Search online for “top inspirational speakers” and two of the people at the top of the search will be Katie Ledecky and Les Brown.
Katie Ledecky is a 10-time Olympic Medalist. She won Gold seven times and Silver three times. She is a twenty one time Gold Medalist in the World Championship. The most of any female athlete.
My wife and I never met Katie Ledecky, however we watched the broadcast or replay of many of her races in the pool.
Les Brown is considered one of the most famous inspirational speakers. He is a radio and TV personality and an author.
When I decided to make professional speaking more than a hobby, I worked with Les Brown in a small group setting for a number of years.
If you conduct a similar search for “top motivational speakers” two of the top names on this list are Nick Vujicic and Tony Robbins.
Even though Nick is considered a top motivational speaker he is without a doubt right up there with Les Brown as the top inspirational speaker. He was born with no arms and no legs. Meanwhile he travels all over the world speaking to audiences and inspiring people with his messages.
I have been in the audience and in a smaller more intimate group with Nick Vujicic a few times. He is a wonderful human being and you cannot help but to love him when you meet him in person.
Tony Robbins is known and widely considered the world’s most well known motivational speaker. When you’re in his presence his height and well built frame may be intimidating, however he has an energy about him that grips you.
I have listened to many of his audios, watched a number of his videos and read his books. Today, Tony Robbins remains as one of my coaches and mentors from a distance through his messages and delivery.
You may find other names from these two searches to be more interesting for you.
I need to add there are a few others who I read and listen to their speaking both in person and recorded. To name just a few – James Clear, Daymond John and Gary Vaynerchuk.
One name that I’m shocked is not on these lists is my good friend John C. Maxwell.
An amazing speaker, motivator, world changer and teacher. A story for another article.
