TIPS FOR BOOSTING MOTIVATION TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION

Feeling low?

One of the key trademarks of depression is the lack of motivation to do things. For instance, you don’t feel encouraged to workout or spend time with friends, or work.

To do anything, you have to push yourself really hard to be productive. Some days might be more challenging than others, and that’s totally fine.

Check out our new post to know key tips to overcome depression and stay motivated when feeling low.

How to Make Your Speech Powerful and Inspirational

https://pro-motivate.com/about/

 You must have attended more speeches than you can count. 

Some of those speeches motivated you to take action. But many of those speeches left you bored, confused or even exhausted. No wonder why you wouldn't leave any stone unturned to prepare a powerful and inspirational speech.

But the question is, can you do that?

It is a common belief that great speakers are born. But this is not true. Public speaking is not an inborn skill. You can deliver a mesmerizing speech by working over certain things. Here's how...

 Identify Your Primary Message:

An efficient speaker lets their audience know what the speech is all about within a few moments.

When the speech is over, people should understand the message you intended to give, and what you want them to do. If you want your audience to take a certain action, they should be aware of what that action would be.

Otherwise, you would not be able to keep your audience engaged. While your speech can include multiple messages, make sure to focus on the primary message. 

Incorporate Storytelling:

We all love stories. After all, nothing can keep us engaged like a story. Storytelling can be used in two ways.

Firstly, you can use stories to introduce your topic and get your audience engaged in what you have to "present" next. For example, you can say--Imagine....then take pause. Then, without any further delay, tell the story.

Secondly, storytelling can be used to deliver your speech. For example, you can weave a story throughout the speech. Or you can introduce a story in the beginning middle, and end.

You can also set your story as part of your personal experience. It will make your speech sound more authentic. For example, you can say--Just yesterday I met a friend or my dad thinks I...

Rhetorical questions can also be introduced if it fits the speech. For instance, you can say-- Do you remember when....

 Do Research On Your Audience:

Make sure to know your audience. Who are they? Where do they come from? What are their problems?

Good thing is that you don't need to conduct a door-to-door survey to know your audience.

Just understanding the context of your speech can do the trick. For example, if the topic of your speech is how to choose the right career, the obvious audience would be the fresh graduates. So researching your topic would introduce you to their pain points.

 Make Your Delivery More Lively:

Nothing could kill your speech better than sounding monotonous. This is the key reason why many people fall asleep or lose their interest during the speech. Talking like as if you are reading out of a book to them will be boring.

Create a speech like you speak. Therefore, you need to make your delivery vibrant. You can support your points with anecdotes, studies, and graphics (if possible).

Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a boring topic. It all depends on the way you present it. An efficient speaker can make the topic of chemistry sounds interesting by choosing the right way of presentation.

 Deliver an Engaging, Memorable Call to Action:

The call to action which occurs at the end of a motivational speech is where you clearly tell your audience to do their parts.  

If you don't convince people exactly what you want them to do, they are less likely to do it. 

Some of the commonly used CTAs are "Stand with Us", "Buy it Now" "Come and See the Difference". 

Make sure to create a call to action according to the needs, fears, desires, and hopes of your audience--not yours. 

 Be Prepared:

Before you enter the podium or screen, make sure you are prepared to give the best speech. After you are done with the speech, revise it. Then, you can read it out loud. This will be useful to identify the pitch, the tone as well as the additional edits. 

When you prepare for the speech, you can stand in front of a mirror or record yourself using the phone. The key is here to practice your speech and analyze your performance.

So these are some tips to make your speech memorable, effective, and inspirational. All you need to identify your audience, working over the presentation, incorporating storytelling, and practicing over it. All the best.

6 most effective steps to build a Diverse & Inclusive company for Modern Business

America and American businesses are undergoing the much-needed soul searching about race and equity in the workspace. Corporations across America are affirming their commitments to diversity,

The Covid-19 Pandemic has changed the way how companies operate around the world. Employees are now looking forward to having a highly flexible work environment moving ahead as hybrid work models are finding their way into companies. Although the hybrid workspaces are acting as a catalyst in the creation of a diverse, equal, and inclusive (DE&I) work environment, there are some challenges - the most obvious being the differentiation in the categories of in-office and remote-working employees.

The key component of DE&I is the promotion of equity on the basis of gender, race, and other protected classes, while the broader component is discipline. The motive is to create a level playing field where rewards and advancement opportunities are provided irrespective of the variable in play. Companies have been working towards creating a healthy balance between the in-house and remote-working teams.

Let us discuss the 6 most effective steps to build a diverse and inclusive company for modern business.

Create a diverse hiring panel

If you want to hire for diverse skills and backgrounds, it is necessary to set up a multi-member hiring panel. While you can yourself take care of the hiring requirements of a company, it is better to not stay isolated and instead have a diverse committee that can work cohesively in overcoming the biases. The members of the committee can review each candidate based on various metrics, and if the environment is safe and mutually inclusive, then the feedback generated will be diverse which will allow you to hire the best talent from the pool. Small businesses can overcome the obstacle of having an in-house hiring committee by soliciting from individual consultants and professionals.

 Review your company’s application process

Diversity starts at the entry point for potential employees who wish to work with your company. The first step is to review your job posts and ensure that the job profile and work description do not have gender-biased verbiage. The resumes should be processed through the screening process by keeping the candidate names hidden. This will ensure that your hiring committee or team reviews only the candidate’s skills and background without having access to any personal information that can become a point for personal bias or grudge. Job openings should be promoted on multiple platforms across geographical locations so that a large pool of candidates can apply for the profile. A larger candidate pool will ultimately result in more equity and diversity.

 Give more weightage to motivation and traits rather than looking only for skills

It is a well-known fact that some of the best team players have worked in diverse industries and backgrounds. The focus should be on company culture and candidates who are team players should be encouraged to skill up and grow as professionals. While skills can be taught, motivation only comes from within. Having a determined employee who is willing to commit the time and resources towards finding the right set of traits such as soft skills or attention to detail will allow you the benefit of having a broad pool of applications and increase diversity.

  Interview a large number of candidates

Diversity has more to do with experience than the only ethnic or racial background. It is best to interview a large number of candidates so that you can have a rich environment due to a diverse team. The diversity in the workplace comes in many forms such as educational background, cultural background, previous work experience, languages, geographic locations, and so on. A remote working environment encourages diversity in an easier fashion as compared to previous processes. Instead of a local team, focus on building a global team.

 Build a diversity-oriented culture at the workplace

Diversity is a part of the company culture and it impacts the company decisions. It should be a standing topic in the standup meetings conducted each week and employees should be encouraged to bring up ideas relevant to DE&I.

 Conduct blind assessment tests for candidates

Potential candidates should be given an opportunity to take a blind assessment test where you can evaluate them for the required skills. This process works well where there are a number of applicants for the same position in the company. Although you must remember that AI or computer programs can make mistakes and hence it is best to conduct a thorough review of the candidate’s resume.

 Moving forward into the new era of remote working, it has become imperative for company management to factor in DE&I in a broad sense, and resolve the inequity between in-office and remote-working employees. If this consideration is integrated into the hybrid work models, then equal advancement and growth opportunities can be ensured for all employees.
