What Does it Take to Be an Event Host and Motivational Speaker?

By Craig Thomas


Do you need help organizing and planning an upcoming event? Consider a motivational speaker and an event planner. Motivational speakers can inspire a sales team to reach a goal or encourage a team of leaders to inspire others. Motivational speakers are common at events before or after an awards show to set the tone of the event. With a little training and experience, becoming a motivational speaker and event host is not that difficult.

Practice Writing. Writing skills are essential to becoming an oratory speaker. Good writing skills prepare motivational speakers for performances in the public sphere. Classes will help speakers "find their voice" and use life experiences to capture the attention of the audience.

How Does a Person Train for an Event Host or Motivational Speaker Position? Experts suggest taking a Toastmasters class to learn and fine tune presentation skills. Practice makes perfect. Motivational speakers who give numerous public speeches and receive professional feedback become better with practice. Writing also helps to develop public speaking skills. Vocabulary improves and clients learn to speak proper English through writing. Arguments and storytelling also improve through writing. Consider a class to address both your speaking and writing skills.

Host Your Own Event or Become a Motivational Speaker. Some event hosts are skilled enough to also be motivational speakers at events. Event hosts may practice motivational speaking by attending Toastmasters classes and practicing in front of their peers. These classes also fine tune speech writing skills to improve the overall performance of an orator.

Motivational speaking and event hosting can be a rewarding career. Proper education and experience will prepare people who choose this career path. Consider the demands and requirements for event hosts and motivational speakers prior to committing to this profession.
