Unleashing the Power of Motivation: Insights from a Keynote Speaker

Posted by Vince Poscente on Wed, Jun 14, 2023 @ 08:00 AM

F5A56A24-0326-4BB4-80E1-7938756F666F_1_102_oSince the mid-90s, I have had the privilege of being a keynote speaker, sharing my experiences, and inspiring countless individuals and groups to reach their full potential. Motivational speakers play a crucial role in driving positive change, but with the abundance of options available, choosing the right speaker for your event can be a daunting task. In this article, I will share insights and provide valuable tips on selecting the best motivational speaker for your audience.

As an experienced speaker, I have been featured alongside renowned personalities like Zig Ziglar, Mel Robbins, Jim Rohn, Molly Bloom, Michael Gerber, Sally Hogshead, Sean Achor, and Gino Wickman (to name a few).

The Importance of Choosing the Right Motivational Speaker

Motivational speakers possess the ability to ignite passion and empower individuals to overcome obstacles, achieve goals, and unlock their true potential. To ensure the success of your event, it is crucial to choose a speaker who possesses effective communication skills, personal experiences that resonate with the audience, and a profound understanding of human psychology. By carefully considering the following three key factors, you can make an informed decision when selecting a motivational speaker.

Outcome: Inspiring Transformation

One of the primary considerations when choosing a motivational speaker is defining the desired outcome. Ask yourself, what do you want the audience to think, feel, and do after experiencing the speaker's message? Whether it is to inspire innovation, encourage teamwork, or promote personal growth, understanding your desired outcome will help you identify a speaker who aligns with your event's objectives.

Budget: Balancing Investment and Value

Budget is an important practical constraint to consider. While it is crucial to allocate resources wisely, remember that the impact of a motivational speaker extends far beyond the event itself. Investing in a speaker who can genuinely engage and inspire your audience can lead to long-lasting benefits for your organization or group. Consider the potential return on investment when making your decision.

Connection: Harmonizing Values and Style

To maximize the impact of a motivational speaker, it is essential to evaluate whether they share the same values and style as your audience. A speaker who can connect on a deeper level and understands the unique challenges and aspirations of your audience will have a more profound impact. Look for a speaker whose authenticity resonates with your audience, fostering a genuine connection that sparks inspiration.

Exploring the Top 100 Motivational Speakers

Now, let's delve into the list of the Top 100 Motivational Speakers (created by Eric Papp) featuring a diverse range of professionals who have made a significant impact in the industry. From dynamic communicators to experienced thought leaders, this list offers a wide array of options to suit your event's specific requirements. Take the time to review their profiles, watch their videos, and consider their expertise, style, and relevance to your audience. To ensure your picker is a good one, contact your favorite speaker's bureau agent to ensure you're getting the right fit for your event. 

Conclusion

Choosing the right motivational speaker is a crucial step toward creating a transformative event experience. By considering the desired outcome, budget constraints, and connection with your audience, you can identify a speaker who will captivate, inspire, and motivate your attendees. Remember, the impact of a great motivational speaker extends far beyond the event itself, fostering positive change and empowering individuals to reach their fullest potential. Embrace the power of motivation and unlock a world of endless possibilities for your event or organization.

From Holding-Off to the Middle of Uncertainty

Posted by Vince Poscente on Sun, Mar 26, 2023 @ 06:38 AM

I hesitated even sending out this post today. Simply because it’s so basic and obvious. But consider this post for those of us who are holding off on starting a project.

For those of us who need to be certain of all the next steps. This is for you.

Just start.

Things in motion tend to stay in motion. So set your project in motion by simply starting.

➡️ Open a door and see what’s behind it.
➡️ Make a call with someone who knows the space you’re entering.
➡️ Trust the answers will appear as you proceed.

Momentum needs a start. Yes, this is obvious but uncertainty stands in the way of starting a project. Despite momentum being the key to success, its precursor, “starting” can be intimidating. Consider this your nudge to start.

