In a world of growing pessimism and discouragement people are hungry for hope and inspiration. After constantly hearing, “no, you can’t do that” or even, “you’ll never accomplish that” people want to realize “yes I can.”
 

Karl Mecklenburg, highly touted NFL Speaker, former Denver Bronco captain and All-Pro player strives to deliver hope and strategies for success in each of his presentations. For Karl, success is not an issue of talent, for according to Karl each of us has been blessed with more talent than we’ll ever realize. Rather, success becomes a matter of choice-a choice of how we manage the inherent talent we have.
 

Rising up from the “underrated” ranks as a 12th round draft pick in the NFL to six Pro Bowl and three Super Bowl appearances, Karl draws on years of experience as a pro football player in order to paint a picture of success and optimism for his listeners with the intent of instilling key strategies for success: teamwork, courage, honesty, forgiveness, dedication and goal setting.
 

Karl’s audiences are as vast and varied as the unique talents which he feels are in each of us. From students, to corporate leaders, to PTA moms Karl’s message finds listening ears wherever he goes. Again and again he strives to instill the “success as a possibility” mindset whatever the situation; work, relationships, home, and even personal battle fields. For Karl, there is no quick fix-long term, positive change is the only solution. Karl is a story teller-the journey of life filled with success and optimism his hallmark.

A key note is the note that determines the key in which a song will played or sung. Similarly a “key”note speaker is a speaker who delivers a message to set the tone for a meeting or convention.

Almost all large conventions and gatherings feature a keynote speaker. For instance, the Democratic and Republican national conventions feature the presidential candidate as the keynote speaker whose responsibility it is to set the tone and the underlying message for the political campaign and to inspire enthusiasm in their audience.

Whether national or local, conventions, meetings, and other events occur among groups of people who have a common interest–whether it’s a religious commonality or a community, service, or business commonality. No matter the event or the shared aim, a skilled keynote speaker can help motivate and inspire the specific audience of any event.

The key to a good keynote speaker is to get someone who has name recognition or accomplishments so that the audience will be excited for the speaker and will be more apt to pay attention during the address. Also, someone with unique experience is ideal because he or she may have exciting experiences to share and illustrate principles.

For instance, a good motivational speaker who speaks at a variety of events to deliver an array of different messages is Karl Mecklenburg. A former NFL player for the Denver Broncos, Mecklenburg is an NFL speaker who is not only a skilled speaker, but also has a plethora of unique professional and personal experiences to help inspire audiences.

Whatever the event, the right motivational speaker can inspire your audience with the desire to change, improve, or take an interest in whatever cause you’re promoting.

I used to hear all the time that, when polled, the average American had two greatest fears. The first was public speaking and the second was death. I used to feel the same way when I was a kid. I would rather be dead than speak in public.

Occasionally in elementary school, the teacher would ask a question to the whole class and then go around the room and have each student answer. I would tremble in fear, dreading the moment when it would be my turn to say something in front of the whole class, even if it only required a one word answer. Five minutes would stretch into an eternity. As my turn drew closer, my heart would beat faster, my palms would start to sweat, my hands would shake. I couldn’t even listen to what was being said because I had to formulate my answer over and over in my head so I wouldn’t mess it up. Every inch of me was rigid, awaiting the dreaded moment I would have to say something in front of every person in the class. When it was finally my turn, I would inevitably say it too softly and the teacher would make me repeat it louder.

Fortunately, as I’ve grown up I have somewhat overcome my fear of public speaking, but not completely. I still get nervous. My heart still beats faster and faster as my time to speak approaches. I will never be a stand up comedian or one of those motivational NFL speakers, but at least I don’t have a nervous breakdown when I stand up to speak. That is an accomplishment for me.
