Many event planners and corporate managers don’t realize the importance of injecting humor and entertainment into their meetings. While emphasis is on making sure the event and the panelists provide information to the audience, the delivery often lacks humor, inspiration or entertainment value.

Steve Gilliland, famous celebrity and motivational speaker, says, “You will achieve your organization’s meeting goals more effectively when content is delivered with the ideal blend of humor, message and inspiration.”

So, just how will hiring an entertaining motivational speaker help your cause and company?

Reason #1: The Speaker Will Deliver an Effective Mental Break

An entertaining motivational speaker is able to deliver a ‘mental’ break to the audience, something that a video, slide show or dry recitation simply can’t. While the ultimate goal of any meeting or conference is to share important information and content with the audience - whether it consists of sales reps, executives, customers or employees - your aim is to motivate and communicate. Yet there comes a time when a person simply can’t absorb any more information.

That’s when a presenter or entertaining motivational speaker comes in, by providing the content in a fun and interactive manner, allowing the information to sink in to the now attentive and relaxed audience.

Reason #2: The Speaker Will Instill Self-belief in the Audience

No industry is free from challenges. Change or conflict in the workplace is inevitable and can lead to anxiety, anger, fear and stress among employees.

An experienced motivational speaker can help to alleviate such emotions. The professional will be able to share ideas and organizational goals while injecting humor into the presentation to take the edge off of any potentially tense environment.  

Reason #3: Networking Possibilities Open Up

Networking is a large part of every meeting or conference, and you can make the most of this by hiring an entertaining motivational speaker. Your audience will share ideas and strategies more if they enjoy the session; they will feel invigorated. By hiring an entertaining and motivational speaker at your next corporate event, you’ll give your team members something to talk about - as well as think about - a win-win situation!
