A good motivational speech works why?—it motivates. It engages the minds and hearts of people in such a way that motivates them to think more clearly, see opportunities, and move forward with action.

The best speeches engage the minds and hearts of people and the best speakers cause each member in the audience to:

Remember — connect back to their highest purpose as a human being, as a team, or as a company. They move them beyond daily distractions and lead them back to remember what their mission is in the first place.
ReThink — see their life and work with new eyes. They create an environment and thought-provoking content that leads people to dwell in possibility and see things from new angles of vision.
ReSpond — compel words into action. They use powerful stories and illustrations that light a fire in people and stimulates an authentic desire to be a catalyst for positive change in their life and work. The speech comes to life!
