What a good keynote speaker can do for your convention

Good keynote speakers understand what they are supposed to do for your audience.

Professional speakers know you have a goal for your meeting and want to help you achieve that goal. In addition to being funny, provocative or interesting, they want to help you tee up your meeting for success.

Sales training meetings, conventions and political conventions all start with a theme. Meeting themes can be based on almost anything from political campaigns to sporting events or the even the location of the event.

The goal of the keynote speaker is to kick off the event by weaving the meeting theme or slogan into their keynote speech. Once I was asked to find a way to include a puzzle piece into my keynote presentation. Puzzled? The company built a large puzzle on the main stage and their theme for their meeting was “find the missing piece.”

Good keynote speakers are anxious to give you exactly what you want for your convention or meeting. So take the time to really clue them in on what you want. Make executives, sales managers, marketing and engineering people available to them prior the meeting.

Once a good keynote speaker knows what you are trying to achieve, their keynote presentation will kick off your meeting on a high note and keep your audience focused for the rest of the event.

Motivational Speaker – what makes a great one?

FirstFoldSEO.com — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 01:44:16 +0000

There are literally thousands of motivational speakers today who stand on stage and share their information with a desire to contribute in a positive way to the lives of others. So what separates the average motivational speaker from the great ones?
There are many traits, attributes and abilities that most motivational speakers possess. It isn’t the traits or abilities that make the great ones great but how they engage and connect with their audiences that make them stand out from the pack.
Three traits come to mind when we think about those motivational speakers we remember for years after we have heard them. It wasn’t their fame, style, humor, or any other common factor that caused them to have a permanent and lasting imprint on our heart or mind. It was simply their unique ability to connect heart to heart with every member of their audience.
At the end of the day you will feel like you have had a private conversation with the motivational speaker regardless of the size of the audience.

Charlotte Motivational Speaker Mike Hourigan is available to hold a motivational speech at your next sales management training meeting.

Motivational Speaker – a Noble Profession

FirstFoldSEO.com — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:20:41 +0000

Motivational speakers have changed the lives of millions of people for the better by sharing their experience, lessons and wisdom gained over the years.
We all agree the world could be a better place but I wonder what the world would be today without motivational speakers? It would be a very different place filled with negativity, pessimism and unlearned lessons. Motivational speaking is not an easy profession because it takes just the right blend of patience, courage, authenticity and a willingness to serve others to achieve success. I’ll bet during your life you have heard one, read one of their books or been in a conversation with a friend about a message that changed their life or your life for the better.
Few people have the ability to stand in front of an audience and share their vulnerability with a room full of total strangers. Think this is easy? Try it some time. Public speaking is the number one fear of all humans, therefore those brave souls who stand on stage and share their knowledge with the world with the sole intent of helping others makes motivational speaking a truly noble profession. Mike Hourigan is a keynote speaker and a motivational speaker who has held motivational speeches in all major cities in the united states. He has held motivational speeches in Chicago, he has been a keynote speaker in Las Vegas on several occasions and the list goes on.

Few Motivational Speakers are Legends

FirstFoldSEO.com — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 21:18:09 +0000

Motivational speakers have stood on stage sharing their wisdom and compassion with audiences for years. However, of all these motivational speakers there are a few who stand out as genuine legends or truly great orators. Three in particular are: Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, Jim Rohn and Og Mandino. These motivational speakers stand head and shoulders above the crowd because of their humility, passion and willingness to serve others.
Charlie “Tremendous” Jones was the kind of motivational speaker who audiences loved for his “in your face” presentations. Charlie would grab audience members by the arms and shake them or punch them in the arm for effect and his audiences loved him for it. His audiences trusted him like no other motivational speaker and gave him the permission to enter their personal space.
As a motivational speaker, Jim Rohn was the complete opposite of Charlie; he did not exude the on stage energy of Charlie and certainly never physically touched any of his audience. But, Jim could mesmerize people and keep them on the edge of their chairs through inflection, pause, and thought provoking concepts.
Og Mandino was a master of the plot twist and the surprise ending and his stories have been told and retold. But what endeared Og to his audiences was his gracious nature and desire to deliver his wisdom to the audience.
Yes, there have been many others who have emulated these motivational speakers, copied them and even attempted to ride on the heels of these great talents. But, very few motivational speakers have earned the international respect and renowned reputation that these few so rightly deserve.
The reason – these great motivational speakers came to the stage with a simple philosophy and not only preached it but have lived it as well. The components of that philosophy are humility, compassion and the ability to make the audience the benefactor of their message.

Motivational Speaker vs. Professional Speaker

FirstFoldSEO.com — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 14:03:55 +0000

Are all professional speakers motivational speakers?

What distinguishes a professional speaker from a motivational speaker? There are many professional speakers who call themselves motivational speakers; but only a few can carry out the mission of imparting knowledge so audience members leave and immediately implement what they have learned. That is the crucial distinction. Many professional speakers or keynote speakers entertain, make you laugh, make you cry and fill you with array of emotions. However, only a few speakers can lead you to take what you have heard and incorporate it in your daily life, in your work and in your play. That is a true motivational speaker!
