Management motivational speakers are corporate warriors against insecurity and anxiety. Here are one or two techniques. Some memorize one or two speeches and repeat those with slight variations from one venue to another while others try to tailor their messages keeping the audience sentiments in mind. But whatever they say, the underlying message is a reassurance that the listeners can indeed realize their full potential. Such an external reassurance has become all the more necessary in the western world with prevalent insecurities and existential angst that possibly started with the 9/11 disaster and intensified further with global meltdown and consequent loss of jobs and livelihood. The swagger and bravado, often bordering on boorishness, was suddenly gone and people were scrambling for cover being abruptly denuded of the protective cover of social and financial status associated with a stable and, for some, glamorous jobs. Management motivational speakers were in high fashion. Some people were immersed right up to their noses in credit card debts with mill stones of massive home loans hanging around their strained necks. A totally unexpected gloom of insecurity stared right into their eyes and they needed an assurance that they were indeed not as useless as the current scenario might make them look like, and they surely can traverse the dark tunnel to reach the gleaming light that is burning brightly at the end of it. It might sound preposterous to many but President Obama could rightly gauge the prevailing mood and entered White House as one of the greatest management motivational speakers of our times with his now iconic exhortation; "Yes, we can."
