Some companies believe, incorrectly, that hiring a person to speak at their event is a waste of time. They’ve heard it all before because they’ve been to hundreds of events, so they don’t believe they need to spend money. However, a keynote motivational business speaker can be the highlight of your event, especially if you choose someone professional and qualified.
The Pres/Vice Pres Of The Company Is Funny
The first reason that people think they don’t need a professional is because their president or vice president can wow the crowd (or they think they can). They can motivate just as well as the next guy, and they do it all the time. However, you’re probably hosting the event because motivation is lacking, so why consider the same-old, same-old that hasn’t been working for the past few months?
Just Google It/Phone It In
A keynote motivational business speaker doesn’t just phone it in. They take the time to prepare for the audience and ensure that their timing is right. Yes, you can send any employee up on stage with googled quotes that are designed to inspire and motivate, but that won’t accomplish the same thing as a professional. They can read the crowd, see if their speech is working, and change it when necessary.
People Can’t Change
Another misconception is that people can’t or won’t change, no matter what the incentive. While there are people like that in the world and some may be working for you, most people are just resistant to change. You can still boost their morale and encourage them in new ways to do a little more and be more productive. Everyone needs to be motivated at some point, and after a while, the CEO or manager isn’t enough.
