When you need a speaker for an event or function, one of the first persons you would want to call are motivational speakers. These are people who are mostly regarded as broad thinks who will not only help to give your audience the motivation they need to move forward but they can also help you address those issues causing underperformance and setbacks within your organization. However, before hiring a motivational speaker, there are certain things you need to put into consideration. Here are 8 mishaps that could happen during the process.
1. Lack of Self-efficacy
While referring to a person’s belief in his or her own ability and competence to undertake a given task, this term “self-efficacy” was coined by famous psychologist Albert Bandura. Not all motivational speakers can build that believe and self-efficacy you desire your team to exhibit. In some cases, the reverse can be the case.
2. Inability to create change
Don’t be surprised, these speakers can hardly present the specific set of behaviors people need to focus on to create the desired change.
They are majorly good at creating a brief burst of inspiration that lacks the impetus or value for change.
3. Plagiarism
In oratory, it is easy to paraphrase other people’s speech and to equally mention the source of your ideas which is considered to be acceptable. But what would you say when a so-called motivational speaker irrationally declares an entire paragraph of another person’s speech word for word?
4. Selfish Interest
These days, it is sad to hear that some motivational speakers in Sydney are being referred to as scammers and cheats. They are not sincere to what they claim to be. Most times, they do things for their own selfish reasons.
5. Self-Exhortation
Some speakers glide away from what they are called to do. Most times, they hitch their wagon to themselves only by talking about their inspiration and life achievements. There is no need for conference speakers in Sydney to worship their inspiration.
6. Lack of originality
Your motivational speaker may lack the ability to create original work. When speaking, you may discover that they are only repeating and saying what others said before and not what they can proudly call their own.
7. Inadequate
Time Due to the nature of their job, many motivational speakers in Sydney find it difficult to manage time. Sometimes, they will have to cut their sessions short or even miss out in some occasions due to an emergency.
8. They cannot be Emulated
These days it is becoming extremely difficult to make conference speakers in Sydney your role models as they only seem to be good at inspiring people with well-polished stories and entertaining audiences without a remarkable inspiration to change.
