If you want to be a great motivational speaker the good news is you have fantastic role models all over
the world put them right in front of you there at your fingertips.
All you have to do is type names on YouTube and you can see great motivational speakers doing what they
do best speaking so that your homework here go to YouTube.
Type in motivational speakers.
If you have those you already like type them in and look at them and look at a whole range look at the
other the Robins the Zig Ziglar says look it's left wing ones right wing that non-religious ones draw
Joel Olstein is a fantastic speaker whether you agree with his message or not.
So I would urge you really study the craft of what they do look at how they frame their arguments their
stories more important than arguments and motion and study how they pause the best speakers in the world
typically pause the most.
That doesn't mean you can just come out say nothing for five minutes and walk off.
But I want you to look at every single thing about how they come across.
Look at the ones you like the most and then watch that video.
Maybe five six times you'll learn something new each time when you're not listening to the words carefully.
Look at how they use the whole stage.
I saw Zig Ziglar a few years before he passed away on a stage in front of 15000 people a huge arena
in New Jersey and he was a master at the stage who used every inch of the stage of his height.
There was just constant variation in how he looked how he moved and how he sounded.
You can learn from that even if you think the message was full of baloney.
So that's your homework.
Spend some time on YouTube.
Seek out the best.
Seek out people you don't think are the best and you know what.
Learn from the worst too.
I urge you type in Chris Farley Saturday Night Live at personation of motivational speaker and you'll
see something hilarious and it's usually mocking sort of the worst aspects of motivational speakers.
That's your homework right now.
Find some speakers cross range and then come up with two or three who are absolute favorite.
Try to watch every speech they've given.
