I agree with you and one of them is Lloyd Luna. He is claiming that he is a millionaire, yet has not settled his account with his office.
Hi Jepoy! How are you? Let me have your bank account number so I can settle whatever claim you make here. That is if I really owe something from your office. Drop the name of your office.
Pingback: Life Changing Experience and the Filipino motivational speaker « To the Filipino Motivational Speakers
@Jepoy: I think the topic of the post is “chest-pounding speakers but have no real life-changing experience”.
Now, let us talk about that.
I think that chest-pounding is not really a problem. That is true for any profession and any race, not just for Filipinos. Chest-pounding is not really bad. Gorillas do it too. And yes, soccer superstars. And basketball players too. I think the gesture is not the issue.
As to “no life-changing experience”. I believe everyone has faced struggles in life. The smallness or bigness of the problem depends on the person. The real job of the motivational speaker is not to tell his sad stories, although sad stories add emotional impact to the message, but to show how his stories are related to the problems of his audience. After that he must be able to show his audience how to he solved the problem and how the audience may do the same. Ultimately, he must challenged them to move.
The focal point of motivational speaking is not the speaker nor the message. The audience is. The speaker and his stories are just a metaphor, a tool for the audience to see himself and the situation he is in.
One does not have to suffer to be motivational. He does not have to meet an accident that is life altering to be motivational. For me, the mere fact that the person is motivated to help other people is by itself a life-changing experience and motivational.
Emerson said, to speak is to compel, it is to bring people out of their bad sense to your good sense. I believe bringing people to your good sense is the real essence of motivation, not life changing experience. Life changing experience happens every day, but your good sense, ah, that is very rare.
Do you want to motivate people? Find your audience. Bring to them your good sense.

I have written a series of post on inspirational speaking. You can read the blog entries and leave your comments. Collectively, I call them Letters to Inspirational Speakers – http://jefmenguin.com/?cat=12 The letters are not only for Filipino speakers, but for every one who has the desire to inspire people.
You can lead without title. You can inspire without title too.
You can touch and move people. But you must be clear on what touches and moves you too.
One dream is to build an organization that will professionalize inspirational speaking the Philippines. As of now, none exists in the Philippines. We do not have trade associations. The ones we have are speakers’ bureaus.
Nice to be back here after two months. Visit my website and subscribe to get your email address.
@Jef: I read your post and this line caught my attention-
“One dream is to build an organization that will professionalize inspirational speaking the Philippines. ”
What exactly do you mean by professionalize? Do you mean to say to put some regulations? Do you mean to say to establish a system that someone has to go through before someone can become a inspirational/motivational speaker?
Accountants have trade associations. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, nurses, etc have trade associations too. These associations do not give professional licenses to practice a profession. You join them for professional development and, for some people, for networking.
By establishing a speakers association, we help each other improve our craft. And I think it is also good when you have an association that may give you due recognition.
Around the world, there are associations for professional speakers. I think it is not a bad idea for us Filipinos to establish one too.
What do you think? Do you want to join us?
we have this vision to teach and train, and become a good inspirational/motivational speakers too… been into network marketing and having attended some of good speakers, we would like to echo those trainings to outskirts cities where popular speakers are not fond visiting… we would like to join you guys and be trained more, actually what we plan this August20 is our dry run of spreading our wings, though not professional speakers as others say but would impart and learn the craft by our own means… .
Hi Jeff and Eric:
I am drawn to become a good speaker and would love to be a part of a group or association that promotes this.
Hi Jeff, i think we have met when you were invited to make a proposal in our company.
People often emerge from motivational sessions in a state of temporary euphoria but I have rarely witnessed anyone who can honestly say that it improved their bottom line. Quite often those who bill themselves as inspiring speakers are purely entertainers.
My own approach is to conduct small round table sessions where, as well as learning effective strategies, participants can discuss some of their problems and get meaningful advice to solve them.
It is practically impossible to uncover knowledgeable males and girls during this subject, even so you sound like do you know what you are discussing! Thanks 996179
@Darwin Vickers If your approach works well, then you must continue doing that. I also agree with your comment about motivational and inspirational speakers to some extent. However, you cannot compare with what you are doing what motivational speakers are doing. You have different purposes and audiences expect different results. You will not hold your table sessions for 20,000 people at the same time.
@Jerome, Please contact me. Visit my website and leave a message in the contact form.
@Eric Julius. If there is anything I can do to help you become professional speakers, please contact me.
