There are many reasons as to why you may want to attend a talk from a motivational speaker or it may be that your employer has arrange for someone to come and talk to you all. This could be someone that talks in particular on your business area or even on personal development such as adventureman.org/ Although their stories will all be different and they will appeal to different people what all motivational speakers have in common is the ability to be able to talk about their own experiences in such a way as to be inspiring and motivational for others. Many use their own past experiences to help teach us lessons about what to do or what not to do and show us that there is a way to improve our lives no matter how bad things may feel in the present.
Here are a few reasons why you may want to consider listening to speaker:
- Relate with others
It can be really easy to become very insular with our fears, worries and problems and it can be hard to see that other people may be going through the same or similar problems as us. Listening to someone else talk about their life and any struggles that they may have had helps us to build common ground with others as well as relate to someone else. As human beings it is natural for us to be searching for a connection with others and this can come in the form of empathy and a shared experience.
- Perspectives
This is important, especially if you find that you are naturally a more reserved person. When you become so focused on your own problems it can be hard to see out of the fog that seems to surround us. Listening to someone else can help you see another viewpoint on an issue or a problem which in turn may help you decide what you are going to do to move forwards.
- Success and failure
These two go hand in hand with one another but it easy to see success as something that other people achieve and failure as something that always happens to you. Success also tends to be seen as a positive occurrence whilst failure is seen as a negative. Motivational speakers can help you to reframe any failures that you have had as learning opportunities which can in turn make you feel more positive about some of these situations.
