There is an important distinction between motivation and inspiration. Motivation is when the speaker encourages the audience to do what they already know they should be doing. Sales training is a great example. By contract, inspiration is when the speaker encourages attendees to do what they never thought about doing, until just now. In other words, inspiration involves new ideas where motivation generally does not. Patrick can customize his keynote programs to fit the message you would like to convey.
