Basic Qualifications of a Motivational Speaker in the Philippines

What is the best qualification we look for in a motivational speaker?

• Never trust an motivational speaker without an actual experience in the topic you intend that they speak about. Many “motivational speakers” today simply inch their way in the Internet and that’s it. It’s a trap. We have more than 50 years of combined motivational speaking experiences in the Philippines and abroad. It must mean something.
• Getting a “famous Filipino speaker” or reading the “List of Motivational Speaker in the Philippines” is not always the best choice. As someone familiar with it, the FilipinoSpeakers.com gives you some basic qualifications should you need to choose your next motivational speaker:

Consider this:

• Experience. Does he or she has an extensive experience in the subject you intend him or her to talk about? If the answer is yes, you’re off to a good start. Motivational speaking isn’t paper thing. It must be based on actual, practical, and experiential application of knowledge and acquisition of wisdom. One inspirational speaker can’t teach you to do a certain if he or she has known his or her content only through paper and desktop research.
• Credibility. A quick search on the reputation of your motivational speaker will come handy. Who is he or she to give us a motivational speech? What has he or she accomplished? Who are the people and organization he or she has an exposure with? What recognition does he or she has to merit my time and effort to get to him or her? Again, some seemingly accomplished personalities doesn’t automatically mean they are capable of speaking effectively. You have to get to know the credibility of your motivational speaker.
• Professionalism. Not all people can conduct themselves proficiently and competently on stage. In fact, many speakers today only have the confidence but not substantial contents. That’s why you’ve got to get a Public Speaking Fellow or PSF® in the first place. Does he or she has a professional practice in the area of public speaking? Who are the people who may vouch for his professionalism? Does he or she do it using a certain methodology, process, or framework? If the answer is no, then you might want to think again before hiring such a motivational speaker.

Hiring a motivational speaker in the Philippines

If you feel there’s a need to consider looking at your situation from a different perspective without any bias or judgment, they you need a professionally trained motivational speaker. Sometimes, when we are too familiar with our situation and the people around us, the tendency is to trust that everything is ok. However, in reality, it might already be the opposite. A professional inspirational speaker is someone who can help you see another perspective. He or she can present parallel scenarios and situation which can help you expand your thinking. It’s through these insights during the coaching process that you get to grow as well as a leader or as a manager or a part of your team. As a motivational speaker myself for two decades now, I normally come into the picture to challenge an existing belief. I love challenging my clients’ perspective so we can arrive at what we can better accomplish. Many have been said about motivational speaking—what it is and what it is not. But whoever you choose, make sure you get your desired result. Otherwise, it’s a bad investment. And a bad investment is still an investment. Choose very carefully. I hope you can share and enjoy reading about the List of Top Filipino Motivational Speakers Philippines.
