After Dinner Speech - Best Top Tips From a Professional After Dinner Speaker

Are you a potential after dinner speaker looking for golf jokes to use for an after dinner speech at a golf club dinner? If so you are very likely to be about to make the biggest mistake amateur speakers can make in preparing their speech. Read on to learn why.

Don't tell me! Someone mentioned they were looking for an after dinner speaker for an important event and you, in a moment of weakness or sheer madness, said you would do it. And now, as the evening rapidly approaches, you have swallowed a little of your precious pride and decided to seek help or search for some speech material you might us. Am I right?

Let me begin by saying this, if it is of any consolation, you are not the first and most certainly won't be the last to put your mouth into gear before engaging your brain. Many years back, flattered by friends who said I was a natural comedian, I did exactly the same and what follows are some of my best top tips to make the coming event a little less daunting, and hopefully help you by describing some of the basic mistakes I made in those early days whilst dying as an inexperienced, after dinner speaker.

Many people, including some of my friends, believe comedians are born funny and then somehow become a natural, polished, humorous entertainer. Nothing is further from the truth. Some top, after dinner speakers develop their skill as children as a method of dealing with school bullies, and the everyday anguish growing-up causes so many of us in those terrible teenage times. For far too many, school is not the best days of your life as described by those for whom time has distorted the truth; but a living hell, made a little easier by learning to make others laugh as a means of defense.

Some of the best after dinner speakers on the professional circuit began studying the subject after realising how powerful a tool it is in entertaining and amusing a captive audience, in convivial company, after a meal. The fact that others were prepared to pay money to have someone make others laugh would, initially, have been a bonus, and later, with lots of experience and 'gigs' under their belt, an effect way to earn a living.

For those amongst you who are thinking about using after dinner speaking as a means of making a living, my advice is to carefully consider whether your dream could ever become a reality. Professional, after dinner speaking is one of the most difficult occupations in which to earn a decent living. There are lots of after dinner speakers out there offering their polished skill as a service, and relatively few speaker engagements available to ply their trade.

Most after dinner speakers are hired through an agent. The difficulty for those wanting to become an after dinner speaker is that agents are only interested in established, quality, popular speakers with a proven ability to give an after dinner speech.

Such after dinner speakers have so much experience; they no longer have 'off days'. Their reputation for excellence is already in place, and this removes the element of chance that event organisers take when engaging a less experienced, amateur, after dinner speaker. What event organisers gain in cash saving is insignificant when compared to their potential loss of reputation with which they gamble when engaging cheap amateurs.

If you are considering giving after dinner speeches as a profession, please believe me when I say that being a successful, fulltime, professional after dinner speaker is seriously hard work and is a dream that is, for most, very difficult to achieve. In regard to quality of life, it will mean many late nights, often away from home and your loved ones. The occupation of after dinner speaker is not nearly as glamorous as some would imagine. It can be an extremely tiring and demanding occupation with variable rewards.

If, all that said, you are still interested in how to give an effective, entertaining after dinner speech, perhaps as a one-off or hobby, what follows are my best, top tips:

I begin by offering some reassurance - most audiences make allowances for a courageous amateur doing his or her best to entertain them. They often hold a 'better them than me' attitude.

A survey carried out in America showed that more people fear public speaking than death. Which, I guess means, that at a funeral, Americans would rather be the individual lying in the coffin than the poor soul providing the eulogy to the mourners!

Some, attempting to perform as an effective after dinner speaker, fail because they don't work hard enough at being funny. Being funny is seriously hard work and not that funny.

After dinner speaking is no different to any other skilled profession. The fortunate few funny folk having all the lucky breaks is nonsense. Luck plays little part in whether or not you are likely to succeed as an after dinner speaker.

It was Gary Player who said, "The more I practise the luckier I get". This is as relevant to after dinner speaking as it is in golf. However the best, professional, after dinner speakers work on the principal that practise in itself is not sufficient, as many a frustrated, addicted golfer will also testify.

Preparation is an essential ingredient in successful, after dinner speaking. There is a saying - 'failing to prepare is preparing to fail'. Learn about your audience before you start, and never forget that preparation, before presenting, is paramount.

