Motivational training seminars are a very useful way to get yourself or employees focused, inspired and ready to be productive. In order to put together an effective seminar you must accomplish a few things.
First, decide where you want the seminar to take place. Then see if that facility is available. If your company or organization has the space, think about using your facilities in order to keep the costs down. Now decide on how long this seminar is going to be. If you are planning an all day event, meals are going to need to be considered. Will the participants bring their own or will food be offered? You need to decide who pays for the meals, the participants or you. If meals are offered will there be alternatives for those who require special diets? What about beverages, will you supply water only, or perhaps coffee, tea, and soft drinks as well? OK, you have the space, time frame and meal situations handled -- now what?
You need speakers to attend your motivational training seminars. Local speakers are a good idea. If your event is an all day event, consider having 2 or more speakers. Two half day speakers may be less costly and it gives the participant's variety. Listening to the same person all day long can get monotonous, no matter how talented they are. Variety will keep the attendants interested, and your goal is to have them leave with some new information or skill. That is a good point. Before selecting a speaker or speakers, you need a topic. Also consider who will be attending this seminar -- sales professionals, engineers, customer service reps, business owners? What are your goals for this seminar? Be sure that you understand what you want the participants to gain from this training. If you have a clear understanding of what your goals are, you are more likely to produce a successful seminar.
