Inspire Them First…Inform Them Later

What is inspiration?

Inspiration is imagination fired up to see beyond the immediate. Inspiration is a feeling that suffuses logic, facts, processes and procedures with a vision of the value of the outcome.

Do you recognize the sheer potency of inspiration and its potential impact on everything you and your company do? Think about when you were inspired and how that propelled your persistence and ability to reach a goal. Everyone experiences this throughout their lifetimes.

As corporate executives, managers, professionals, small business owners and leaders you can create a fertile environment that allows inspiration to bloom. When speaking and presenting
“Inspire Them First …Inform Them Later”

The inspirational environment requires:

  • Exposure to inspiring managers, role models and heroes
  • Speak about what inspires you and about your feelings. Help your audiences imagine feeling the same.

  • Openness to experiences and positive affect
  • Actively embrace and describe all experiences rather than only results. Experiences help people be aware of inspiration when it arrives.

  • Savoring small intermediate accomplishments
  • Recognize accomplishments along the way to boost inspiration and set off a productive and creative cycle

  • Encouraging work mastery without encouraging competition
  • Focus on the subjective intrinsic value of work mastery

    Inspirational speeches and presentations include several, if not all, of these environmental elements.

    Speakonomics! ™ is my approach to sparking inspiration that is then followed by goal progress. I work with business speakers to incorporate these environmental elements into their speeches and presentations. The more inspiration, the more progress towards goals, and the more economic progress.

  • If you’re all about you…there’s no attraction
  • If you’re all about what they already know…there’s no reason to acknowledge
  • If you’re all facts…there’s no flavor
  • If you’re all convincing…there’s no connecting
  • If you’re all boring sameness … there’s no breakthrough
  • If you’re all stage fright…there’s no success
  • Become a Speakonomics!™ speaker & Experience the Transformation


    Speakonomics!™ is UNIQUE in three ways:

    1 – Focus is on content. I provide several proprietary process visuals that help you craft your content. Learn these techniques once and use them over and over for all audiences and topics. They are independent from the medium (slides, handouts, speaking notes) and the environment (large auditoriums to small conference tables). It is one system that you can use for years to come.

    2 –You will be sure that your content will appeal to your audiences. Why? I draw on a range of disciplines that have demystified what attracts human beings, what they retain and what causes them to take action. Think of this as my ‘tool box’ full of an array of concepts, techniques and tips. We select and apply only those that you need at any given time.

    3 – Presentation delivery is allowed to spring from your inner knowledge and passion. Your confidence from inspirational content based on understanding the audience frees you from your fears and worries, leading to better delivery that is natural and authentic.

    Speaking At The Speed of Today’s Business

    •Smartphones, iPads and social media have transformed the way people take in and process visuals, text and data. They are now very FAST—and your speeches and presentations need to be just as engaging or they stop listening.

    •You have one HUGE advantage over all technology—you’re a real, live person. You can use your voice and body to express an enormous range of meaning. Just think about how you could emphasize each of the words in the simple question “How are you today?” whereas in text, they are all the same.

    • Your job as a speaker is to help the audience leave with an action step to take—something they needed you to suggest to them. There is no such thing as an informative speech anymore—that is called a BORING speech. Bring all your natural and acquired creativity to the work of speaking and presenting to make your audience pay attention to you rather than the device in their hands.
