A motivational presentation aims to change attitudes and behavior, requiring the speaker to engage the audience and make the topic relevant. The presenter should be energetic and adapt examples to the audience, while engaging them through conversation and humor.
A motivational presentation is a presentation that attempts to change people’s attitudes and behavior, rather than just communicating specific information. It requires the speaker to show their own motivation and engage the audience. Techniques that can accomplish this goal include conversational style, interacting with the audience, and relating the topic to the situation and the listener’s own experiences.
Given the subject, it is important to make a good impression when giving a motivational presentation. The speaker must be alert, energetic, confident and enthusiastic. If he stumbles over words due to lack of preparation, fails to convey enthusiasm for the performance, the audience will not be engaged. A tip for presenters is to be careful about overdoing it: it’s better to sound natural rather than getting so excited that it distracts from the message.
The speaker should try to make a motivational presentation as relevant as possible to the audience. When talking to an interest group or company employees, the speaker should adapt examples to their line of work. For example, it makes no sense to talk about the importance of smart decision making for assembly line workers who are told what to do all day. The people organizing the event may have different motivations for the audience. Junior employees are unlikely to respond very well if all the focus is on how they can help the company earn greater profits. Instead, the speaker may need to focus on emotions, for example explaining how working smarter can reduce stress or wasted effort.
The presenter should not be afraid to engage with the audience so that it feels more like an event than a lecture. Asking for examples and ideas during the speech will get people thinking more about the presentation and how it relates to their own lives and work. If someone raises an issue or asks a completely off-topic question, it should be addressed briefly or kept to the end of the speech.
The audience will have varying attitudes towards the presentation of the motivation. Some may be enthusiastic, while others will be more cynical. This is often due to the mindset people have when they approach the situation of being in an audience listening to a formal presentation. The speaker can try to combat this by being more conversational, using humor and engaging the audience in a comfortable, more casual way.
