Western Cape guest speakers are very often seen as a great practice and these days hardly any meeting or a conclave achieves completeness without their presence. Members of this tribe have become new age celebrities in lecture circuit and are reaping the fruits of their stint of fame as their bank balances keep inflating. But one tends to marvel at the sudden emergence of these orators and would quite naturally try to unravel the chemistry that seems to propel these people to ever increasing popularity. It is a fact that these Western Cape guest speakers are hardly ever directly connected or in any way involved with the organizations they are invited to attend and espouse their views. So, it apparently seems a bit unusual that these persons would be given the pride of place they are usually accorded in these conclaves. But if you scratch the surface, the reasons for their demand at these occasions would not be difficult to locate. The first and most obvious reason is these smooth talkers provide the much needed variety in those long and very often boring sessions of managerial and business meets. Delegates, weary of listening to unending speeches creaking under the weight of massive data, thirst for some variety and an hour or two of entertaining and glib speeches help delegates to refocus their attention on the more important issues at hand. Western Cape guest speakers should not be assumed as professional and skilled and can also be a great disappointed if not scrutinized carefully.
