The Special Qualities Of A Keynote Speaker

By Robert Thomas


Certain persons are given the job of giving a speech for convocations, shows or meetings for large groups of people. They are tasked to give resources to all those present for things like a general overview of an industry, miscellaneous information and important items that need to be noted. There are professionals of this type who are hired to deliver clear and concise oratory that is sometimes laced with humor.

Certain persons who are capable of holding an audience with a speech are some of the best operators for the meetings industry. They are usually gifted and personable speakers with a sense of humor, capable of providing light and life to a meeting. Sometimes he is the keynote speaker, and he is a professional who is trained in speaking before events where his services have been contracted for.

An audience can be composed of professionals from all parts of the industry, people who have come because of interest or invitations. The most effective speaker is one who has studied his stuff and can field all the issues. The period he stands before this audience is more or less 45 minutes, long enough to completely cover all that is required and short enough not to make people impatient.

Some organizations want somebody who is recognized as a motivational resource person and popular within or without the organization. Often, this person is an excellent orator who can inject lightheartedness into some specific problems and provide insights that those involved in the industry are not able to. The impact he has is all about inspiration and emotional connectedness.

The price tag for a person who gives a keynote address is quite high. Still, many groups or companies do avail of his services because they are highly necessary, as can be testified by other groups who have hired him. He will carry the day for what could be a boring meeting of a large group of unmotivated people.

The fact that he can be lumped with other speakers is somewhat confusing, because there will be some overlapping of roles. If you think about it, he can be an inspirational or even a motivational leader because he does these things also. And further, he is not a person who does breakout, plenary or industry speeches.

The highlighting of business trends, unique developments within an industry, and certain relevant news items are the set of items he will note for an audience. Some people who do not belong to the meetings industry might mistake his talents for a performance artist, a magician or a closing or opening speaker, but without a doubt he works within high standards of excellence. It becomes obvious when he starts speaking.

Analysis and synthesis are also some things that this speaker does. Often, he is brought in to lead out a training seminar or program for professional enhancement. But he will always be the one who itemizes the key points so that they stay relevant and thought of by a group for the duration of a meeting.

Some resources are used by this person to really grip an audience or point them into the wanted direction. There may be video clips, tables, charts and Powerpoint slides during his speech. The thing is, these must be used to support his duty of putting the important messages right where everyone is able to appreciate them.
