Motivational speaking, although widely reviled, is a uniquely valuable skill to possess.  A good orator will net a number of  advantages that those who continue to quake and stutter will not be able to  grab for themselves.

Although being a motivational speaker is not necessarily easy, it is inevitably valuable.  Those who develop these skills really do gain some significant rewards for their efforts. One such benefit is that the speaker creates an aura of confidence.  We tend to perceive these individuals to be a confident lot.

 

Build Your Confidence Through Speaking

Those who look and perform comfortably as speakers create an impression of great self-confidence.  Not only is an impression created, a reality  is established, too.  Motivational speaking is  actually a great way of building self-confidence.  Those who feel they have a real  self-confidence deficit should consider it as a way of overcome  their problem.

Can you think of a  better way to gain self-confidence and a sense of satisfaction than mastering a  skill that brings so many people almost to tears?  Think of the sense of fulfillment one can  gain from being able to proudly announce their views or positions to a  group.  There is something intrinsically  rewarding about being able to teach others en masse, or to communicate with  many people at once exactly what is on one’s mind.

 

Advance Your Career By Speaking Engagements

“These speaking skills also give you a tremendous leg up on the competition in the  workplace”, says Dan Smith from KeynoteSpeakers.info.  “Those who can express their  ideas and positions clearly often find themselves bumped up in line for  promotions and a more high-profile job responsibilities.”  The ability to speak in public can be a truly  rewarding skill for anyone looking to improve his or her career situation.

As an employer, who  is more likely to stand out:  the good  employee who never seems to be able to really give a great presentation about  what her unit is doing or the employee who may not work quite as hard but who  is always able to dazzle co-workers and clients with their presentations?  Public speaking skills can really make a  difference professionally.

 

Your Speaking Skills Improve Many Areas Of Your Life

“The communication skills developed by being a motivational speaker also tend to be transferable” says John Rogan from MotivationalSpeakerz.com.  When one develops stronger public speaking  skills, they may also notice an increased ability to communicate in  general.  Interpersonal communication  improves, which can be a tremendous benefit in all areas of one’s life.

Public speaking  teaches one how to communicate ideas clearly.  It also teaches its practitioners how to assess the reaction of  listeners.  It clarifies the best ways to  construct a persuasive argument.  The  transferable skills present in public speaking can be of great benefit even  when one is not behind the podium.

 

Motivational Speaking Makes A Positive Difference

One can also use speaking skills to make a real difference.  These professionals are uniquely situated and  empowered to make a difference in their communities.  From the union member who is able to speak up  on plant safety to the PTA member who is willing to find her voice to argue  against an unseemly school policy to the dedicated activist who can argue his  position cogently in front of a gathering, public speakers have a talent that  can make a real difference in the world.

If you have something  to say, you need to be able to find a way to get that message out.  Public speaking provides the means to that  end.  Anyone who wants to stand up for  himself or to take a stand for others can benefit from developing public speaking skills.

 

Sure, public speaking  is tough.  Many people actually hate  it.  It is also a skill that does not  always come naturally and can require some effort to develop.  Nonetheless, learning to be a better public  speaker does have some very real advantages.   If you want to increase your personal self-confidence, develop skills  that will set you apart from the pack in the workplace an improve communication  in all facets of your life, you might want to consider taking the time and effort  to learn to be a better public speaker.
