Why You Should Hire One

Every time a conference is held for young people, there is a specific need to have a youth conference speaker. Perhaps this is primarily because most young people are very different from adult audience. For one, young people are very impatient. If they could not relate to whatever a speaker is saying, they will just immediately turn away and start chatting with their seatmates.

Additionally, young people could not help their reaction to fun. Once they sense that boredom is hovering somewhere within a speech, they will find ways to entertain themselves, which includes not listening to the speech altogether. There are so many reasons, but it all goes down to the fact that having young people for a conference audience will get you stressed out. Click to continue »

Hiring a Motivational Speaker for Youth

Kids are very easy to talk to, as making the pitch of your voice a little higher would be fairly enough. Adults, too, have very much cultivated themselves to know what to do when they are being talked to. Teenagers, on the other hand, will require so much more effort on your side.

It’s not that young people are generally disrespectful. It just happens that, being in a transition stage, they are at a very emotionally unstable time in their lives. They don’t know what proper conduct means, they don’t even care about what people think about them. For most teenagers, the world revolves around them, everything else that disagrees should go away. That’s the reason why a lot of parents go haywire once their child gets into adolescence period. Now, if talking to one teenager is excruciatingly difficult, what more talking to a large group of teenagers? Click to continue »

Speaking To Youth

Speaking To Youth

Adults are a totally different audience than youth. Yes, it’s easier to communicate to adults because you somewhat have an idea of what they are going through. Teenagers on the other hand have a plethora of issues that they can be going through and it’s hard for speakers to hit the mark.

But that’s no excuse not to speak to them. In fact it’s more important to speak to youth than it is adults because the decisions we make as young people can affect the choices we make as adults. There are many adults that wish they would’ve made different choices when they were teens.

Youth can be rebellious in their own ways. They will do whatever their parents tell them not to do just to act bad. Some will even runaway from home. Many will not get good grades in school and will skip classes and get behind. This of course leads to students dropping out of high school. Click to continue »

Hire a Youth Speaker

Youth SpeakingAre you looking into hiring a youth speaker but have no idea where to look?

Well you are not alone. Many event planners are in the same boat because there is a lot of pressure that comes with hiring the right speaker for your event. It’s good to first see who the audience is going to be. If you bring in a youth speaker just because your audience is teens, you may be in trouble.

You must look into the background of your speaker and even interview that person over the phone. The last thing you want is to bring in a speaker that is full of himself and cannot relate to any of the students.

Some questions you may ask a speaker before you hire him to speak to your youth.

How long have you been in the speaking business?

What is your highest level of education?

Do you have a set fee?

Do you have a one sheet with speaking topics?

These are only a couple of examples of questions that you must always ask before hiring a speaker. The point is to have a reference sheet for you to look at when communicating with a speaker. Speakers know they have to asnswer questions and they are ready to provide answers. This is not like buying a car where you have to think about it, give a price, wait while the salesman talks to his manager. Not at all, you simply ask enough questions for you to feel comfortable about hiring the youth speaker you are contacting.

Be professional about it. Keep in mind that you and the speaker need to have the students in mind every step of the way and this will help you make a decision on which person best fits your audience.
