Your Questions About Motivational Speeches

Maria asks…

Where can you get hold of a personalisable/recordable alarm clock?

I want to get one for my friend’s birthday, so as I can record some greetings and motivational speeches for him to wake up to. All of the recordable alarm clocks I’ve seen though only let you record about 10 seconds of material. Any ideas on where I could find one that lets you record a longer message?

admin answers:

IKEA do this chunky design…

Http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80154531

it will bleep OR
you can record your own voice/music etc using the inbuilt microphone…

Not sure how long but I recall it felt longer than 10 seconds…
The page does not spec it… Which is a shame (and I am sure IKEA would appreciate the feedback when you ask them…what it actually will do – maybe a free one ??)

Richard asks…

I need help writing a motivational speech..?

I have an assignment that requires writing a motiviational speech as if it was graduation night and you were reflecting back on the past years and stuff like that.

how should i start it?
any steps or help??

admin answers:

Start by stating an aspiration:

Martin Luther King wrote “I have a dream…”

Start by making an assertion:

“We hold these truths to be self evident…”

Start with something from your heart.

Daniel asks…

Who is the most out of shape black belt master?

At a marital arts encampment, I noticed a lot of higher level black belt masters who were really out of shape and didn’t do much other than give long motivational speeches. Martial artists are supposed to be fit. I’m just wonder who the most out of shape martial artist is who has a really high ranking.

admin answers:

Maybe they are not as much of a master as you think they are. I know a lot call themselves master but are really not. A certificate on the wall and a belt around the waist does not make one a master. I also don’t think much of martial arts encampments/social events (either you train or you don’t; why an encampment) and am very much aware that that is where you meet a lot of these ‘masters’ as you describe.

Your Questions About Motivational Speeches

Betty asks…

Motivational Speech Help Please?

I have to write a motivational speech for class, and I chose the topic optimism, but I have no clue how to do the introduction. Can you help me?
Thank you!
:]

admin answers:

Start the speech out with a bold statement, or rhetorical question, that grabs attention, but more importantly, sums the whole speech up in a single sentence.(You should write this opening line after you’ve written the speech.)

Then introduce yourself.

Next do your intro. In your intro you should basically tell the audience what you will be telling them in your speech. “Today I’d like to talk to you about Optimism”. Then list some of the information you will be giving in your speech. Then transition to the speech itself.

Sharon asks…

Nancy asks…

What do women who have or are recovering from cancer or chemotherapy like to do for fun?

What kind of activities are women over 18 able to do while recovering from cancer? I work at a settlement school in KY, and we were going to provide room and board for women who have cancer or are in recovery this spring, kind of like a weekend retreat. Can they be social without being vulnerable to bacteria etc..? Do they even have the will to be social, go on hikes, crafts, and motivational speeches? Or would the majority prefer solitude?

admin answers:

It depends on the individual and how they feel on any given day. During chemo, I hiked, walked my dogs, went to parties and social events, worked on yard projects and rode my bike. I worked part-time and I also worked on a fundraiser for a non-profit I’m involved with. Some days I was up to it, others I wasn’t. Sometimes I chose a less rigorous activity than I normally would. It just depended. I really don’t think motivational speeches would be my thing though. I didn’t like crowded situations.

Be sure to consider dietary restrictions and make sure you have lots of hand sanitizer and focus on keeping things clean.

When I look back, I had a life during that time, and it was a pretty good one. I just had to scale back a few things and say no to a few things.

Carol asks…

Mary asks…

Motivational Zombie Speech?

I am supposed to do a motivational speech for my communications class.

I chose to do a motivational speech during a zombie apocalypse.

Anyone have any suggestions of what i should say, or have any sources?

Thanks!

admin answers:

That depends. Are you trying to motivate the zombies or the survivors? Hmmm I guess the survivors, since the zombies won’t listen to you. Perhaps you are trying to motivate your class to be prepared in case of a future zombie attack? What do you want them to do as a result of your speech? Prepare a shelter? Amass weapons?
Decide that first, then follow the pattern below to write your speech.

**

The Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Speech Topics

This pattern is very useful to elaborate on motivational speech topics.

STEP #1 ATTENTION
Get the attentention of your public. State the importance of your specific angle of approach. List the main benefits to arouse interest.

STEP #2 NEED
State the need for change. Show why it should concern them. Relate the issue or problem to the values, attitudes, interests and needs of the listeners.

STEP #3 SATISFACTION
Satisfy their needs. Provide the details and interesting facts of your plan. Show how your solution works.

STEP #4 VISUALIZATION
Visualize the benefits. That is the heart of your motivational speech topic. Illustrate them with examples, anecdotes, comparisons, statistics, definitions and visual aids. Show succesful implementation in other organizations. Tell your public what’s in it for them.

STEP #5 CALL TO ACTION
Call to action. Show them what to do to implement your plan.

**

For instance: Explain to your class what zombies are and what the threat is to humankind. (Be descriptive of their partially rotted festering bodies so all the girls will go “Ewwwww”.) Tell the class they must protect their brains from being eaten! Tell them how to go about preparing for a zombie attack. Give them satisfaction or proof that you know what you are talking about. Help them visualize using charts, pictures, etc, how to implement the plan. Give anecdotes of previous attacks and how the survivors defeated the zombie army. Then recruit them and show them how to implement your plan to survive.

Good luck in your speech and with defeating the zombies!! :)

I was Wondering what is the average price of the ticket for a motivational speech ,like craig valentine?

60 minutes will cost approx 250 GBP for speech coaches of his renown 1:1. Others group sessions can be 29-49 GBP on average. Enough to keep his wages high enough for him to claim in his paraphernalia, look how successful I am, I earn over 1 million every year! He’s a better self publicist than speaker, trust me.

Do you think more people will show up to hear Bush’s motivational speech or protest it in Ft Worth on Monday?

I’m giving extra credit to my students who show up with signs we made in class this week.
The best sign I have seen so far says

Warning when Bush speaks
Innocent people are tortured
Dirty Sanchez I teach Government I’m doing my job thank you. The parents and school board are aware of my classroom policy.

admin answers:

The revelation of US rightwingers’ sudden emasculation following the 2008 election comes from Duke University neuroscientist Kevin LaBar. LaBar and his colleagues carried out a study on election night in which saliva samples were taken from both men and women both prior to the election and then at intervals after. Participants also filled in a questionnaire.

American neuroscientists say that men who voted for Republican candidate John McCain in the recent presidential elections suffered a serious loss of testosterone as a result of the Obama victory. The hormone, produced by one’s wedding-tackle, is considered essential for basic manliness. Thank Bush while you’re attending.

Suddenly I understand why so many people felt overly threatened by “cash for clunkers” and started carrying guns around with them wherever they went. Trying to make up for the testosterone deficit!

What are some motivational songs?

Preferably rock songs about trying to get a girl or significant other at all costs, who doesn’t want you back. Like songs that make you feel like you can do anything.
It doesn’t have to be in the lyrics either, maybe just the beat of it is motivating.

admin answers:

Why on Earth would you waste your time trying to get with someone who doesn’t feel the same way about you? Stop it and look around.
