Many of us call ourselves motivational speakers without ever really giving serious thought to how we motivate others. We simply relay information, and that has no impact. We must give our audience the courage and desire to act on what we have told them. The information alone has no emotion, no feeling. It is flat.
So how do we take them from hearing this information, to really getting excited about it and adopting it? How do we go from simply being a teacher to a teacher with impact?
Think back to the teachers that stood out in your life. What did they have or do that the others didn’t?
