Modern motivational speakers are used by corporations to help increase profits and
can do this as motivated employees are kept focused and on track and work harder for the end goal. Compare with the people who lack the motivation to do their job and so do as little work possible to get the the job complete and thus waste time and lower profits. For this type of speech a speaker will come prepared with things such as humour containing a message to help motivate the employees. They also know that many people lack self-confidence which in some roles can make or break things like sales even if the person has been doing it for some time a little extra confidence may help to up sell or just secure the deal quicker and easier. This will give people some energy and positive thoughts to give renewed commitment.