For those who know exactly what’s going to unfold - kudos. You’re ahead of the curve. This message is for the rest of us who will learn along the way.

Again... just start.

If Your Lips are Moving, You're Selling Something

Posted by Vince Poscente on Fri, Feb 10, 2023 @ 09:15 AM

Chances are, if your lips are moving you’re selling something. The importance of stellar communication starts with active listening - not talking.
Screenshot 2023-02-01 at 3.40.46 PM
If you’re trying to get across a message to an employee, coworker, or even a teenager then it’s important to, as Stephen Covey says, “seek first to understand then to be understood.”

Once your lips start moving it may be too late to really have impact and influence. As we all attempt to go through our days and accomplish certain objectives it’s clear other people will likely be part of the solution.

Please join me as I walk through this topic with Rock and Rich. Their style of podcasting is one I think you will enjoy.

In the meantime, just know, that if your lips are moving, chances are you are selling something. Choose your words wisely based on what you’ve first sought to understand.

For Communicators Wanting to Up Their Game

Posted by Vince Poscente on Mon, Feb 06, 2023 @ 07:00 AM

Here’s what I learned from writing eight books on leadership for the self. It’s easy to write a bad book. It’s a worthy challenge to write a good book. What makes a good book?

Psssst. This also applies to memos, emails, and letters.

If you’ve got a book in you, here are a few objectives that I personally strive for (and hopefully achieve):

💡 Make it a Page Turner. Every sentence, paragraph, and chapter should entice the reader to want to read the next sentence, paragraph, and chapter. If you get the reader so flipping curious to know what’s next, give yourself a gold star.

💡 Make it Innovative or Counter Intuitive. If the reader thinks, “No $#1+ Sherlock,” then you’ve missed the mark. Use this as your mantra… “Never state the obvious.” Example: “Fall is here and the leaves are turning color,” or “You may be stuck between a rock and hard place,” then you have lost your audience.  Think of clichés and aphorisms as toxic book sludge.

💡 Bring People Into an Experience. Content does not rule the day if the experience doesn't lead the way. Yes, you want to grab someone’s attention with a point that has them think, “Gee, I didn’t think of it that way.” But then quickly transition into a story that has them noodling on what this must have felt like. At this point, you can support the story with your irresistible content.

This video is an exploration of a story-forward concept that is full of content designed to help people like you and me to get past any personal earthquakes. Heck, the Dalai Lama liked it…

 

I trust this helps.

He Went from Leaning Back to Leaning Forward

Posted by Vince Poscente on Fri, Feb 03, 2023 @ 08:30 AM

Catch a decision maker off guard with your willingness to walk away and they’ll lean into what you have to offer.
 
In 2010 Music World Entertainment hired me to motivate their staff to “do what the competition is not willing to do.” MWE’s founder, Mathew Knowles helped his daughters Beyonce and Solange Knowles build their careers. First guiding Destiny’s Child then managing two successful solo careers.
 Mathew Knowles and Max Poscente
From the age of 10, Max Poscente made it clear he would be a professional musician. I brought him to Houston to check out his dad's speech while he might gain some insight from the rest of the agenda. COO John Cawley was the first to recognize Max's potential and suggested my pre-teen son perform his own music while everyone ate lunch. Max rarely played covers back then.
 
Mathew jumped up, “Max how about you come down to Houston in a month or two and we’ll record one of your songs? Would you like that? Come to my office at the end of the day and we’ll talk about it.”
 
Waiting in the lobby, as the setting sun peeked through the window, Max insisted we should leave because “Mr. Knowles wouldn’t get my music.”
 
I encouraged Max to hear Mr. Knowles out. It was a fascinating conversation as Max finally admitted, “Mr. Knowles, I appreciate your interest, but I don’t think this will work. I just don’t think you’ll get my music.”
 
