How to run successful offsite meetings?

Here’s the formula to run successful offsite meetings:
Why. There are a few purposes to our off sites. It is one of the best ways to get all the offices together for a gathering that might take place only once a year. According to Hanny Hindi author of the book  ’Startup CEO’ the main purpose of the offsite is to “pull out of our day-to-day duties and tackle strategic issues that require more uninterrupted time. The secondary purpose is to continue to build and develop both personal relationships and team dynamics. It’s critically important to build and sustain deep relationships across the executive team”.
Who. Offsite can include the Executive Committee, the SMT (Senior Management Team) or part of full company employee count depends on the agenda and the area of impact a company wants to highlight.
Where. Off sites can happen anywhere but within your corporate compound walls. You can choose nicer locations within a conference-oriented hotel or at a more fun, resort kind of place anywhere in India or abroad.
When. Off sites are ideal at least four times per year, depends on the budget and time off, at roughly equal intervals. It can be a Kick Off, planning, evaluation, strategy, training or team bonding events
What. Off sites can have a serious or fun tone to it, or a mix of both with intensive learning, brainstorm, presentations and leisure activities. Off sites help you define your culture, evaluate strategies, resolve problems, initiate plans or help you retain focus on the majors. Off sites can have a central theme or key focus areas, which accentuates organizational values and vision. You can also break for subgroup meetings and ad hoc conversations. Some conversations at an informal setting might help the leadership team to come up with better ideas for executing plans and strategies. You can also conclude the meetings with a closing “recap” exercise as well.
How. An opportunity to spend time with your team – bonding time. However it is also important to get fresh insights and perspectives from external speakers and thought leaders who can motivate the team and facilitate a learning experience. An executive coach or a motivational speaker with flair to management insights can ignite sparks within the audience.

How to become a professional motivational speaker in India?

As a professional keynote speaker I have worked with over 700 plus clients in 12 countries addressing to over a quarter million executives in the last few years. Over the years I have polished the skills of my persuasion skills and podium communication to engage my audience and hold their attention for hours and some times even for few days. Since I receive regular emails from people who seek tips to become a motivational speaker, I thought I would share some professional insights that will perhaps boost your career as well.

1. Start with a bang.

People will not pay attention to the usual stuff. To gain attention, we need to interrupt that pattern. Remember that everyone is in some sort of hypnosis, some kind of preoccupation; you need to wake them up at first. May be you can begin with a statement that will grab the audience attention – something that will violate their conventional knowledge and belief. See how Newspaper articles begin with a headline. News broadcasts begin with a teaser. Your job at the beginning of a talk is to capture attention and convince your audience that it’s in their interest to listen. All’s well that begins well.

2. Connect with your audience

Make sure what you are going to say is important for the audience. It should be about meeting the goals and aspirations of your audience, solving their problems and concerns. The speech should not be about you bragging about yourself.

3. Speak with authority

If you are not an authority on the subject, then don’t bother to take up assignments that known nothing much about. Always speak with conviction and authority, just as to remind the audience that you know what you are talking about. Instead of theorizing your speech, be practical about it and take a common sense approach. To tell a story, you must own the story. Don’t talk about somebody else’s taxy cab experience.

4. Be a storyteller.

Facts tell, but stories sell. Story telling is a great tool to get into your topic. Use anecdotes and personal experiences to build your story. When speaking, your objective should be to give the audience a gift of something that you have learned. If you don’t have many personal experiences relevant to the topic, then give good case studies and stories of people your audience can connect with. Some times great audio visual is good to elaborate a point.

5. Keep the momentum

Make sure that every new bit of information you provide builds on what came before. Each idea should lead to another until you are able present the whole idea in full. You can present a speech like a pitch, when you present the problems first and suggest the solutions last.

Why you should Invite a motivational speaker for your business

 

Because it is down to you. You, as the business owner, must play a huge role in this – you can’t expect staff to feel motivated if they are caught up in the monotonous day-to-day routine, without anything to motivate them.

