When you think of a motivational speaker, you probably think of businesspeople, retired politicians and celebrities from years gone by. Therefore, you may be surprised to learn that there is a master motivational speaker who does not fit the standard mold of motivational speakers, who has been inspiring and motivating people all over the world with interactive displays of human potential, for the past four decades.
He is the father of interactive TV shows (his interactive shows in the late 70s and early 80s preceded any such interactive TV shows), he is controversially synonymous with the bending of cutlery, giving new life to broken watches, reading minds and making compass needles move of their own accord. We are of course talking about the world's most recognized mentalist/mystic, Uri Geller.
Uri Geller is in fact one of the world's most experienced and esteemed motivational speakers, voted "Most Inspirational and Motivational Speaker" by the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), ahead of the competition, which included such well known and respected speakers as President Gerald Ford, Dr. Henry Kissinger, and General Alexander Haig. He has delivered motivational lectures throughout the world to a wide range of audiences, including some of the world's most successful companies: Google, IBM, Novartis, Sony, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Hallmark, T-Mobile, and Rolls-Royce, to name but a few. He has lectured to the United Nations, to US Senators, and to national security executives at Washington, DC. His rare motivational abilities were requested by US Senator Claiborne Pell, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who had Geller attend the nuclear arms reduction talks in Geneva along with future Vice-President Al Gore and Anthony Lake (national security adviser and later the head of the CIA,) to help ensure that the Soviets signed the treaty - which they did.
Uri Geller has delivered his motivational lectures to the Oxford and Cambridge Unions, Yale, Berkeley and Stanford Universities, the Royal Geographical Society, Institute of Incorporated Engineers, Mensa, the Prime Minister's Conference and The World Economic Forum, which included dignitaries such as President Bill Clinton, Vice-President Dick Cheney, and Steve Forbes.
So how - or why - is Uri Geller able to have such a notable impact on audiences?
The first clue as to how Geller has managed to win over such esteemed audiences across the globe can be summed up with one word: "Interactivity."
While many motivational speakers stand on the stage and simply deliver a lecture, Geller delivers interactive performances which involve and engage the audience. Audiences at an Uri Geller motivational lecture are involved and immersed throughout the duration of the lecture.
The second clue would be the word "Infotainment."
Being a showman and entertainer as well as an accomplished motivational speaker, Geller understands that in order to captivate and motivate an audience, they must be kept entertained. His lectures are laced with entertainment, including demonstrations of the abilities for which he is best known, which allow him to maintain the attention of delegates throughout, in order to deliver the fundamental motivational and inspirational elements of the talk.
But does Geller really have special abilities, or is he a magician?
The real answer to this question is that it really doesn't matter either way. Whether you believe Geller to possess supernormal abilities, or to be a skilled sleight-of-hand illusionist, the fact remains that he is an incredible motivational speaker, who leaves audiences mesmerized, captivated, inspired and motivated.
Those who care may be interested in previously classified video footage of CIA testing on Geller, carried out by prominent US scientists under strict laboratory-controlled conditions; and the results and comments by those involved, including Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut and 6th man to walk on the moon.
