Motivation is a funny thing, influenced by a broad range of factors. The bottom-line purpose of a motivational humorous speech is change. After all, if everything were running exactly as it should, all at its very best, then there would be no need to consider a motivational speaker. In order for a motivational humorous speech to be effective, however, it must be heard and the listeners must be engaged. This is the special talent that motivational humorous speakers bring to the table, the one that can allow them to change the world – one laugh at a time.

Humor is a wonderful tool, and when wielded by skilled motivational humorous speakers, it can be a powerful means of building the motivation and momentum necessary to achieve goals. While certainly the most obvious benefits to this approach – engaging the audience and ensuring that the message is actually heard – are very important, there are many other benefits, as well.

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?

Rather than a speech filled with motivational platitudes that have been heard so often as to become almost meaningless, motivational humorous speakers present concepts and ideas that will be remembered and thought about after all is said and done. 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...

Motivational humorous speakers are just that, funny speaking professionals who entertain a crowd. As performers their job is to organize what they’re going to say and then to deliver the lines to the audience in an entertaining, energetic fashion. Still they need a way to find gigs in which to perform. This is where the meeting planners become so essential to the motivational humorous speaker.

The meeting planners are the proper business types- always on the move, constantly talking on their cell phones, putting through a sale and no doubt organizing their next meeting conference. Hired by businesses it is their job to find a meeting place that fits the goals and style of the organization they are helping. From the very beginning they sit down with the company and talk about what is needed before putting the plan into action, locating the conference rooms, alongside setting up lodgings, food, beverages, telecommunications, presentation tools and the most important element of the process, hiring the right the speaker- in this case a humorous speaker.

Therefore, the motivational humorous speaker relies on the meeting planner to find work. However, there is much more to it than that. Like a film director relying on the business sense of a producer to provide an environment in which he can create, the speaker and planner develop a similar bond. There is nothing worse to a motivational humorous speaker’s confidence than a room full of miserable faces after he’s told a joke and nothing more damaging to his career than humor inappropriate to the audience in front of him. Nevertheless, all this is avoided if the speaker gives his heart and soul to the meeting planner, more or less putting himself in his hands. In other words, the planner needs to know the speakers persona as a performer. Therefore if the motivational humorous speaker is the attraction to a conference the planner can work the perfect venue to fit his style- doesn’t like people sitting to close to you when you perform. – Well we’ll make sure there moved back 10 feet. If the occasion is more important, the planner will choose the speaker according to who he thinks meets the events specifications.  Read more...

Motivational humorous speakers can help bring humor and motivation into the proverbially stressful workplace. Recent studies reveal that humor and motivational humorous speakers can have a positive impact on the corporate bottom line, since a good sense of humor is a key communication tool that can bring about group cohesion and commitment, thus facilitating good performance and increased productivity.

A Gallup poll in 2005 found that only 31 percent of all employees felt engaged in their work and a sense of connection to their organization. These are the ones who drive innovation and move the company forward. But while an overwhelming 52 percent of the workers were not engaged and merely sleepwalked through their jobs, an alarming 17 percent were actively disengaged and unhappy in the workplace – they not only did not contribute positively to productivity, but also had a negative impact in that they undermined what the engaged workers were trying to accomplish. This Gallup study estimated that the lower productivity of actively disengaged employees could cost the U.S. economy up to $370 billion each year.

A recent survey conducted by an international consumer research firm reveals a full 90 percent of participants believe humor in the workplace helps relieve stress and a further 60 percent believe they would be more productive if their employers encouraged the use of humor. The results of the study indicate that the humorous style of a manager may be one of a number of factors that contribute to bottom-line performance and that the style of humor exhibited by a leader had a positive impact on unit performance. They suggest that leader’s use of humor may help shape a creative and efficacious work force. It also found that managers with a “transformational” leadership style – a management style known to promote the highest levels of employee and overall organizational performance – use humor most often.  Read more...
