What Do Australian Audiences Expect From A Motivational Speaker?

A motivational talk is really a show.

You have to be able to entertain, inform and inspire an audience.

Why?

Because we are all competing with entertaining, informing and inspiring content at our fingertips. Yes, on our smartphones. The stakes to keep people's attention are now much higher.

But you don't have to be
-an entertainer to entertain.
-a guru to inform
-Tony Robbins to inspire

You just have to be willing to be vulnerable and speak with honesty.

Take to the stage with the intent to serve and help the audience, not to gratify yourself (I was once guilty of this).

Then use all the tools available to us - funny images, funny videos, music and much more - to strengthen and bring your topic to life.

You can do this.
