Motivational Speaker Ideas

Do you want some fresh motivational speaker ideas for your next event?

We are often called because people want new motivational speaker ideas. Keeping your audience engaged is difficult and although many motivational and keynote speakers have a great story, many of them don’t possess the art of communicating with a large audience and keeping them interested.

If you want a motivational speaker idea that blows the standard old monologue style speech out of the water then we can help.

We use music as the medium and it’s delivered via facilitators who are used to being on a stage in front of large audiences so they are guaranteed to get everyone in the room pumped up, inspired and engaged.

We deliver the key message in an engaging session that can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours and is completely interactive. That’s right, your delegates will be part of the session rather than spectators clock watching and waiting for lunch time.

That’s why people come to us for motivational speaker ideas when they need something special to make a real impact. Below are our two top events used for motivational speaker sessions.

“I loved how different it was from anything we’ve done before or anything that’s available elsewhere. I liked working with your booking team on building the event and found the whole process really easy. You guys took any pressure away and delivered a fabulous event on the night.” Amy Moore – RSA Group

Our motivational speaker ideas are unique so you can avoid people feeling like they’ve experienced it before. They also have scope for us to tailor them to your event so we can incorporate any key messages or themes so the whole day feels consistent and ties together seamlessly. And of course they will get your delegates pumped up, energised, buzzing and in a moment where they have achieved something special as a group to create a shared positive experience.

This will make your overall event much more effective and optimise the whole effort.

We can come in half way through the day to re-energise the group or deliver the session at the end to top it all off on a high and leave people buzzing and talking to each other about their shared experience.

These events have been enjoyed by big names such as:

• Tiffany & Co.
• KFC
• Sainsbury’s
• Boots
• Asda
• Ikea
• RSA Group
• Pfizer
• Shell
• Dairy Crest
• GE Aviation
• And many more…..

Our popular motivational speaker events for your conference are:

The Rock and Roll Choir Experience

“It wasn’t just creating a choir, the energy and the way in which you engaged with the crowd was brilliant. Even on the toughest of days, you all managed to get most of them involved! I absolutely loved it every day! I only wish we had more than 45 mins!!” Rebecca Nicholson – Retail Support Manager UK & Ireland -Tiffany & Co.

Our vocal coaches teach your delegates the harmonies for a famous rock song. We have scope to tailor the lyrics to your event and we have the pick of hundreds of songs so we can choose something relevant to your company or corporate message. Even the most reluctant singers get stuck in and enjoy the uplifting feeling when our expert facilitators have warmed them into it.

“I don’t want to lose the moment of praise so before I sign off for the weekend I wanted to say thank you. You took a last minute request in your stride and couldn’t have been more helpful. The event was a huge success and the team loved it and that was largely down to the speaker and her lovely, bubbly personality – she is an asset to you and it wouldn’t have been the same without her. The team were a bit anxious to find out what they were doing but everyone embraced it and was surprised at how much they enjoy it. Overall a huge success and a great night had by all – thank you.” Hannah Eborall – Executive Assistant – LifeSearch

The Boomwhacker Experience

“The event was amazing, brilliant and faultless. We could not have had a better experience. Every colleague I’ve seen today has thanked me for organising it and I’m so pleased that we could do this. It was simply the best team building experience this staff team has had in the 9 years I’ve worked here. Brilliant – thank you.” Joe and all the staff at INPUT Pain Management – St Thomas’ Hospital

Using pitched percussion tubes, the boomwhacker experience shows the power of working together as we move through a fun rhythmic session which ends up as an orchestra performing a piece by Mozart. Nothing demonstrates how the sum is greater than the parts than working together to create a classical orchestra from a modest plastic tube.

Once you have chosen your team building activity it’s time to think about the team building venue. Finding the perfect team building venue will add value to your team building or corporate event, especially if you are trying to achieve the wow factor! Are you looking for one in a particular location that is easily accessible to participants or are you looking for a venue that fits with a specific theme? Whatever your requirements it’s important that you get this right as it will impress those attending as well as contribute to the overall success of your event.

Location

When picking the right team building venue it’s important to research the location thoroughly and ensure that it has good transport links such as being near motorways or even airports. This will make sure that delegates can get to the venue easily. Making the location easily accessible will make everyone’s life easier but will also encourage more people to attend the event.