Mathew went from tilting back to leaning forward. He started selling Max on why he would be good for Max’s music career.
 
Skip ahead to Mathew and his A&R team flying up to Dallas to see Max’s band rehearse plus the makings of a 360-degree deal. At that time Beyonce wanted to spread her wings. She left MWE. With this tectonic change, Max, Mathew, and John continued their friendship as each went their separate ways.
 
I think back to that time, 12 years ago, when a music icon went from a gracious posture to a let’s-do-this vibe.
 
Here’s to friends knowing what they want and going for it.

Beginners Luck for Better Sales

Posted by Vince Poscente on Wed, Sep 28, 2022 @ 07:30 AM

How does beginner’s luck work when subsequent and more informed efforts are subpar? It all has to do with your elephant. 🐘
Beginners Luck Mojo by Vince Poscente
Credit Dr. Lee Pulos’ research: in one second, your conscious mind processes with 2,000 neurons while your subconscious utilizes 4 billion neurons. To remember this amazing ratio, it’s like an ant 🐜 who thinks it decides direction while riding on the back of an elephant. Who’s really in control of where they end up?

You make a decision to go west, get fit, meet the partner of your dreams, add a comma (or two) to your bank account, and sign up five new clients before month’s end. But, alas, you end up east, out of shape, dating a doofus, distracted by a scary bank balance, and no new clients within miles of the bookings board. It’s time to understand the mojo of beginner’s luck.

Simply put, your elephant doesn’t know what you don’t know. The ant is busy trying to figure out the top-line basics while the subconscious mind is given complete autonomy. Imagine 4 billion neurons’ only measure - is the outcome.

Hit the ball in the middle of the fairway. Close that sale your 1st time out. Get a Standing O your first time on stage.

You’ve started in flow. Non-thought. Your elephantine subconscious mind guides you without the annoying, fear-based part of the conscious mind interrupting with second guesses. After a few tries, you start to “think.”

Right? 🤔 No? 🤔 What the heck?

It gets worse. The ant screams down at the elephant.

What was I thinking? 😖 That was stupid. 😖 I suck!

Meanwhile, the elephant is listening and reacting.

Was I thinking wrong? 🤨 Am I stupid? 🤨 Did I let myself down again?”

Presto, a downward spiral of misalignment and negative patterns. It vortexes from bad to worse.

Bring that Beginner’s Luck Mojo back. Next time:

✅ Under-Think It
✅ Trust the Inherent Power of Your Elephant
✅ Relax, Step Forward, & Save Uncertainty for Another Day

You got this!

A Unique Approach to a Better Mindset

Posted by Vince Poscente on Mon, Sep 26, 2022 @ 08:00 AM

Infinite possibilities are like leaves on a stream. Some float by without a second dedicated thought. Some eddy and remain within reach. Based on recent research, a human being has about 6,200 thoughts per day. That translates into about 170 million thoughts in a lifetime.
Mindset with Vince Poscente
Which thoughts of yours are worth grabbing and turning into action?

Hold onto those marquee thoughts that light up your insides. These ones flip a switch and tingle the spine.

What thoughts can’t be ignored?

What resonates with your life purpose?

1️⃣ A good idea won’t go away. If you wake up and that pesky thought keeps popping up. Pay attention. Poke at it. Talk about it.

2️⃣ A thought that excites you AND scares you is meant to be honored. If I’ve taught my kids anything it’s “Never make a decision based on fear.” Honor those thoughts that need your focus.

3️⃣ Some thoughts are born out of negative patterns. These ones need to be interrupted until they stop appearing.

Interrupt these ones:
·     I’m not good enough.
·     I’m not worthy.
·     I’m too young/old/tall/short/overweight/skinny etc.

Consistently interrupt thoughts that don’t serve you. Replace them with those thoughts that inspire you. Eventually, the toxic pattern will dissipate and disappear.

Be the architect of your dominant thoughts and establish a truth about yourself that inspires others.

