Inspire! showcases 100 of the most brilliant speeches ever delivered from the worlds of film and theatre. From the plays of Shakespeare to contemporary cinema hits, people over the years have been inspired and moved by superb actors delivering powerful lines. Yet only a select few can be called truly essential to the betterment of the human spirit and condition, and these are the speeches which form this book. Some speeches have stood the test of time. Others are classics and are known by everyone. Why do we quote from them for pleasure and politics? Why have some been used for propaganda? Why do they make us cry and laugh? Are there insights that can benefit anyone who needs to deliver a rousing, powerful speech or presentation? Simon Maier selects the 100 from stage and screen and offers insights and analyses as to why they have inspired so many.
About the Author
Simon Maier has been involved in delivering events for 23 years throughout the world and for every imaginable purpose. In the mid-1980s he led much of the event activity in the UK for the privatization of several blue chip companies, and has ever since been responsible for a wide variety of corporate and public events.
As its managing director, Simon led Saatchi-owned ICM to record turnover and profit levels and then did much the same for a number of other leading event and experiential businesses, including his own.
He is frequently invited to comment on what makes a great speech and a speaker great, in the course of which he explains how people can have the first and become the second. Simon is also in demand as a conference facilitator, in which role many CEOs regard him as an event playmaker or quarterback. Despite that, he can’t play American football.
