to be successful in persuading the staff to give their best performance in their jobs, the Speakers need to bond with the staff and gain their trust. This can only happen if they are truly conversant with the related topic.

The role of the Motivational Keynote Speaker -

If the Speaker is to do his job well, he would first need some input from the company. The Speaker needs to know what the objectives and goals of the company are, and what the company expects from its staff.

When addressing the staff, the Speaker could relate interesting stories, or incidents that have a positive impact. Some Speakers organize puzzles, games, and question and answer sessions. During the question and answer sessions, at times the Speaker is able to clear issue that some of the staff may have as to their working environment, job content, etc.

Helpful advice and tips on how to manage difficult situations, are also all part of the Speaker’s repertoire. In fact, a Motivational Keynote Speaker’s role is very similar to that of a Counselor.