You got this!

You Might be Looking in the Wrong Direction

Posted by Vince Poscente on Fri, Sep 23, 2022 @ 07:45 AM

When Your Focus Goes Up, Everything Changes.
 
Twelve months before competing in the Olympics I seized a chance to train with some of the best speed skiers in the world: The French. During this time, there was one day that changed my life.
 
It was a snow day. This means it snowed too much for us to train outside.
 
Near the base of Les Arc 2000, 22 athletes assembled in a gymnasium.
 
Remember, these are amazing human beings in peak physical aptitude and condition.
 
Allow me to translate what the coach said. “Get on this rope and walk the length of it.”
 
Each of us took a turn a mere 18 inches off the floor. Zero progress. Only side to side flopping of arms that would make Kermit the Frog envious.
 
Phillipe Goitschel (next year he won the silver medal) flailed. He couldn’t stay on the rope.
 
Finally, after 45 minutes, as everybody had multiple tries, no one succeeded.
 
The coach bided his time until his teaching moment broke the frustration.
 Raising Your Focus Changes Results
“STOP! Stop looking at the rope. STOP LOOKING AT THE ROPE!!” He stared at each person surrounding him. “Look at a point where you want to end up. Do not take your eyes off that.”
 
Phillipe pushed to the front and hopped up. He alternated between looking at the rope and looking at a point on the wall. He failed to advance.
 
“STOP!” urged the coach. “Just look at the point on the wall where you want to end up. The rope will always be underneath you. Your feet will always be at the end of your legs. Just focus on the point you have chosen.”
 
Phillipe locked in on a peg at eye level. Et voila. He virtually glided to the end of the rope.
 
Within ten minutes, 22 athletes went from being unable to walk even five feet on the rope, to walking the length of the rope, turning around, and coming back.
 
Just by changing the focus.
 
Are you laser-focused on the exact point you wish to go or are you concerned about where you may fail? Look up and go.

Cement Your Brand Impressions with Audio Branding

Posted by Vince Poscente on Mon, Sep 12, 2022 @ 02:36 PM

Audio branding impact isn’t just for large corporations. Entrepreneurs who seek distinction from their competition are in on the sound logo advantage. A sound logo will elevate your brand and better connect with your customers.

Audio branding is not new. If I were to quiz you on the following sound logos, chances are you’ll be able to sing them immediately.

Intel CorporationNetflixHBOMcDonald's.

A good logo resonates with the sense of sight and is meant to elicit an emotional response. Adding the sense of sound further elevates a customer’s experience of your product or service.

Audio branding is next-level entrepreneurship. Just ask GaryVee (Gary Vaynerchuk) about the Rise of Audio Branding as a competitive advantage. He promotes audio branding as important.

"Sonic branding is about how your brand sounds and how it gets recalled or remembered — like the little jingle at the beginning of video games or the sound when you boot up your computer. It’s about to become dramatically more important for every single brand."

Note that jingles are the predecessor to sound logos. In fact, there's anecdotal evidence that Elizabethan musicians, wandering from town to town in the 16th century, were known to be sponsored by local entrepreneurs to come up with catchy tunes. Over the centuries, music has been used to enhance a company's brand image.

The next iteration of sound branding is audio logos. With the addition of sound and the subtle difference of a moving logo, your audience (or customer) is trained to get a shot of endorphins. Think of THX prior to a movie. That bone rattling wwwwwwwoooohhhhmmmmm sets up the audience for a "This is about to go down." 

Where can you get a Champagne Sound Logo on a Beer Budget? ➡️ Max

Full disclosure, Max (25) is my son. I learned about the impact of audio branding from him. He produces audio branding and sound logos for companies of all sizes who are wanting to elevate their customer experience. If you'd like to learn more about how a sound logo would benefit your business, call Max at 214-240-9987.

In the meantime, continue to implement ways to connect your brand promise with a memorable experience.
