Public Speaking Skills Training: Motivational Public Speaking Skills Training

Public speaking is as old as the very societies we live in: for centuries well chosen words have been used as tools to motivate, inspire and persuade. Today it is without doubt an art form. A good inspirational or motivational speaker always seeks to emulate the best speeches from history as well as fiction. A great speech is unforgettable, and its content and wording will be carried forward long into the future by its audience. It is the presence or absence of this effect that differentiates a great motivational speaker from a mediocre one.

Presentation is as important to a good motivational speaker as the words themselves. The art of public speaking involves the ability to present one's ideas with conviction and belief, instilling confidence in the audience. A good motivational speaker will always engage their audience using eye contact and perhaps gestures. They will keep their speech and intonation varied and interesting, using pauses appropriately and never rely on notes. Being able to speak fluidly without reliance on notes demonstrates conviction and belief in one's own words and increases the audience's belief in what a speaker is saying.

Rhetorical techniques, which a listener untrained or unused to public speaking may not even notice, reinforce the ideas being expressed. It is no accident that the most famous speeches use lists of threes or repetition. For example consider Winston Churchill's 'We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them...' speech. Emotive language and personal references, too, are intentionally inserted into speeches to invite empathy from audiences; a classic example of this is Martin Luther King's speech in which he referred repeatedly to his dream.

The use of these techniques is what really makes a great motivational speaker. Anyone can have a great idea that they believe others should subscribe to, but inspiring, motivating and persuading others may not be easy. This is why many businesses and educational establishments hire specially trained motivational speakers who have studied these public speaking skills training techniques.
