HOW TO CREATE A POWERFUL

MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH

DO YOU HAVE ALL

THE VIRTUES

THAT A KEYNOTE,

FUNNY,

INSPIRATIONAL

OR

MOTIVATIONAL

SPEAKER

POSSESS?

Anyway, aside

from

developing

these virtues,

YOU HAVE

TO LEARN

HOW TO DRAFT

A SPEECH.

HERE ARE SOME PREPARATION TIPS FOR

YOUR FIRST SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT:

IDENTIFY YOUR AUDIENCE

DO YOU LOVE SURPRISES? WELL, CAN YOU

TOLERATE IT ESPECIALLY ON YOUR DEBUT

SPEAKING EVENT?

I F YOU ’RE CONF IDENT ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR SK I L L S , THEN YOU CAN SK I P TH I S ONE .

FOR THOSE WHO DON’T, THEN TAKE TIME TO KNOW

YOUR AUDIENCE –

*AGE BRACKET,

*GENDER,

*PROFESSION

AND

*POSITION

MAKE SURE TO TAILOR YOUR TONE OF VOICE

DEPENDING ON YOUR AUDIENCE.

KNOW YOUR GOAL

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR

SPEECH?

I S IT TO INSP IRE, MOTIVATE, HEAL, OR ENTERTAIN?

HAVING A TARGET GOAL IS THE BEST WAY TO

ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS AND MAKE YOUR SPEECH

SMOOTH FLOWING.

THOUGH YOU CAN MAKE IT FREE FLOWING AND

NATURAL-SOUNDING, BUT IF YOU’RE NOT YET

EXPERIENCED, YOU MIGHT END UP LOSING YOUR

THOUGHTS ALONG THE WAY.

BE HONEST

SAY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, EVEN IF

IT MIGHT HURT THEIR FEELINGS.K E E P I N M I N D T H AT Y O U A R E T H E R E , S P E A K I N G I N F R O N T O F A H U G E

C R O W D TO P R O V I D E A N I N S P I R AT I O N , A N D E N L I G H T E N M E N T.

BE AWARE OF THE PREVAILING SITUATION;

OR IF THERE’S ANY PROBLEM

THAT NEEDS TO BE SETTLED,

BASE YOUR SPEECH THERE.

BE CREATIVE IN GIVING ADVICE.

THOUGH YOU HAVE TO APPEAR PERSUASIVE

AND PUSHY, STILL THINK OF NICE WAY

TO DELIVER IT WITHOUT THEM

NOTICING IT.

SHARE YOUR HEART

IT’S NEVER EASY TO ESTABLISH

CONNECTION.Y O U H AV E TO M A K E Y O U R A U D I E N C E F E E L Y O U R S I N C E R I T Y, A N D T H AT

Y O U C A N U N D E R S TA N D T H E I R S I T U AT I O N ( W H AT E V E R I T M AY B E ) .

TO DO THIS, YOU CAN SHARE

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT THEY

CAN RELATE TO. IF YOU CAN

SUCCESSFULLY MAKE THEM

FEEL YOUR HEART,

THE NEXT THING YOU’LL KNOW IS

THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

TOUCHED THEIRS.

PREPARATION

DOESN’T AND MUSTN’T

LIMIT THE SCOPE OF

YOUR SPEECH,

RATHER JUST A WAY

TO ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS TO

MAKE IT POIGNANT.