Capacity

Picking the right size venue for your team building event is crucial to ensure the event runs smoothly and feels right. For instance if you have a venue capacity which is too small, then the event will feel over crowded and uncomfortable for the participants but if it is too vast it will feel empty and lost. It might be good to visit the location in advance to get a feel for the space and envisage how it will work on the day. Depending on what the chosen team building activity is, you may need everyone to be in one room or separate them into groups. If this is the case you need a venue with appropriate rooms to do this. Research is the key here and making sure you plan ahead of the day to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Originality 

Finding a venue that has that wow factor is usually top of everyone’s to do list. Picking a unique venue will go a long way in complimenting your theme (if you have one) and will help set a good tone and mood for the day. If your corporate event is high end elegance and sophistication you may be looking for a plush 5 star hotel, if it’s a music event you may want a music venue or hall. If it’s a medieval banquette you could select a castle or old historical building. It’s fun to pick something different that will have a lasting impression on your delegates.

Customer Service 

This is sometimes overlooked as we tend to get so caught up in the venue’s size and look but it is just as important. Your chosen venue needs to have a good customer service team who are on hand to help you with the planning prior to the event but who are also very hands on when it comes to the event itself. This is crucial to the overall success of your team building event and ensures that everything runs smoothly. We suggest you print out an itinerary on the day with appropriate contact details of any staff who are helping with the planning so the venue have something to work with on the day.

Facilities 

A good venue with have excellent facilities for events as a standard. This will include a variety of meeting rooms and halls, technological support and catering staff. Check what is included in the price before booking and if you are having an event being held over a couple of days remember to check for accommodation.

Team building is an extremely important and vital part of any company. In recent years it has become more popular and has been proven to increase employee moral and positivity, which in turn will have a huge impact on the success of your company.

We hope our team building venue information has been of help to you and will help you to book an amazing team building event for your staff. If you would like to have more information about the events on our website then please Get in touch today for a no obligation quote.

How can you make sure you have a great time at your team building event

When picking your chosen team building event it can be daunting, especially as there are so many choices available to you and so many companies offering some fantastic events and ideas. But before you select a team building company you need to make sure you pick a provider who comes across as professional and a hundred percent confident in their events and service. They also need to deliver top marks across all the three areas below.

1. The Company – Select a Team Building company that you know will fully engage and excite your team, that challenges the participants so that they do not find the activity boring. It is also important to call your team building company up before booking so that you get a feel for them over the phone and can ask any questions about the event. A good team building company will listen to your requests and will put forward their ideas and what they think might work. They should also try to tailor the event to fit your requirements to ensure everyone has a good time. Flexibility is the key and any company that can’t be adaptable and cater to your specific goals probably aren’t worth working with.

1. The Staff – Whoever you select to run your event for you needs to have good quality equipment and employ staff on site that are engaging, friendly and charismatic. This will have such a positive impact on the whole team building experience. You might think how do I check this? Well a good team building company should have a professional up to date website with blogs, pictures and even videos of their most recent events. This will showcase their best events so far and will give you a good feel of what type of  team building events are on offer. Most companies also have testimonials from past clients so check this out as well. If they have run events for some big brand names it will also give you that confidence that they can be trusted.

1. Unique is best – If we asked you to sum up your past experience of corporate team building events do you recall them with fondness? Possibly not. In fact many clients that we work with tell us horror stories of past experiences that were dull, uninspiring and considered a waste of time by everybody involved. And as a result they were anxious about booking the next one because they didn’t want their colleagues aiming more displeasure at them! Many of us have been forced to spend hours participating in mind numbing activities which often fail to build stronger relationships with our colleagues. In fact they often spread frustration because we know that inbox is filling up, the ‘to do’ list is not being chipped away at and we’re wasting time being bored without seeing any real benefit. Consequently, team building activities are often met with scepticism and are frequently stereotyped as being cringy, dull, clichéd and out of date. Make sure you pick a team building event that is different, something no one has done before that will keep everyone involved engaged and interested but most of all pick a team building event that is fun!

Check out our new team building overview video below which shows you the different events we offer and remember all our events are for any age group, any physical ability, any skill set and best of all no experience is necessary. In fact we prefer it that way because then everyone is really challenging themselves and being forced to succeed well out their comfort zone.