At the research stage, you will need to know exactly who makes up the audience. For example, if you are told the diners will be made up from members of a particular profession, ask the organiser where the audience stand in that organisation. Are they managers or machine operators? Such information will help you fine tune your after dinner speech and make it totally relevant to the audience's every day reality.

It is not sufficient to know that all of the audience have an interest in golf. You need to dig deeper. Are they all members of a particular club? Do they have a rival team whom you might poke fun at? Are there any 'characters' in the club who most members would recognise if an after dinner speaker were to describe and exaggerate their most noticeable characteristics?

This brings me to an important point in the art of successful after dinner speech giving.

Quality, after dinner speakers do not tell jokes. Quick-witted 'one-liners' are still in fashion on the after dinner speaker circuit, whereas jokes are not. The 'these three golfers were approaching the 18th hole' type stories will create a chorus of cringes, as many inexperienced after dinner speakers have found, unfortunately, too late to save their delicate feelings.

If an audience of diners have a strong interest in a particular subject the chances are they will have heard each and every joke you have placed in your repertoire a dozen times before. Hopeful you now better understand why I say being a successful after dinner speaker is such hard work. It is not a case of putting an act together and then repeating the speech night after night to different audiences.

For a professional after dinner speaker, what a particular audience of diners consider funny, fluctuates with the years, and is generally accepted as being a subjective and fashionable test. By better understanding who your audience are, as apposed to what they have in common, means you are much more likely to provide an entertaining after dinner speech that will be remembered with affection by the diners, and event organisers for years to come.

The fact that an audience of diners have a common interest in golf will, for a professional after dinner speaker, only act as a theme that weaves its way through their after dinner speech.

Basing your whole after dinner speech on golf jokes is preparing to fail. A quality after dinner speech is a subtle observation of the real life of the audience of diners, delivered humorously by the after dinner speaker.

Superior after dinner speech humour is so much subtler than simply reciting one joke after another. If you happen to be an after dinner speaker who tells joke after boring joke during your speeches, I make no apology if I have offended you by writing so. I never apologise. Sorry, that's just the way I am.

And, if having read the last few sentences, you are still have a problem understanding what it is I am saying, it may be you are without all hope.

Quality after dinner speaking has much to do with a skilful observation of real life. The words used to describe a situation require vocal expression, comic timing, character exaggeration, and carefully placed pauses that are so full of meaning. Frank Carson's catch phrase "It's the way I tell 'em" is the essence of what makes good, after dinner speaking.

For the diners doing the laughing, and for that matter the after dinner speaker too, humour is an escape from their everyday reality. Top after dinner speakers befriend an audience and quickly build a rapport with the diners. As the average after dinner speech provided by a professional after dinner speaker lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, speed in building rapport is an essential requirement in successful after dinner speaking.

To help build rapport, an after dinner speaker will often playfully laugh at themselves. To do so, the after dinner speaker needs to become a philosophical spectator of his or her own life in relation to those they have around them. Effective after dinner speaking is about showing an understanding of what makes people tick and then making witty observations to entertain and amuse the diners.

When next listening to a proficient after dinner speaker notice that many of the topics included in the after dinner speech revolve around problems the after dinner speaker encounters in his or her day-to-day reality.

Top after dinner speakers know there is little difference in people. By making fun of their own problems the after dinner speaker develops an empathy with the diners mainly because the diners have very similar problems to that of the after dinner speaker.

The after dinner speaker is, by helping the diners to come to terms with their own problems, helping them through a difficult dilemma they would, under normal circumstances, prefer not to think about. Following a good meal, and with the well-known therapeutic effect of a moderate amount of alcohol, diners are primed and ready for the light-hearted entertainment a professional, after dinner speaker always provides.

Top after dinner speakers are constantly striving for perfection by reworking their best material. They may be at the top of their profession but they never stop asking the question "How can I make this after dinner story better?" Theirs is a quest for perfection that never comes. Most of the best after dinner speakers are their own worst critic. Depressingly so!

The best after dinner speakers are striving to be ever funnier. For them, providing the best ever after dinner speech, is a lifelong apprenticeship that few have the resolve to complete. If you are giving your first ever after dinner speech, rehearse, rehearse, and rehearse. If possible, try your material out with friends or relatives whom you trust will provide honest, constructive feedback. And if they say you need more jokes in your speech, don't listen to them!

