What an Inspirational Speaker is A motivational speaker helps you to overcome a problem you may have in your life, for instance: how to quit smoking, how to lose weight. In contrast, an Inspirational Speaker answers the bigger questions: why you need to do those things? why you need to bring them into your life? why you need to do this change? and also how you can help others in that process. How to Shine as an Inspirational Speaker To be an inspirational speaker you must: * Have great stories of love, compassion and leadership. * Be able to effectively tell those stories. Practice daily, tell stories to your friends. * Be real, by telling either your personal stories or stories that touched you. * Speak from the heart.
