In just about any profession it does not hurt you to have the reputation of being eager to learn and continue getting more education.  Motivational Speakers are no different.

We need to always be learning and improving our motivational speaking skills. Did you ever think about learning from others as a blessing? As a Motivational Speaker the benefit is how this activity affects so many parts of your business especially relationships in speaking. Our clients enjoy sharing their thoughts, their knowledge, and their stories.

I always think about Tiger Woods as a great learner and easy to teach. He’s watched all the great golfers and tried to pick one thing they did best and go and learn that. Tiger has hired golf swing coaches to help him continue improving his game and stay the number one player.
Think about it do you remember that person who always had to share how smart they are? Do you recall that person who always corrected others about their facts? The one with whom it was pointless to disagree? I used the words “remember” and “recall” because odds are these are friend and acquaintances of the past. Actually, no one enjoys being around a know-it-all for very long. In contrast, imagine someone who is interested in your thoughts and views. Isn’t it great when someone asks you to explain further your comments, and responds:“That’s a good point!”
“I have never considered that.” “That is very interesting. Please tell me some more about that.”
Learning from others is about much more than just getting more knowledge. It involves having the humility to put aside our “mental fact sheets” and to open that space for others’ ideas. Learning is about honoring others who share new or different viewpoints.

Motivational Speaker’s Enemy

I have discovered that our biggest enemy in this area is my ego. Sometimes our pride doesn’t want to learn. It wants to be recognized and be the teacher! It wants to share with others how much it knows. My ego wants to correct others to set them on the right path. When someone disagrees with or questions my point of view, I’m quick to get defensive. Do you Learn from your friends and colleagues? Learn From Everyone you encounter and view them as superior in some way.

Come to My Motivational Speaker Training course and you’ll learn to transform your speaking career.

“Every man I meet is my superior in some way;
in that I learn from him.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
