Yossi Ghinsberg, an Inspirational Speaker The most commonly used term in the industry to describe Yossi Ghinsberg is “Motivational Speaker”, but a better way to describe him is as an “Inspirational Speaker”. There is an important difference. Motivational speakers teach a methodology or guidelines for success and peak performance, and they see themselves as experts in their respective fields. An Inspirational Speaker sets a personal example that touches peoples’ hearts; they are more of a role model than an expert.
Here are some further thoughts on the difference between Motivational Speakers and Inspirational Speakers: • When someone is teaching a methodology, the content challenges the mind of the listener. Most listener’s minds are busy - they have short attention spans, they’ve “heard it all before”, and they are judgmental. It is very difficult to fully engage the listener this way. • Furthermore, to be effective, the listener needs to understand this new methodology, internalize it and practice it. This process is very unlikely to happen in a short session; in fact according to research, passive listening is the poorest method for conveying information, yielding only 7% average retention. • Inspiration is proven to be a more effective learning experience, since it moves audiences beyond the realms of the mind and touches their emotions. This is achieved not by teaching but rather by reaching out to audiences with a genuine and authentic personal experience. • Inspiration can happen only when the audience member trusts the speaker to allow her or him to take them on a journey, leaving the judgmental mind behind and opening the heart for an experience. • When the heart is open, a child-like experience is facilitated. The open heart is trusting and naïve, and the judgmental, heard-it-all-before-mind is at rest. • Everything is possible for a child - the heart when touched spurs the spirit to dream again and overcome the adult’s fears and experience-based limitations. • When experiencing inspiration, audiences are drawn in, emotionally engaged, touched and moved – which increases the listener’s retention to over 50%. Yossi is one of the best Inspirational Speakers in the professional circuit. He is guaranteed to inspire audiences with his original life experiences. Yossi’s art is his natural gift of storytelling. Yossi uses no slides or videos to enhance his presentation, but rather he paints with words and the audiences conjure up images from their own imaginations. Yossi’s stories are genuine and authentic - and audiences know it. The teaching benefits of Yossi’s sessions are far reaching and exceed those of traditional motivational speakers. Yossi speaks from the depth of his heart directly to the hearts of his audiences - such heart to heart communication is rare and unforgettable.

A good pair of sandals is what we need... As we walk upon the roads of life, one may try to avoid sharp thorns and stones by maintaining vigilance and cautiousness. Another may attempt to carpet the entire world so the surface is smooth and soft. The simple man will make use of a good pair of sandals. This parable is old but the message is clear: adversity is part of life, being a victim a matter of choice. It’s not about what happens TO you but rather what happens FOR you. Your are free to choose, perceive and act accordingly. Generally, most of us believe the source of any problem is found outside of oneself. This attitude inevitably results in grief. If the source of a problem is perceived as external then one immediately employs blame which generates hostility, aggression, fear, envy and other such emotions. |
Jaguars Don’t Need Self-help Books The only specie that separates and alienates itself from nature is our own. Isolated in that seclusion we either try to dominate nature or protect ourselves from it.
Yossi asks his audience to expand their horizon and see ’the big picture’. Our life has become ’life in a box’ and we've forgotten that it is our birth right to be and feel part of our planet and the entire universe we live in.
