Many company owners have heard the buzz created by motivational humorous speakers and may wonder if they’d be suitable for their events. While each event and audience are different, almost everyone can benefit from a little motivation and humor, especially with the competitiveness of business now. When searching for a speaker that fits your needs, it’s best to ensure that they have quality speeches, experience, and inspiration.
Quality Speeches
Almost every speaker is going to offer demos of their previous work. You can view videos or hear audio from past events to get a feeling for what they can do. If they only offer one demo, it may be best to request multiple ones so you can hear the differences between the speeches. For example, if they all seem similar, the speaker may not offer originality or freshness to each speech.
Their Experience
Motivational humorous speakers don’t just come out of the woodwork and become famous and excellent at what they do. It takes years of experience to get the timing, deliverance, and craft mastered. While that doesn’t mean you have to spend more for the most experienced person, it may mean that you don’t want to go with the cheapest. Look for someone with at least a year’s experience speaking at events or functions if you don’t have the funding to hire someone with decades of experience.
Are They Professional?
The point of a funny speaker is to get others to laugh, but at what cost? Motivational humorous speakers should always be professional in their speeches and shouldn’t make fun of others as a way to humor the rest of the crowd. Their primary objective is to motivate, which isn’t possible if they’re bullying someone or talking negatively about anyone (both present or not there).
