   A good motivational speaker communicates an idea that the audience is interested in: a better job, a better family life, a better financial situation, a better life all around. The motivational speaker speaks to the audience in a way that they all can relate. Another example of a powerful motivational speaker is Maya Angelou.

3. 

   A motivational speaker commands his or her audience. Think of Martin Luther King. He said, what is now a very famous saying, "I have a dream". This is an example of commanding your audience to listen, and promote their desire to follow directions to change.

4. 

   To be a motivational speaker, you must be able to give an audience an experience that they remember. You must be able to touch something inside them that makes them want to hear more. Your presentation must make them want to listen to you and follow your directions. You want to have an impact on your audience. Your topic and presentation have to be powerful.

5. 

   You may have something important and motivational to say, but do not forget your audience. Are you speaking to kids, teens, adults, men women, etc. Does this affect how you present? Identify how best to reach your targeted population. As a note, having a saying or a goal that all populations can relate to can help. For example, Barack Obama's phrase, "Yes we can" crosses all ages, races and gender.
