Things You'll Need:
- A Positive Attitude
- An Audience
- Coffee
- Social Skills
- Psychological Intuition
- Psychological Observations
- Psychological Rules
-
Step 1
Begin by offering your audience a free cup of coffee and other energy drinks to ensure you will have their awakened attention.
-
Step 2
Know your audience and know why they are there to see you. Knowing this key information will provide you with the foundation on which you will build your motivational argument.
-
Step 3
Regardless of the issues your audience faces, your sole objective is a positive attitude. When you have a positive attitude you can convey and sell almost anything to almost anyone who is in the market for that product or service.
-
Step 4
If you are selling the idea of self-worth to people, you must provide stories and examples to support the value of self-worth. If you are trying to convey the idea of success, you must provide stories and examples of successful people. Stay positive and, most important of all, remember that you do not want to be the ultimate moron in the motivational speaker world!
-
Step 5
The ultimate moron in the world of motivational speakers is the moron who uses lots of oxygen and still does not achieve the goal of reciprocated motivation from the audience. In this manner, the biggest oxymoron in motivational speaking is the "Depressed Motivational Speaker"!
