Life, as you know and experience has always been


hard. You may have tried various things to make
yourself motivated no matter how big the waves of
challenges and problems are crashing upon you. You
may have encountered or listened to an inspirational
speech before which may have helped and inspired you
to continue winning in life. Now, you may want to create
one for yourself but you do not know where exactly you
should be starting. This article will help you in making
one with the help of these six speech examples.

What Is an Inspirational Speech?

Let’s define inspirational speech by separating the two


terms.

What is an inspiration? According to the Oxford


Dictionary, inspiration means the process of being
mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially
to do something creative.

What is a speech? Merriam-Webster defines speech


as the power of expressing or communicating thoughts
by speaking.

Now, if we combine the two together: inspirational


speech is a kind of speech that persuades or convinces
people that they can succeed and win in life.
Inspirational speeches would often include success and
uplifting stories and real-life situations and experiences
that the speaker thinks the people listening to it will be
moved and inspired to do greater and better things in
their life.

What Makes an Inspirational Speech


Successful?

An inspirational speech drives people to change for the


better. If you want to make your inspirational speech
successful, you have to make sure that you drive them
to change. Here are three simple tips that will make
your inspirational speech successful:

Share Your Personal Story


Always include your personal story in your speech.
Although we are living in different lives, chances are,
there are a lot of people who can relate with your
struggles and some would also want to prepare when
they are expecting to experience the same struggle as
yours. When you share your personal story, you do not
only touch the topics they can relate with but you can
also touch their hearts and feelings and nothing can be
as moving as when your feelings are touched.

Tailored to the Audience


An inspirational speech is only effective if the audience
you are delivering the speech to can relate to it. You
cannot expect to inspire people with the age bracket of
12-15 years old and your inspirational speech is all
about college fresh graduate dilemmas. Before you are
going to write for your speech make sure that you ask
the organizers what the theme of the event is as well as
the age bracket of the audience.

Make Every Point Connected and


Relevant
You cannot also expect inspiring people when the
points of your speech are all over the place. In your
introduction, give at least three points and give a brief
talk about it but on the body, elaborate more and in the
conclusion, make sure you repeat the three points
again, summarize everything and do not add more
ideas. An inspirational speech that is well-crafted can
not only inspire people but it will also make them
understand more.

How to Give an Inspiring and


Memorable Speech

Now, you may have a little knowledge of how to make


your inspirational speech successful but your question
now is, how do you exactly make your inspirational
speech actually inspiring and memorable for your
audience? Here are five simple tips that will make your
inspirational speech inspiring and memorable:

1. Grab your audience’s attention


This is an old trick in the book but this trick always
works wonders. Why? Because your inspirational
speech is for your audience. You can grab their
attention by starting your inspirational speech with a
mind-blowing quote o question, your personal story, a
joke, or play a moving video. You can do everything as
long as you do not bore your audience at the start of
your inspirational speech.

2. Always be upbeat.
Another possible thing that could make you lose your
audience’s attention is when you would be delivering
your inspirational speech lousy and uninteresting. Be
upbeat especially in the introduction part of your
inspirational speech. Sure, you have a sad story to tell
but share that in the middle of your inspirational speech
when you have already caught their attention in the
introduction part of your inspirational speech. You are to
deliver an inspirational speech and you are not there to
sing a lullaby and make people sleep.

3. Do not literally read your inspirational


speech in front of your audience.
Reading your inspirational speech on a paper in front of
your audience inspires them to do one thing: when it’s
their turn to deliver a speech one day in their lives, they
will think it’s all right to deliver a speech on a paper.
Reading your inspirational speech on a paper can make
you less credible. Some people might question your
credibility, and would ask whether you really are fit to
deliver a speech or not. There might be times when
reading it on a paper is all right like when you would
deliver a graduation speech. But it is really best if you
memorize your inspirational speech. You can always
make use of a power point presentation if you have a
hard time memorizing. And additionally, practice makes
perfect so before presenting your inspirational speech,
you must always practice practice, and practice.

4. Share your personal story.


This is a repetitive tip but this, like grabbing your
audience’s attention, is an old trick in the book but
always works wonders. Everyone loves to listen to
stories especially from people who are known for the
struggles or field. Even if people do not exactly relate to
it, people would still love to listen to stories. Make sure
you include only the ones sensible and relatable with
your main points, or else people would think your
speech is all over the place, and they would not be able
to understand it anymore.

5. Make the audience want more.


This tip does not necessarily mean you leave your
audience hanging with your inspirational speech. It
means that you would drive your audience to want more
ideas, information, and lessons about your inspirational
speech. A sign that you left them wanting for more of
your wisdom is right after your inspirational speech or
the entire event, they would come up to you, ask you a
lot of questions, and ask for any way to contact you.
End your speech with a round of applause or a bang
and never ever leave them with nothing to bring and
that is the learning they can generate from your
inspirational speech.

Elements of an Inspirational Speech

Make sure you always include the following elements in


your inspirational speech so that you will be able to
write a successful, effective, and of course, inspirational
speech:

1. Optimism
An optimistic inspirational speech would give and ignite
hope to its readers. Make sure that your motivational
speech truly delivers this element. One proof that your
speech has successfully included this element in your
inspirational speech is when right after your speech,
your audience is filled with so much hope in their eyes
that they are very much willing to change for the better
or to continue becoming better because they have been
inspired by your speech.

2. Call to Action
Your inspirational speech must always provide
objectives that would call your audience to action. It is
pointless to feel inspired but you do not actually act out
what you have learned about. Also, make sure that
what you are trying to call to action is something
anyone can act out and are achievable. You may also
see special occasion speech.

3. Passionate and Personal


A passionate inspirational speech often comes sincerely
from the heart and mostly, the things that come from the
heart are often based on experience. Making an
inspirational speech out of personal experience makes
our heart pour out These are the kinds of inspirational
speeches move, appeal, and inspire people.
