There are plenty of female motivational speakers; many can be hired for your next workshop, conference or meeting. But have you ever wondered what it takes to become one yourself? You will need to be enthusiastic, outgoing and positive and not afraid to speak in front of a large crowd. Watching and listening to other speakers is a good first step for anyone who wants to do this, as well as writing down your ideas and thoughts on what to talk about. Some colleges and libraries offer public speaking courses which can be an affordable and practical way to develop your skills. Much of the rest of your focus will be about promoting yourself; having a website and marketing your services whenever possible are both a must. Contacting local organizations, charities and hospitals and asking to speak for them is a good way to get yourself known.