When an after dinner speaker is working on improving his or her after dinner speech material, they will often work on a simplistic definition of the psychology of humour. Mine is - the study of wit in relation to the workings of the human mind and prediction of people behaviour.

To make an after dinner speech humorous, the diners must first predict some outcome, and then be humoured with a punch line that nudges them off their expected route.

To do this, an after dinner speaker must be a great story teller and be aware that in telling the story the majority of diners listening to the talk will be travelling down a particular path, guided by the speaker, only to be nudged from the predicated route. It is this 'nudge' that makes the story humorous. An unexpected outcome can turn a tedious tale into a funny story.

When you next have the opportunity to enjoy a professional, after dinner speaker, be much more analytical about what it is they are saying, and then analyse why what they are saying, appeals to your sense of humour.

By way of example, I consider Woody Allen to be one of the best, humorous storytellers around. Here is a short extract from one of his routines and I would like you to take a few minutes out to analyse. Look particularly at the construction of the story taking into consideration the likes of rapport building, etc, I described earlier:

"When I was little boy, I wanted a dog desperately, and we had no money. I was a tiny kid, and my parents couldn't get me a dog, 'cause we just didn't have the money, so they got me, instead of a dog - they told me it was a dog - they got me an ant. And I didn't know any better, y'know, I thought it was a dog, I was a dumb kid. Called it 'Spot'. I trained it, y'know. Coming home late one night, Sheldon Finklestein tried to bully me. Spot was with me. And I said "Kill!", and Sheldon stepped on my dog."

Now analyse the construction of this short story. Take into account the skilful observation of life Woody Allen uses. Do you believe it possible that maybe he was bullied at school and, at some low point in his childhood, discovered humour made his life a little more bearable by effectively dealing with such obnoxious, bullying characters?

To best understand the quality of Woody Allen as a storyteller you need to appreciate his masterful style of delivery. Otherwise the quote from Woody I have provided above is merely a skeleton that lacks life and flesh.

Woody Allen's genius as a humorous speaker comes from his vocal expression and it is that which puts flesh onto the skeleton of a story. It is his superb comic timing, character exaggeration, and carefully placed pauses that then breathe life into his amusing tale.

If you need to better understand the importance of the ingredients I have described in giving a polished after dinner speech, seek out video clips of Woody Allen and, or a top, professional, after dinner speaker and you should appreciate why I have included them.

For now, take the full stops is Woody's story as being the pauses I described earlier. Does he build empathy by describing a situation that was similar to a problem you may once have had? It is my belief that most people have been bullied at sometime in their life. The fact that the memory of such can still cause pain may be one of the main reasons people would prefer not to speak of such events to others. It is their secret a skilled after dinner speaker has somehow touched upon. The diner can empathise with the speaker and rapport is established.

Ask yourself this:

Was money 'tight' when you were a child? (Rapport)

Is Woody Allen a philosophical spectator of his own life in relation to those around him? (Rapport)

What relationship does Woody with the other characters in the story?

Read through the story again and then consider - does Woody appear to be laughing at himself?

Is Woody appearing to make fun of his own problems encountered whilst child?

As with Woody Allen, during an after dinner speech the speaker becomes a story teller describing the practically enacted theory of the absurdities so often found in human relationships and this is usually related to a 'twist' in the story that makes the tale humorous for the diners.

The 'twist' takes the story away from the norm (the predicted path), and makes it funny. Woody's dog becomes an ant. As the story unfolds Woody creates a movie in your mind. He becomes a storyteller. You are there with him as Finklestein (did you picture Frankenstein) tries to bully him and Spot (his pet ant) is instructed to Kill!

Entertaining, after dinner speakers have the ability to have fun with literal meanings. It is said they can see the funny side of most things. They can, but only when they set the mind to the task. After dinner speakers are performers, providing humorous twists. And, at the end of the day -

(pause) it's midnight. (the twist)

If you wish to make an impact as an after dinner speaker take a topic that has a literal meaning somehow connected to the diners and think of alternative meanings to make it humorous.

