The fellow swept into the hotel lobby looking as though he had just bought the place. Immaculate designer suit. Gold watch the size of a wall clock. Shoes polished so brightly I could almost see my future in them. Behind him trailed two assistants carrying his laptop, projector and what looked suspiciously like his ego.

He was the keynote motivational speaker.

As he strode past, he barked at the waiter, snapped at the receptionist and glared at the poor bellboy who had dared to stand in his path. I smiled to myself. Apparently the motivation would only begin once he reached the stage.

Over the years I have met dozens of so-called motivational speakers and life coaches. In all shapes and sizes. Nowadays it seems to be one of the easiest professions to enter. Buy an expensive suit, or a coloured kurta, wear a turban, collect a few famous quotations, master a powerful speaking voice and before long someone is introducing you as a transformational leader.

The sad part is that while many can motivate a crowd for an hour, they cannot motivate themselves to live what they preach for even a day.

There are, of course, some outstanding speakers whose lives are examples worth following. Their private lives match their public words. Their humility shines brighter than their presentations. Those are the people I admire.

But many others mistake personality for character.

One gentleman I know, attends every business seminar held in the city. He sits in the front row taking pages of notes. Days later I hear he’s delivering the very same thoughts at another conference as though they had arrived by divine inspiration. I keep expecting one of the original speakers to stand up and ask for royalties.

Speaking well is a gift. Living well is a far greater one.

People are not looking merely for polished speeches. They are looking for authentic lives, which will change theirs. Your family, neighbours and colleagues know whether your words are genuine. They have seen you when there is no microphone, no applause and no audience.

That is the real stage.

The greatest motivation is never found in a seminar hall. It is found in watching someone quietly live with honesty, kindness, courage and integrity every single day. Such people inspire without trying to inspire.

Which is why I believe every life coach needs a Life Coach.

The greatest life coach is the One above.

His textbook has never gone out of print. His wisdom has never become outdated. His lessons have transformed ordinary fishermen, shepherds, kings, carpenters and millions of ordinary men and women through the centuries.

When God coaches your life, you stop collecting clever quotations and start living eternal truths. Your character begins speaking louder than your voice. Your actions become stronger than your presentations.

And strangely enough, without calling yourself a motivational speaker, you become His…!