If your staff do lack motivation you will see a significant reduction in their productivity and this will become very apparent in their work, which will start having a detrimental effect on your business. Meanwhile, motivate them and they will have more drive and passion within their role, which can only benefit your company.

There are several ways you can motivate your staff – perhaps provide training opportunities, more social events, pay incentives, make positive changes to their working environment, allow them to voice their opinions – both positive and negative, and so on.

But, while these will all play a role when it comes to increasing motivation, one things you should definitely do is hire a motivational speaker – perhaps to come and talk at one of your social events.

Not sold on hiring a motivational speaker? Here is why you should:

They will boost drive and determination: 

When your employees are motivated the work atmosphere will be happier, more energetic and focused. There are a number of ways motivational speakers can do this – they might use stories of adversity and challenges they have overcome or they may tell inspirational tales of somebody making a difference in the world. Ultimately enabling your employees to inspire and motivate themselves.

They bring knowledge and skill:

Choose a speaker tailored to your business and, as well as motivation, they can bring with them knowledge and skills in that sector. As a result your staff learn something useful and at the same time feel motivated to put it into practice.

They will bring fresh ideas and new perspectives:

You can get stuck in a rut doing the same tasks, in the same way, all day, every day. Changes bring challenges and it might feel like, as much as you would like to change, you don’t have time for these challenges. Plus, not everyone will be welcome to change. But for the company to excel, it must keep adapting – not only keeping up with the competition but getting ahead of them. This is where your motivational speaker comes in – they can bring with them new ideas and a fresh perspective for your staff and the company as a whole – helping to change attitudes and allow things to be seen in a whole new light.

Five reasons why you should hire a motivational speaker for your next conference.

Motivational Speakers in India. Hiring a motivational speaker as an external speaker at your conferences has several advantages. Apart from what they typically do: like inspiring an audience to act on audacious goals or to tap into their innate potential to stretch their limits, or showcase passion at work; they also fit for afternoon slots of conferences, when the energy is likely to fall low.

Here are five reasons why you should hire a motivational speaker to speak at your annul meets, management offsite or town halls.

1.Accentuate your conference theme
Let your conference theme be anything from ‘winning together, accelerate, yes we can, or raise the bar’; an effective motivational speaker can give thought provoking perspectives that will engage the audience with the central theme of the conference.

2. Get people out of their comfort zone.
Most companies go through remarkable growth and noteworthy successes and eventually this lead to a level of comfort among its employees. Instead of perusing excellence, its employees are satisfied with a maintenance mindset to preserve the past successes. In some cases employees lose the drive to conquer higher heights, meet bigger targets and solve further challenges. In this context, the motivational speaker help the audience to get back the hunger and aggression required for future successes.

3.Prepare the team to embrace bigger targets.
As companies grow, so do their ambitious goals and sales targets grow in many folds. To understand organizational goals and to achieve them; participants must not only driven to find meaning in their work but also must find several means to achieve their goals. Seeing the larger picture and acting with accountability and ownership is the key here. To get the team move forward, they must be constantly stay motivated and driven. A good speaker can instill confidence among its participants and help them realize their human potential, to achieve any goals both individually and collectively.

4.Emphasis teamwork.
Individual recognition and achievements will make winners think more like stars in a team than a star team. To achieve anything worthwhile, we need the help of a cohesive team that collaborates on mutual outcomes. An effective motivational speaker can reinforce the importance of team work, get them excited about a compelling vision and can bring them together in one voice to embrace it together.

5. Provide Tools that will deliver high performance
There is no point in having a motivational speaker who motivates people for some time and then the motivation actually leaves the conference room as the speaker makes his exit. Delivering concepts during an inspirational speech can change the thinking of an audience, but what’s even more powerful is the application of productivity tools that can eventually change their behavior. An effective motivational speaker is a change catalyst and he/she can effectively influence the behavior and habits of their audience through the use of productivity and performance tools.