By way of example - at an after dinner event where the diners are made up of people connected to the retail industry and, having probed deeper with the event organiser, you may have established that a large part of the audience will be shop owners, you therefore might include:

"I said to the guy next door - I was on my way to the shops and your dog went for me!"

Now think of alternate meaning to 'your dog went for me' i.e. the dog attempted to bite him:

"and he replied - that's impressive; it never went to the shops for me before!"

The listener is nudged from the predicted path making the story humorous and, indirectly relevant to those in the audience who are the shop owners.

I would now like to offer you important advice on the type of material you should not use whilst giving an after dinner speech.

Be extremely careful about using any material that could cause offence to any of the diners. Experienced, successful, professional after dinner speakers are usually very skilled at judging how controversial they can be on topics such as sex, politics, race or religion. If you are new to after dinner speaking, take my advice and avoid all four topics during your speech.

I mentioned earlier that an average after dinner speech, delivered by a professional after dinner speaker, lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. 10 to 15 minutes is sufficient if you are inexperienced at public speaking. Don't mistake smiles or polite laughter as in invitation to go on and on and on and on. Your aim should be to leave the diners wanting more, yet appreciative of the entertainment you have already skilfully provided.

One of the biggest mistakes made by inexperienced, after dinner speakers is their perceived need to read verbatim from copious quantities of notes scribbled on A4 sheets of paper that become totally illegible in the candle light available during your speech.

If you feel it is absolutely necessary to have an aid to memory, acquire something as small as an index card and use the odd word or two, printed in large letters, to jog your memory. Do not read verbatim. Here's why:

And so to my final tip, purposefully left until last because I consider it to be the most important. It is this - when giving a successful after dinner speech- Stop Trying Too Hard!

I understand this initially seem to contradict all I have written about after dinner speaking and the giving of a great speech, but please hear me out.

You have completed the required research, you have prepared and practised your piece and now, as you deliver your masterpiece to an appreciated audience of after dinner diners, I want you to imagine yourself speaking informally, to a small group of close friends and family. People with whom you normally feel totally comfortable and at ease.

You have my word that if on the day, you stop trying too hard, your confidence will grow, you will appear much more relaxed, and, it turn, the diners will be much more at ease and in better positioned to enjoy and appreciate your short masterpiece - the after dinner speech.

Have a great evening.

Motivator for Recession

Menacing clouds gather over commerce and industry. Doom and gloom is all that is forecast. Experience has shown that in difficult times the main difference between companies that manage to weather those approaching storm and those that creek and grown in the wind and then flounder, often fatally, can often be traced back to something as basic as staff morale and their ability to seek adequate shelter. You need a professional motivator now. Read on to learn why.

The severity of the approaching storm, judging by the extraordinary and hasty, emergency contingency plans being implement by the government, is likely to be on the scale of Hurricane Katrina when it devastated New Orleans back in 2005.

In preparation, you can do as many in New Orleans did back then, and hope and pray that the storm will pass you by, or, as some of the wiser did, baton down, secure your investment using all available means, and, with the help of a specialist motivator, wait for the eventual silver lining and rainbow.

You are in the best position to know how to secure the very structure of you business. The issue of staff morale is best left to the professionals – someone specialising as a motivator.

Until that advice is in place, here is some first aid help from a motivator working worldwide and helping his clients prepare for the approaching hurricane.

It is the role of a motivator to create positive thoughts in the minds of others. When a workforce is motivated they are in a better position to help clients and the like to focus away from the ‘negatives’ created by a credit crisis. A motivator helps individuals establish an inner happiness that radiates to those around them. Think how much better you feel when the sun is shining!

A motivator is an essential commodity to be utilised during recession because motivation is inseparable from survival and any related success. Tragically, for many, what is at stake is simple survival.

A professional motivator will have the special ability to take conscious control of the level of employee motivation in your company, assisting your staff to step outside of a comfort zone that may condemn your firm to stagnate through recession and procrastination.

Procrastinate a lot? Not sure? You need a motivator!

Being a good motivator involves the initiation of a process designed to bring about a desired outcome. In other words - some action is required. Find yourself a professional motivator and then make that call. Your business could be at stake if you don’t. Swallow your pride and do it now.

