Why Herman Cain Claims He’s Not a Motivational Speaker

Herman Cain claims he's no motivational speaker but does motivate his audience.Interesting post on Kotaku.com that former presidential candidate Herman Cain was quoted as saying he’s not a “motivational speaker.” He wants to be thought of as an inspirational speaker instead. He describes that motivation comes from within and inspiration comes from someplace else.

Here’s another example of the misuse of the phrase motivational speaker. Maybe the term needs to be rephrased or recoined or something that’s just plain new like action-igniter speaker or get-off-your-butt-and-do-it speaker or if-you-don’t-report-to-me-tomorrow-that-you’ve-done-it-i’ll-come-find-you speaker.

The greatest thing we can hope to do in our speaking careers is to motivate just one person or millions to make a change; to do something different to improve on their lives.

Motivational Speaker J.R. Martinez Set to Serve

Motivational Speaker J.R. MartinezHe might not be in a formal U.S. soldier uniform anymore, but motivational speaker J.R. Martinez is definitely set to serve with words instead of dance moves now that Dancing with the Stars is over.

 

I loved to see the coverage of J.R. presenting at Fort Campbell and wasn’t surprised to hear the audience was sent into a frenzy of appreciation.

I also wan’t surprised that he’s working on a book. I’m always suggesting to our speaker participants at Motivational Speakers Worldwide that, if your presentation is good enough, you’ll eventually be asked to write a book. And, if your book is good enough, you’ll eventually be called upon to speak.
