We first published this list in 2012 and by 2023 we have seen a lot of changes on it. Our team at WisdomIndia has been doing intensive research on the arena of motivational speakers in India.
As you already know motivational speakers provide informative and inspirational speeches to clusters of people. They are employed mostly by corporates, government institutions, event organizers and schools to speak on topics such as living a healthy lifestyle, organizing one’s personal life, or business and financial success.Great motivational speakers are experts in tailor fitting their messages to their audiences whether it is a crowd of business executives or a class of secondary students.
Motivational speakers help individuals motivate mental, spiritual, social, physical, financial and career aspects of their lives. And great motivational speakers work hard in maintaining and developing their abilities and verbal communication skills, as this is a vital element of the job.
A good motivational speaker should do research to continuously keep up with trends and events regarding the subject matter that they speak about. They must also have the skill to converse with their audiences after every speech to offer consultations and answer queries. Considered experts in their field, motivational speakers are looked to when insights are essential in that given area.
In the western world, especially in America, motivational speakers like Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Zig Ziglar, Jack Canfield, Jim Rohn and Bob Proctor have helped businesses and people grow and reach their true potential. Some of these speakers speak more than 200 days in a calendar year. In India, the trend is slowly picking up, corporate world and even the Indian Army is calling motivational speakers to help their people and motivate them to do their best.
