You have a great sense of humor, Graham for a man of the thin edge of dire straights. Your acting career and tour guide career should make you a natural for Motivational speaker, especially since you speak so many different languages. I have no idea how much they pay in Europe but here they run from usd $10,000 to $300,000 a pop.
I'm very touched by your kind words. Tell me: motivate people to do what?
What people want to be motivated to do is be innovative, to stand out from the crowd, to find inner zen. At least, that's the impression you'd get. But what I really think motivates people is egging them to make more of the neoliberal model that I want to remove myself from. 10,000 to 300,000 for a pop of motivational speaking is quite a lot. Who will they squeeze to be able to pay that?
I cannot view the world with different eyes to how I view myself. Yesterday, I had the uncomfortable experience of sharing a car ride with a virulent American Trump supporter. He lives here in Belgium. He's vehemently against immigration. How can the US government "import" 20,000 Haitians to Springfield, Michigan (I think it's in Ohio) and neglect ex-war veterans? We need to cancel the cancel culture and wokeism.
I didn't ask him if he'd immigrated to Belgium. I think I knew the answer without engaging his wrath further.
The only motivational speaker I heard was forced upon me by my employer who thought employees needed to be motivated to work harder (for no extra pay of course) It was lost on me, I already figured their game. The harder and faster you worked the more work they dumped on you. You're right about the trump loving bozo. I5t is Springfield in Ohio and they (the Springfield town counsel - not the Federal Government. They had a number of jobs they couldn't fill (at the wages they could afford to pay) so they legally brought in 10,000 Haitians to fill the jobs. They were hard workers, glad to get out of Haiti. Then some stupid lady's cat went missing and the bimbo posted on line she thought her neighbors had 'stolen' her cat. It went viral with the suggestion the neighbors who happened to be Haitian ate the cat. The cat turned up after two days and bimbo took two weeks to announce that the cat came home unscathed. JD Vance picked up the lie and embroidered it saying all the Haitians were eating peoples pets. He lat3er admitted it was a lie on a Sunday morning talk show but said he would continue making up stories, to make sure they won the election. Proving how truly dumb the average
American is - they'll believe any crap you tell them.
But businesses hire motivational speakers to "inspire" customers. employees or anyone they want inspired. I expect same European businesses do the same.

Trucker? Why not accent or public speaking coach instead?
