I Don’t Know What To Say - Lessons From a Motivational Speaker

change keynote speaker motivational speaker resilience

Most of my life when I didn’t know what to say

I said nothing

and I always felt bad

I knew the better man in me should step up.

But then I heard comedian Jimmy Carr say

What do you say when you don’t know what to say….

“I don’t know what to say but I just want you to know I’m thinking of you”

Now I know what to say

I text it to people when I hear they’ve lost their job

I say it at funerals face to face

It’s not perfect but it’s better than ignoring people when they really want to feel they’re not facing their trial alone

If we haven’t met yet…

I never considered myself good at change until I went from

-free-range kid to army sniper

-home movies to National Geographic cameraman

-fumbling card tricks to a professional magician

-never swinging a hammer to building a home

-high school dropout to published author

-business illiterate to building & selling a business

-stutterer to motivational speaker

Turns out I know how to change, I know how to make it simple, and I know how to stand on stage & make it fun so others want to do it too.
