Becoming a Professional Speaker
If we have a hard time finding the best in someone, maybe we need to shed more light on them. Often we are hard on ourselves like that also in that we don’t see our higher self and greatness.
To become a motivational speaker I must be relentless in this quest. Refuse to focus on the negatives!
I promise that this will transform all of our relationships. As one who makes their living in their motivational speaker career I make a conscious effort every day to look for the best in other people. Granted, for some it’s easier than others. About a year ago, I was recommending someone for a motivational speaker job and I kept praising her, “She’d be great for your next business meeting. She’s funny, she’s kind, and she’s intelligent…” The person stopped me and said, “James, she’s only that way with you.” I started thinking about her comment. Was that true? Why? Maybe it’s because I always want to find the best in others.
Maybe that’s why they’re being their best when I’m with them. This is a common message I want to give to managers and senior leadership at all the business events I speak at. Let’s find the best in others.
And while we’re at it, let’s also try to find the best in ourselves. In my Motivational Speaker Training school I overemphasize the strengths of each person and maximizing those in our training.
