1 Know Yourself

Understanding your unique speaking style and the core messages you convey is vital when interviewing for a motivational speaking role. Reflect on what makes your approach distinctive and be prepared to articulate it clearly. This self-awareness shows potential employers that you're not just another speaker but someone with a special flair that can captivate and motivate audiences. Highlighting personal anecdotes or transformative experiences that shape your perspective can give interviewers a glimpse into the passion and authenticity behind your words, making you a more compelling candidate.

Besides knowing my strengths and weaknesses, I must share my unique qualities and personal stories for the interviewer to understand my brand. I show that I know the company’s culture, values, and the challenges they face to address their specific needs. I customize my message to motivate my audience and address their aspiration and challenges. I use storytelling with authenticity to engage the interviewer, showing my genuine enthusiasm and belief. I show my speaking style and connection with my audience by offering a sample demonstration during the interview. I will highlight what differentiates me from other speakers in my specific expertise so people will know the value I bring to the organization to inspire and drive changes.

Understanding oneself is task, but greater task is making others worth their values. I am always of the opinion that I matter, but the very instance that I can be true to myself in scenario that myself and others make up a community or a team, then "#me" is not as important as "#us" therefore, the need for #contemporality and #flexibility as the order dictates the tone, but the goal always is "#win-win".

2 Audience Insight

In motivational speaking, knowing your audience is paramount. During an interview, demonstrate your ability to tailor your message to different groups by discussing past experiences where you successfully connected with diverse audiences. Explain how you assess the needs of an audience and adjust your content and delivery accordingly. This skill is crucial for employers seeking a speaker who can resonate with varied listeners. Your capacity to understand and adapt to your audience's expectations will show that you're not only a great speaker but also an empathetic communicator.

Many times, it is believed that we are always sure of the consumers of our products, but we may have failed in understanding the root-cause to why they had to need our products and how for how long. The ones who read this piece may not find this article of a much resonating clime at this instance, but the moment its comprehension needs assertion, their will always be many more people already listening and gaining from its insight. Being intentional about my audience may not always be true, but my messages are the power that drive the wants in #listeners/readers to always be an audience of mine. It is why I am who I am.

3 Engage Confidently

Confidence is contagious, and in a motivational speaking interview, it's your secret weapon. Approach the interview with the same enthusiasm and assurance you would bring to the stage. Use positive body language, maintain eye contact, and express your ideas with conviction. Your confidence will reassure potential employers of your ability to hold an audience's attention and leave a powerful impression. Remember, your self-assurance speaks volumes about your credibility as a speaker, so let it shine through in every answer you give.

For me, talking is cheap but constructivism is my every time tool in engagement towards achieving desired and/or eventual outcome. I am aware that I can be as right as much as I can be wrong as this is my drive for always available to learn, unlearn and relearn.

4 Showcase Skills

A motivational speaker's toolkit is filled with various skills that make their speeches impactful. During your interview, provide specific examples of how you've used storytelling, humor, and rhetorical devices to engage and inspire audiences. If possible, offer a brief demonstration of your speaking prowess—nothing showcases your abilities better than a live performance. By giving interviewers a taste of your skill set, you're not only telling them what you can do; you're showing them.

The most important thing to keep in mind is to prepare for the motivational speaking interview. Do NOT wing it. PLEASE. I have lost some speaking opportunities because of lack of preparation. Here are some ideas: * Visit their website, check Yahoo News, press releases, and Google searches. * Put their site content into ChatGPT to identify their pain points, competition, and customer avatar. * Find out who spoke last year; Google is your best friend. Call that speaker for insights about the conference. We are very generous in the speaking industry. The person who is the most prepared for the speaking interview will always win. Period.

5 Authentic Passion

Authenticity is the cornerstone of effective motivational speaking. In your interview, convey genuine passion for your work and the topics you speak about. Share what drives you and how you've seen your words influence others. Employers are looking for speakers who not only talk the talk but also walk the walk. Your sincerity will resonate with them, as audiences today crave speakers who are genuine and relatable. Authentic passion is not just felt; it's experienced, and it's this experience that you want to leave with your interviewers.

Your willingness to grow and adapt indicates that you're not complacent and always strive to deliver the best experience for your audience. This attitude of lifelong learning is attractive to employers who want speakers that are not only effective but also evolving.

Use every interview as a selling opportunity. As motivational speakers, it's never about us, it's about how much value we can give to our audience/clientele. Here's the best part. People are always willing to pay for valuable things, unque things or things that benefit them in a major way. So here's what to do in your next interview: 1.) Clearly articulate your value proposition. 2.) Do not be afraid to express and showcase what is unique about you as a speaker. 3.) Share something that you believe will have major impact on the lives of your audience. Now... Go Be Great!
