They should feel that this is something they were looking for!


Here are the top 5 tips that will help you to deliver a good motivational speech and at the same time create the impact.


5 Tips that you need to know about motivational speech

Be very clear with your primary message

You must be very clear with what you are speaking. Also, you must let the audience realize as to what they are listening to just within a few minutes of listening to you. This would be possible, if your introduction to the topic is apt. From the very start, you must stick to the point. Also, you should be able to engage your audience. Giving out too many details in the introduction would actually confide the listeners. So, just be very clear to the audience about what you want them to understand.

Tell a story for proving your point

It’s really vital that you should let the audience believe in you. For that you must take help of the story telling method. This will help you to make your point understandable and easy to digest. In fact, when people listen to the story they would easily be able to connect to what you are telling. It is seen that most of the leading motivational speakers take help of the three act structure or the story line while giving a good speech to keep the listeners stick to what the speaker has to say.

Identify the audience and the listeners

It is important that you identify the listeners before only. You must do some home work before so that you can find out what the readers like and what kind of things they would like to hear. You can adjust your motivational speech a bit in that regards. If you wish you can even keep the question and answer session after the speech so that this would be more like an interactive session. When talking with the audience, you must use evocative language so that the listeners would better connect with the speech.

The good speech should be good at the time when it is written

A good speech is something that motivational speakers would deliver. But the speech should be good from the time it is written. It’s good, if the speaker writes it on own. But if he is not too good in writing then at least he should contribute with some of the points. So, that he would be thorough with the topic. If the speaker is well learnt and well read about the topic then words would come out like magic. In the end, when its time to say bye, there should not be simple bye. In fact, it should be something that will give the listeners many points to think. In fact, there should be a question and answer session so that the listeners can interact better with the speaker and the speaker can provide perfect answers to the people who put up the questions.

Listen to the best motivational speakers’ speeches

It’s good to listen to the best motivational speakers’ speech. But that is good only to the extent that you would seek inspiration. Do not adopt anyone’s style. Just keep in touch with your inner instincts. You must talk to your audience in such a style that it would help you in making your point very clear. Also, when they listen to you, they should be inspired by you and the speech. If you adopt someone else’s style then that would not be something your listeners would expect from you.

You can become an expert motivational speaker only after you get perfect exposure to the topic. So, take up the research thoroughly over the topic till you get satisfied. You should be a suggestive speaker and not the one who blames and creates guilt in the minds of the people. So, be ready to create a great connection between yourself and the audience with your speech.

Virginia Water Blazing the Trail

In Bill Bryon's latest novel, The Road to Little Dribbling, one chapter details a wonderful period in Bryson's life where he unexpectedly became an employee in a mental health institution. This comical account is set in Holloway Sanatorium, Virginia Water where the very wealthy, who suffered mental illness were able to reside in relative luxury in this secure NHS owned hospital. 

Holloway Sanatorium was built by Henry Crossland for 'mentally afflicted persons' in 1884 and still stands today. The patients are however long gone and today the estate known as Virginia Park is home to a mix of residents who enjoy living in a gated community.

Bryson has very fond memories of the sanatorium, as it was while living there that he met his wife Cynthia. And although Holloway was full of long-term patients who were "quite mad," he loved the quintessential Englishness of the place.

It was in the 1980s that Holloway Sanatorium closed its doors to patients. The grand estate then lay fallow for many years. Thieves took advantage of the disrepair by stealing parts of the roof with the house decaying over time and becoming dangerous.

Then, quite by chance during a family holiday in America, local Virginia Water Resident and Estate Agent Hugh Wyatt spotted a gated community, which had been developed with high class homes, 24 hour security and residents leisure facilities. Hughdecided to take this concept back to England to see if he could create a similar development in his home village.

Wyatt's visionary concept took a great deal of time and effort to develop but it was worth the wait. Working in conjunction with his brother, who owned high end homebuilder Octagon Developments and a local financier, Wyatt was responsible for the first ever UK development where a large Victorian hospital was just part of the plan.  This ground breaking idea has become known as "enabling development".  The only way to make the development viable was to build new houses on the estate which would help cover the cost of restoring the wonderful grade I listed building.

As this was the brain child of Hugh Wyatt, his award winning estate agency, Barton Wyatt, were the selling agents on the estate. Their figures reveal that the real cost of creating each of the homes within the listed building was over £1,000,000 however the houses were sold in 1995 for an affordable £500,000. Today they meet their true value being priced at £1,000,000 - £2,000,000. In contrast the new build homes within the grounds of Virginia Park were originally sold for £325,000 and are now worth around £1,100,000.
 

Some of the owners who bought these homes some 20 years ago are still there today. In this beautiful environment set within 25 acres and with 24-hour gated security, Virginia Park is a fabulous place to live. 

James Wyatt, son of Hugh and now partner of Barton Wyatt, comments:

"I feel immense pride towards Virginia Park and in particular the work that my father and uncle put into creating a development that was the first of its kind in the UK.  They came up against many hurdles during the planning but were very insistent that it was a feasible notion and found solutions to all of the challenges they faced." 

When asked if Holloway House - now known as Crossland House - is haunted, Wyatt says:

"I don't believe in ghosts so it is hard for me to say.  Some of my staff have certainly had the feeling of being watched whilst in the main building.  The contractors who worked on the regeneration were forever telling tales of things that go bump and equipment disappearing or being moved.  Certainly our residents love living there and no one has ever moved out that I know off because of the paranormal!"

Bill Bryson certainly never mentioned ghosts in his tales of Virginia Water.  He fell in love, got married and bought a house in the area, staying for 12 happy years whilst he was a journalist at The Times.
