Motivational Public Speaking

In my previous post I pointed you’ll to some of the basic differences between Professional coach and an Orator. Today let us look into some more differences that tells what a professional coach needs to transform into an Orator.

Coaches generally have a specific goal; they have to make their trainees grow to a certain level of competence. This transformation will require alterations in the lifestyle of the participants. The job of the coach is to analyze the required transformation and list out a series of steps and guide the trainee to reach the destination.

But an orator’s task is quite disparate. Listeners don’t come because they know they have a lacuna in their learning and want to fill it. But rather the orator is chosen just because the organizers believe he/ she has profound knowledge about the topic, sharing which will immensely benefit the listeners. It is up to the audience to derive benefits of the speech, there is no onus on the speaker.

The real challenge to the orator is here. Unlike a trainee-coach scenario where students are obliged to do what the trainer says, here it is completely up to the speaker to convince and motivate the listeners to take action. To achieve this speaker has to present some really persuasive arguments.

It is very difficult to make people to transform their beliefs, attitudes and actions. The greatest challenge of the speaker is to make listeners change at least three significant changes in their life. The message should be power packed, unforgettable and persuasive.

To attain success in the public speaking arena, one has to concentrate on small transformation areas and attain expertise. But to be a successful coach one has to be reasonable expert in a variety of areas, such as sales, client relations, information technology, communication, leadership etc.
