What should I include in my guest speaker invitation letter?

Be sure to include the objectives of the guest speaker speech, a brief outline of topics that should be addressed, a description of the motivational speaker's audience and understanding of his field and details such as time, location and duration of his speech.

How do I go about introducing a guest speaker?

Keep the focus on the guest speaker by repeating his or her name at the beginning and end of your guest speaker introduction. Describe a few accomplishments of the guest speaker, perhaps an anecdote or two, but don't belabor the introduction. Your job isn't to entertain; it is to usher in the professional motivational speaker.

I coach a professional sports team. Is hiring an athletic motivational speaker a good way to reach my team members?

Absolutely! An athletic motivational speaker can reach a range of teammates who need extra stimulation to get their game on. A leadership motivational speaker can help captains be good role models, while a self improvement motivational speaker can bring stumbling teammates back on track.

As a junior high principle, I feel having periodic guest speakers would help my students grow academically, culturally, socially and morally. Do you agree?

Indeed. Adolescents these days can stray from healthy, structured lifestyles if we in the community don't guide our children. Every month or so, you should bring in motivational speakers, perhaps an African American motivational speaker during Black History Month, a safety motivational speaker when school codes are breached, or a educational motivational speaker during academic slumps.

I'm in the real estate business. How can I get my team of agents on track for next season?

Why not hire a career motivational speaker? A job motivational speaker is a great way to inspire your employees without lecturing them yourself (creating a rift). A real estate motivational speaker can bring perspective and savoir faire to the group.
