How can you incorporate storytelling into your motivational speaking?
It’s not just a tale, it’s an experience that you want to share. Something that is real to the audience even if it’s unbelievable. The more you relate to them, the more of their attention you capture. And the emotion being genuine will allow them to support your vision or quest and therefore they’ll not just listen but learn.

You’re struggling to create an engaging presentation. What tools can help you?
While coaching others to prepare for speeches/talks I often hear about how they’re using AI or someone else’s suggested structure. This, in my humble opinion, is a recipe for disaster. Why? Because it lacks the genuine caring and creative element that only you can bring from your heart and experience. The audience can tell. Be yourself and bring your full heart to the stories and the truths will resonate deeply. That’s how to motivate others.

How do you tailor your motivational speech to different industries?
If you're looking for clarity in addressing different audiences, without straying from your core purpose, this is what I've experienced. There are two factors that need to be consistent in your keynote presentation. Your message and your impact. Your message must follow what you're known for and what is being expected by those who took their time to attend, and the team that hired you. That clear, concise message is what they want to hear and you earned the right to repeat it. Second, you have a responsibility to serve the live audience there in front of you. That is a skill in itself because your awareness of "they're not getting it" or "they're totally tracking" is based upon your recognition of the observable response. Research first.
