How to Give a Motivational Speech - Public Speaking Video Lecture - Public

[Music]
so how do you give an effective
motivational speech let's step out what
does that really mean
because in a sense everybody's a
motivational speaker everyone when
they're speaking is trying to motivate
people to do something your mother might
be trying to motivate you to clean up
your room
that's a motivational speech so it
doesn't matter if you're giving a
financial presentation a pitch for new
investors we're all trying to motivate
people to do something the key is you
have to connect with people at an
emotional level and not just a factual
level now what we think of as the
typical motivational speaker the Anthony
Robbins style someone who's talking
about big general issues and life how to
have goals set goals reach your goals
the whole key is you've got to have
compelling compelling stories to flesh
out the points otherwise your advice can
seem generic because let's face it most
motivational speakers all say the same
thing have goals align yourself with
people who are hardworking and more
successful than you were figuring out
what other people did to be successful
and duplicate that stick to your goals
no matter hard it is everyone says the
same thing you're gonna sound boring and
cliched if you just say the same thing
in the abstract the real power of a
motivational speaker is doing it in a
way that's so compelling and so
memorable that it really has an impact
the best stories of all are going to be
about how you personally overcame
adversity what was it you did and why is
that lesson transferable but sometimes
you can use other people's examples even
someone like Anthony Robbins who has a
million motivational stories about his
own life will still tell the story of
Sylvester Stallone and how down-and-out
and poor he was how he had to sell his
own dog to live and survive all this
before he had his breakthrough movie
rocky and all he
did to keep control over that so even
someone with a wealth of personal
stories can still tell other people's
stories if you do it effectively the key
is you need vivid details you need the
setting you need the emotions you need
the dialogue that's what will make your
motivational speech actually succeed by
motivating your audience