In an ideal world the sun constantly shines and birds sing sweetly. Take a little time out now to check the weather forecast. This is the lull before the storm! There is no doubt it is coming and so take some advice from a former boy scout, now motivator, ‘be prepared’.

As an employer, ideally, you want your staff to be self-motivated, purposeful in their tasks, with the minimum of direct supervision. Am I right?

With the help of a motivator you will find that motivation is the greatest asset to help you through the inevitable, approaching storm. A professional motivator understands that motivation is predominately an extrinsic condition and he or she has the special skills to instil positive thoughts in the mind of your staff. Your employees are beings that respond primarily to some form of external stimuli usually from someone who is a recognised motivator. At a basic level most managers choose the ‘carrot or the stick’ method. This will not be sufficient in the high winds and rain that move ever closer. Your business is about to shake and shudder and a firm foundation is your best chance of survival. A professional motivator will help you make ready.

When a motivator injects the correct level of motivation into your business you will find it is the very glue that can help hold your business together, thereby weathering the prevailing storm.

A motivator is required to create a way of thinking that permeates the whole philosophy of your company on a day-to-day basis. Without positive thoughts your staff will wither and fade and your company will be the ultimate loser.

The very reason a professional motivator exists is because motivation is an extremely complex concept. It is a science that has been investigated and studied over the decades in many ways by many people. It could be the biggest mistake you ever make leaving motivation to an in-house amateur.

Until you source a quality motivator here are a few more tips:

You will motivate your staff if you help them work toward fulfilling their potential at a level they are capable of. This is where the difficulty often lies for many managers who consider themselves a motivator– if staff are not motivated enough they may fail to reach their true potential and your business will suffer.

Pushed too far beyond their natural capability and they become de-motivated and will often complain of being bullied by their so-called motivator.

Successful motivation is achieved when people perform well whilst still working within their limitations. This is achieved through a motivator when your staff are productive and appear to do be doing so with relative ease despite the hurricane winds that whirl around them on the outside.

An effective motivator understands that motivation is something that is an essential part of your people’s day-to-day lives. It provides the 'get up and go' that helps them get out of bed in the morning and look forward to their day at work despite the rain that threatens to dampen their day.

By investing in the skills of a motivator you will discover that people can be conditioned to enjoy work and look forward to helping you and your company survive recession. If you have members of your staff who already have a negative attitude, even before the storm hits, they need to be taught how to acquire a positive attitude. People often need the services of a motivator to help staff adopt and display a positive attitude. Every cloud has a silver lining; sometimes people need to know exactly where to look. This is the role of a motivator.

If you are to survive recession by weathering the storm your staff needs to be motivated to give them an unswerving faith that they can succeed above and beyond their own often-mundane expectations. Invest in a professional motivator; the consequences of not doing so are too dire to contemplate.

The taking of some intended action by a motivator initially precipitates motivation in others. Done correctly it will create a visible energy, which in turn drives staff forward out of the grasp of a hurricane that so often accompanies recession.

A motivator can help motivation become contagious, as other staff members ‘catch’ the appropriate, desired behaviour. Now is the time to seek out a motivator. Don’t, like some of your competitors will, catch a cold through complacency.

Take that action today. Seek out a motivator. The old mantra, ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ doesn’t work. Tomorrow never comes as it always refers to sometime in the future. The immediate future is bleak with wind and rain forecast.

Don’t worry it’s not all bad news. Here are some good reasons why you need a professional motivator:

Motivation is the most important factor in recession survival. A motivator specialises in inspiring and motivating others.

Whereas the type of personality your staff displays in the work environment may represent the way they behave, their level of motivation is directly related to why they behave in that particular way. Television, newspapers and radio are so full of doom and gloom if your staffs appear ‘down’ this is the likely reason they do so. Doing nothing will change nothing. A motivator can counteract any negative thoughts your people hold.

Motivation is a state of mind. A motivator is the creator of positive states of mind.

Staff who declare ‘This is just the way I am. I can’t change’ are mistaken. As stage hypnotists know, and continuously demonstrate, the subconscious mind can be manipulated. A professional motivator is skilled in manipulation.

