Some motivational speakers are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to speak to stadium-sized crowds. People buy books, listen to podcasts, and attend seminarsall in the hope of finding the motivation to accomplish their goals or make their dreams come true. Without question, people want to be motivated! However, there is probably a difference between a celebrity speaker stirring up a crowd and someone who can genuinely motivate othersto reachtheir goals. Motivational speaker Tony Robbins recently got into some trouble when sixty people were injured while tryingto walk barefoot across a bed of hot coals after attending one of his presentations (read about it here - Tony Robbins Hot Coal Walkers Burned). Was that motivation? You decide.

1. Tell me whom you selected and why.
2. Provide an example (supported by research) of a time when this individual served as a motivator for others.
3. Based on the experience of being motivated yourself, and your experience motivating others, what is it about this person that you believe made or makes them a motivator. Do they motivate YOU? Why?
