One Of My Favorite Motivational Speeches
If you want to become a motivational keynote speaker, or even a better motivational speaker, you should listen to other speeches – not to take their content, but to trigger ideas of your own. We can learn a lot by listening to other speakers – even if it’s what not to do. So with that in mind, today I want to share with you one of my speeches – in particular, my favorite. It was written for a group of Child Life Workers – people whose job is to work with terminally ill children.
This is not a job – it is a calling.
These people aren’t just hard workers – they are gifted angels. They take care of our most prized possessions – our children. And they grow to love our children just like we do. And their stories never have a happy ending.
This speech was written for the ChildLife Conference in 2010. I am sending you to the page on my website that holds some of my recorded speeches. You’ll find the ChildLife Conference Speech near the bottom of this page. I hope you enjoy. I hope it blesses. I hope you get some ideas on how to tell your story to the world. And I hope you hug your child a little longer tonight.
