A motivational speaker or inspirational speaker is a speaker who makes speeches intended to motivate or inspire an audience. Such speakers may attempt to challenge or transform their audiences.[1] The speech itself is popularly known as a pep talk.[2]

Motivational Speakers can deliver speeches at schools, mosques, churches, motivational companies, corporations, government agencies, conferences, trade shows, summits, community organizations and similar environments.[3]