Invest in the services of a professional motivator and you will install an internal energy force that determines all aspects of your staff’s behaviour at work and will impact on how they think, feel and interact with other members of staff and more importantly, your clients. The last thing you need during recessions is a discontented work force harming relationships that you have developed with your customers over many years.

Motivation is the force that makes us behave in a particular way. Inspiration is what a motivator provides to help an individual complete the necessary changes successfully. A motivator will often do this through the power of laughter.

A motivator will demonstrate that motivation is influenced by our personal perceptions of a situation and strengthened by many other factors that create the inspiration to do, or not to do something. Recession, credit crisis and the like are terms that develop negative perceptions. A motivator will help dispel negative perceptions by getting you people to look on the bright side of life. He or she will guide them towards that rainbow we all desire.

If you are in any form of successful business, the most expensive asset you possess is your human resources. Your current goal should be to survive the recession storm that is about to hit us, and therefore you need to invest in the motivation of your staff using a professional motivator. The forecast does not need to be so bleak if you are correctly prepared!

I wish you every success in weathering the storm.

Motivational Speakers are Essential During Recession

Hiring motivational speakers, especially during times of recession, is a great investment. Professional motivational speaker John Bell explains why:

It may be a cash flow problem that brings your company to the edge of the abyss but it will be an unmotivated work force that provides that final, painful push, launching your dreams into a black hole from which there is no return. Motivational speakers are the guardians that steer your people away from pending disaster and place them purposefully on the path to a powerful recovery.

Choose one of the top motivational speakers, someone who has a proven ability to motive and inspire, and he or she will guarantee your people will be motivated and inspired sufficiently to inject your company with a shot of enthusiasm carefully designed and measured to provide your desired outcome. The best motivational speakers can administer a motivating medication for an illness so severe that, were it to be left untreated, it could, and for many will, prove fatal.

There is a saying ‘laughter is the best medicine’ ~ that, of course, assumes you’re not a diabetic, in which case Insulin is likely to lie somewhere high on you list. (Humour is an essential ingredient in the service motivational speakers provide).

Think of motivational speakers as apothecaries who provide the Insulin, and your organisation, a living body that has desired needs and essential requirements.

Fail to meet those needs and the body will function to a degree for a time, but will eventually succumb to one or more of a long list of potentially fatal consequences.

Many companies don’t even appreciate they need the services of motivational speakers. They have become so used to working with a unmotivated work force they think the atmosphere in which they function is the norm ~ they survive in a state of unenthused apathy that they believe is an ethos most companies are also performing in.

Nothing is further from the truth. To continue my analogy with illness ~ in the USA there are believed to be 8 million diabetics who don’t know they have the condition. They do not even suspect they are ill. Their body has become so used to a ‘below par’ feeling they accept and assume how they feel is the norm. Diabetes is not normal and untreated it can be a killer!

Tragically, undiagnosed diabetics don’t appreciate how they may be heading towards some serious problems such as liver disease or cancer, stroke, heart attack, restricted circulation eventually requiring amputation, kidney failure, blindness and even death.

This is why health authorities worldwide are so concerned with a diabetes epidemic that threatens us all. They understand that by identifying diabetics and treating their condition they will not only dramatically improve the quality of life of the diabetics, they will also, in a relatively short period of time, save themselves lots of money. They are investing in the future ~ as you ought to be!

When recession finally sets in, unmotivated workforces will grow to epidemic proportions. Quality motivational speakers are few and far between. If you want to invest in the future of your company you would be wise to seek out the services of one of the top motivational speakers now. It could save you lots of money!

The best motivational speakers are extremely skilled in what they do. Engage one of the top motivational speakers and you can be reassured your people, having been treated, will be motivated and inspired to offer you your best chance in these difficult times of recession.

The very best motivational speakers don’t have ‘off days’. This is why the top motivational speakers will totally guarantee their work. Choose one of the best of the top motivational speakers; someone who is prepared to invoice you after you witness how well they have motivated and inspired your people.

The very best motivational speakers are confident and experienced enough to let you determine whether they are value for money. Be totally satisfied before you pay them their fee. You have little to lose and lots to gain.

Now is the time to inject a shot of motivation into your people. Don’t wait until it’s too late ~ seek out one of the best of the top motivational speakers available and invest in your future.

I wish you and your company every success in riding out the recession.
