Inspirational motivational speakers become indispensable when meetings become events where motivation is in short supply; the underachievers are pulled up; and competitors are lauded grudgingly for their successes. Keynote laughter speakers lighten up the atmosphere and put things in perspective in business meetings where big monetary figures are put on the tables; falling graphs are dissected to tiny atoms to be analyzed; and achievements are celebrated briefly only to facilitate the announcement of the next set of ambitious and sometimes over-ambitious business goals.

Meetings are seriously starved of humor. Insiders that are speaking at the meeting can never have the hold over the audience as trained corporate keynote speakers can, because they are always perceived either as bosses or sub-ordinates. In case the speakers from within the organization are enjoying their speeches, well in all probability, they alone have the privilege of doing so while the rest of the audience is struggling precariously to stay awake.

For meetings that do not have professional motivational humorous speakers, the typical scene is: the speakers and non-speakers as well as the achievers and the non- achievers all wait for the crucial lunch break, coffee break and the conclusion of the meeting. These breaks seem to be the highlight of the meetings with the intervening periods filled with rising emotions, boredom, drifting, and erotic thoughts. Ironic! But it’s true. Of course there are exceptions to his type of scenario. But the scenario described above is generally the rule.

Moreover, when fervent efforts at stifling yawns, changing sitting postures umpteen numbers of times, routine talks that seem like drones, and unenthusiastic applause; and all these laced with a staple solemnity seems to be the characteristics of a typical meeting, funny speakers become the desiderata in the scheme of things.  Read more...

Motivation is a funny thing, influenced by a broad range of factors. The bottom-line purpose of a motivational humorous speech is change.

People work better and achieve more when they feel good about themselves and what they are doing. It is important, then, to provide direction and request changes in a manner that gets the message across in a palatable fashion, one that, instead of sowing blame and division, draws people together. And, what better way to come together than shared laughter?

That’s because those concepts and ideas are presented in a form that is pleasurable to the listener, a situation in which the listeners are able to enjoy the camaraderie of a group with common goals, while sharing laughter.  Read more...

Humorous Motivational Speakers Hold the Key

The factor that sets humorous motivational speakers apart from the rest of motivational speakers is – the power of humor. In these days of shorter attention spans, getting the ears of the meeting attendees itself is a difficult task, if not an impossible one. Executives now are bombarded with a glut of information on everything. Unless they hear something very interesting or funny they just do not pay attention.

So to make them sit up and really listen to a speaker is a job that only humorous motivational speakers achieve with ease. Of course, they work and practice hard to achieve this. The use of humor makes even the most apathetic participant in a meeting to take notice and join in the fun. Once there is interest shown by the meeting attendees the rest becomes easy.

What Humorous Motivational Speakers Do

The easy manners and friendly attitude of humorous motivational speakers help in developing a rapport with the audience instantly. These gurus of motivation slowly and effectively goad the participants to join them in the process of unlocking their own unrealized potentials.

Humor Works Well

Let’s face it – nobody loves to sit through a boring lecture, speech, or workshop. Chances are that while an ordinary motivational speaker rants off on a topic, the participants are mentally preparing their next sales call or even struggling to stay awake. Humor is the only factor that livens up the proceedings of a speech or seminar. Hearty laughter relaxes the mind and the body muscles. It gives the inner organs of the body nearly a work out that physical exercises can give. The audience instead of drifting away starts paying attention, because no one wants to miss out on a good joke.  Read more...
