Whether you’re holding a corporate away day, a university open day or other event where staff or students will be present, hiring a motivational keynote speaker is a great way to enhance motivation and encourage positivity. Here are five ways that motivational speakers can help your corporate event.
#1. Inspire the inexperienced
If you’re holding an educational event such as a university open day, a motivational keynote speaker can really help to inspire those starting out, particularly if the keynote speaker has experience in the area in question. Make sure you hire someone whose positive approach and experience is really relevant to your event and students/employees.
#2. Bring about personal transformation
If you’re looking to not only inspire those attending your event, but also help them to transform the way they work and their personalities, then a motivational speaker could really help! Just by listening to someone persuasive and knowledgeable, people can be inspired to bring about change in the way they look at things and the way they relate to other people.
#3. Convince staff of positive results
A motivational keynote speaker is great for presenting information with a positive spin – for example, persuading staff why a new training course is a great idea. By hiring someone whose abilities lie in public speaking, you can be sure that they will present your ideas and information in the most positive light possible!
#4. Make dull topics interesting
If your event isn’t likely to be the most interesting – for example, if you’re holding an away day for accountants or tax office employees – a motivational speaker is the perfect way to spice things up a little! The enthusiasm and positivity brought by the speaker will enliven even the dullest subjects, making them interesting for everyone.
#5. Encourage future planning
By talking about their own experiences and relating to your staff or students, a keynote speaker can encourage them to plan their futures and their next steps, after the event or away day. This is particularly useful for training courses, to ensure that employees leave feeling inspired and ready to move forward into the world of work!
There are many ways in which motivational speakers can be of benefit to your corporate event – these are just a few ideas to get you started!
