Examples of Keynote Speeches

What makes a keynote speech different from any other type of speech?

  • It’s motivational or inspiring
  • It’ s emotional
  • It’s pragmatic
  • It’s humorous
  • It’s  FULL of stories
  • It’s s energetic
  • It repeats a simple message or call to action
  • It’s customized for each particular audience

Here is an examples of keynote speeches that follow most  of the rules above.  In my opinion, it’s a bit short on stories. But it wasn’t written by the person that delivered it, so perhaps that why?

Here’s another keynote speaker that I find hits the target.

Finally, I can’t write a post and not include the guy that inspired me to become a keynote speaker.

I’m deaf and can;t understand the speeches due to the lousy captions…try clicking the CC button and watching without sound…
PLEASE FIX THIS! We also deserve equal access!

    I don’t have any control over the CC…that is created by the people that create the video. Sorry, I wish I could help.
