Adding a motivational speaker to your next corporate event offers a great opportunity to create a fun, entertaining, and highly motivating experience for everyone involved.

It is also a highly effective way to create positive change or encourage professional growth and development within your organization.

In many ways, hiring a corporate motivational speaker is the next – and most critical – step on your climb to scaling new heights as a company. The quality of the speaker and their presentation can have a huge impact on your organization’s ability to bring about significant change.

Take Time to Get to Know the Speaker

Any experienced corporate motivational speaker will have a selection of videos and snippets of presentations online for you to review before you even interview them. These are usually found on the speaker’s own website or on social media platforms such as LinkedIn. Most of the top motivational speakers also have presentations or parts of their presentations on YouTube.

Take the time to watch these videos to see if the speaker was able to connect with their audiences and what their response to the presentation was like. Ask yourself, is the tone and language of their presentations something that would be suitable for your event?

Find Out About Customization

Typically, companies want to hire a corporate motivational speaker that customizes the presentations to meet their goals or objectives for the training or event. Some motivational speakers have one or two speeches they present with limited deviation from the “same old” script. Other motivational speakers are more than willing to work with your company to refine the message using personal examples and stories that will resonate with your audience.
