The Special Qualities Of A Keynote Speaker

By Robert Thomas


There are all kinds of people who need to give a speech for any meeting or large organizational convocation. These persons provide resources to the entire group in terms of information, industry news and developments, and the like. Some are simply hired to provide concise, clear and well delivered speeches with things like humor that are highly useful for the subject of the meeting.

Certain persons who are capable of holding an audience with a speech are some of the best operators for the meetings industry. They are usually gifted and personable speakers with a sense of humor, capable of providing light and life to a meeting. Sometimes he is the keynote speaker, and he is a professional who is trained in speaking before events where his services have been contracted for.

The audience that is addressed can be a mixture of conventioneers, invited guests, and assorted professionals. So it is only proper for a speaker to be fully prepared to address all issues that are relevant. He needs to be speaking for 45 minutes or so, enough time to really have an intensive speech, and short enough to be not to provide discomfort.

Those organizations who get speakers for their meetings need someone who is relevant and quite well know, able to be an inspirational resource for all types of people. He often will not belong to the organization or related field, but he will prove to be a kind of game changer for the occasion, providing insight and wisdom others missed. He can be humorous if needed, and his effectiveness is measured in consensus and emotional connection.

He comes with a somewhat higher price than ordinary speakers. This is because he comes highly recommended, with perhaps a raft of testimonials from many groups that have availed of his services. But it all boils down to how he can carry the day for an otherwise ordinary meeting.

The fact that he can be lumped with other speakers is somewhat confusing, because there will be some overlapping of roles. If you think about it, he can be an inspirational or even a motivational leader because he does these things also. And further, he is not a person who does breakout, plenary or industry speeches.

Highlighting of trends, business processes, and certain unique elements that are being developed for the industry is the precise thing that he must address well. While others outside the meetings industry can compare him to an illusionist, a performance artist, even a ventriloquist, he is without question working within a high set of standards. This is something that will be apparent when he speaks out.

Analysis and synthesis are also some things that this speaker does. Often, he is brought in to lead out a training seminar or program for professional enhancement. But he will always be the one who itemizes the key points so that they stay relevant and thought of by a group for the duration of a meeting.

He has many resources that can be used to compel an audience into the right direction needed. He can use video clips, Powerpoint presentations of tables, graphs and charts. In other words, he can use anything that is able to put the most important messages across.
