Inspirational and Motivational School Speakers for Personal Development

Throughout history inspirational speeches, delivered by respected leaders, have helped galvanise lesser mortals to achieve almost impossible feats. From Churchill to Martin Luther King ordinary people have been guided towards ultimate achievement by inspiring words delivered with passion. The great bard himself William Shakespeare recognised the power of evocative talk when he penned King Henry’s speech to his army before the Battle of Agincourt – a bonding speech to build up the common soldier to the level of the throne.

‘We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother’

From Lord Admiral Nelson to Sir Steve Redgrave, impossible feats of courage and effort have been summoned by motivational talk.
