Things a Motivational Speaker Should Know

If you’re like most people, you could use a little help with being a better motivational speaker. In this clip from VideoJug, Simon Bucknall, winner of the 2008 European Championship of Public Speaking, gives you several helpful tips on how you can better connect with your audience. Check this video out, because what he tells you is likely not what you’d expect! Rather than talking about developing a specific style or using certain tricks, Bucknall instead highlights the importance of getting to know your audience, what drives them, and what prevents them from succeeding. He explains how you can do just that. It’s good advice, given that empathy is the true basis of connecting with people, and having it will better enable you to guide people toward a more positive result.
