When hosting a guest speaker for your organization, school or business to enjoy, keep in mind that there is a guest speaker etiquette code that will keep the guest speaker/motivational speaker and his or her audience focused and content.

The steps--hire motivational speaker, invite speaker with guest speaker letter, introduce guest speaker, thank guest speaker with another guest speaker letter, and deal appropriately with guest speaker fee--when followed correctly, make for a smooth process, free of social or professional faux pas.

All the way from introducing a guest speaker to sending off a guest speaker, you, as a host, and your audience should remain tactful, polite and enthusiastic. Don't let a lack of guest speaker etiquette get in the way of a potentially truly inspiring experience.
