Motivational speakers have stood on stage sharing their wisdom and compassion with audiences for years. However, of all these motivational speakers there are a few who stand out as genuine legends or truly great orators. Three in particular are: Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, Jim Rohn and Og Mandino. These motivational speakers stand head and shoulders above the crowd because of their humility, passion and willingness to serve others.
Charlie “Tremendous” Jones was the kind of motivational speaker who audiences loved for his “in your face” presentations. Charlie would grab audience members by the arms and shake them or punch them in the arm for effect and his audiences loved him for it. His audiences trusted him like no other motivational speaker and gave him the permission to enter their personal space.
As a motivational speaker, Jim Rohn was the complete opposite of Charlie; he did not exude the on stage energy of Charlie and certainly never physically touched any of his audience. But, Jim could mesmerize people and keep them on the edge of their chairs through inflection, pause, and thought provoking concepts.
Og Mandino was a master of the plot twist and the surprise ending and his stories have been told and retold. But what endeared Og to his audiences was his gracious nature and desire to deliver his wisdom to the audience.
Yes, there have been many others who have emulated these motivational speakers, copied them and even attempted to ride on the heels of these great talents. But, very few motivational speakers have earned the international respect and renowned reputation that these few so rightly deserve.
The reason – these great motivational speakers came to the stage with a simple philosophy and not only preached it but have lived it as well. The components of that philosophy are humility, compassion and the ability to make the audience the benefactor of their message.
