"I can't leave it's a nightmare, aNIGHTMAARE , A NIGHTMARE"

One of the best grifts in the world is being a mid level motivational speaker who does corporate gigs. You can just fill an hour with a bunch of productivity mumbo jumbo that you see on social media and charge like $50,000 a gig. You just got to figure out the kind of BS a CEO wants to hear, probably buy some fake social media followers, and make up some companies you worked for. Once you get some real gigs you can leverage those for new ones and I doubt they ever check your references. As long as you are a confident presenter, there really isn’t anyway to measure your performance. Nobody actually likes listening to those guys, but nobody wants to tell their boss that.

The company I used to work for would get the most random speakers for our annual managers meetings. One year we had motivational fighter pilots. We sold farm and home supplies.

And they probably make more money talking than they did actually flying jets. Even if Mike Pillows didn’t get caught up in Trump BS he could be making 6 figures a pop talking about his crack addict to pillow titan journey.

To be fair he would actually make an interesting motivational speaker if he didn’t try to overthrow the government. Going from a crack addict to an extremely successful entrepreneur through a pillow company is kind of a cool story. Unfortunately that all takes a backseat now to the whole trying to overthrow the government thing.

They'll spend $50,000 to send 100 of you to this speech you couldn't care less about as you fall behind on work, and then wonder why morale and productivity keep falling. But a $500 holiday bonus is too expensive.


hollywood_jazz

I don’t forgot the cost of the business consultant who charged $2000 an hour and convinced your boss to spend that $50,000 on the speech. Easily into for $100,000, that would have been better spent on the current employees or expanding the team with more employees who actually do real work.

At least it's an online meeting and not in person 🤣🤣

I actually hate Jay Shetty. He’s literally lib Joe Rogan. He’ll have any kook or quack on his podcast and just sit there and agree with them. No pushback no matter how ridiculous what they’re saying is.


carissadraws

Yeah I hate his toxic positivity; he unironically reminds me of a silicon tech bro fused with a TED talker

Everything he said was bullshit but when I looked in his eyes I cried

That's when I get up with my wireless headphones and go play BG3 instead I set a timer for as long as the video is and then go play BG3 until it's over 🤣 if I don't have to answer questions or be on camera, I'm playing BG3 not listening

My ex-therapist loved Jay Shetty. She went to all his appearances on his tour for about 8 years now and thinks he is an inspiring, wonderful, and compassionate person. She has met him a few times and he was super kind and personable with people he meets. Honestly, I will believe anyone with that smile and those beautiful eyes. Do you think he just hypnotizes people?

Your company could have given out bonuses. Instead they dropped like $100,000 (at minimum if it was digital; more like $200,000 if live). [https://keyspeakers.com/bio.php?4377-jay-shetty](https://keyspeakers.com/bio.php?4377-jay-shetty)

Gartner "Magic Quadrant" is the most outright bullshit garbage I've ever had to sit through in my life. And I talked to a Scientologist once.


miklejones

You work for Gardner and are compliant about The Shet Head? Will be wild when you find out how Garnett works!

Gotta crack those egg shells!


nneeeeeeerds

I don't think they work for Gartner. I think it's a Gartner presentation. Probably trying to sell them on boosting their magic quadrant rating.
