We are moving into the Era of Big Ideas and Human Reconnection. As a Motivational Speaker, I have learned one thing above all else.
No audience is interested in ‘Confected facts and figures’
They want inspiration, they want to be motivated. They want mind-shifting insights, and they want to be part of a community, empowered and ready to act. A great speech is like a great film. It moves you, challenges you and inspires you. Here are some of the themes I cover when delivering motivational talks to companies and organizations.
The Power of Words
Words are all powerful. Our national tendency towards negative or officious language acts against our best interests. As an example, one Mayor in Brazil – just by using a simple positive vision started a radical transformation in his city. I will share many examples of how language changes can make a huge difference to energy, purpose and results. I also dare to suggest some that will make an immediate difference.
Don’t start with ‘Where’s the Budget Coming From.
Most of the best initiatives I know were started with no budget whatsoever.
Budgets can restrict what we do, because they often come with preconditions and boxes to be ticked. When I take to the stage, I talk up how human spirit, the power of creativity and our blood, sweat and tears can stretch us to greater heights. Then you become a magnet for money. It is the flip effect. Start with budget and stay within the funder’s guidelines or prove an idea right and attract money without strings.
The Power of Creativity
After my years in the creative industry, I have broken many conventions. You see creatives do not follow rules. Human progress has always come from people who in some way, have broken the rules. From ‘Go to work on an egg’ in the 1960s’ to the ‘Cadbury’s Smash’ adverts in the 80s, creative people know how to engage the human mind. I apply that to my audiences’ needs. I also talk of how children, our greatest creative resource, have helped me to rethink challenges and why big corporates involve children in developing future products and services.
Those who book me as a Motivational Speaker should prepare for some BIG ideas and enough inspiration to power fortune shifts.
