3 mandatory elements of truly motivational speeches Speakers deliver motivational speeches for one reason: to provide the insight, guidance and encouragement people need to achieve a defined goal.  For a B2B company, that goal might be taking risks to innovate and then launch an exciting new product – or responding fast to build on momentum gained in a niche market. Motivational speeches have three mandatory elements that you, as the speaker, must weave into every motivational speech you deliver. Let’s look at each one. https://lnkd.in/gbzgNNyr #B2B #MotivationalSpeeches #MotivationalSpeakers #KeynoteSpeeches #ExecutiveCommunications #Speechwriter

Want to make your leader shine on any stage? Begin with the end in mind! 1) In the end – when the speech is over – what must be DIFFERENT for your leader? How will your leader BENEFIT from the engagement? Make sure the speech is structured to DELIVER THAT BENEFIT. 2) In the end – when the speech is over – what must be DIFFERENT for the audience? Will the speech change the way the audience THINKS? Or the way the audience BEHAVES? Know and define THE END GAME upfront. https://lnkd.in/gZivBzWQ #ExecutiveCommunications #Leaders #Communicators #Communications #Comms #Speeches
