Depending on the age and maturity of your audience, you should tailor-make your message so that they can be relatable and inspiring to your target listeners. One of the most important things you should remember when formulating a speech for a motivational assembly is that motivational speeches should inspire your listeners to make a change and this is only possible if you know how to engage your audience through topics and issues that are relevant to them. Speaking to a young crowd can be an added challenge, especially today when you have to compete with so many distractions in their immediate environment. Here are ways to ensure that you will create good impact on your middle-school audiences:

  • Establish a clear purpose. Trying to motivate people to change is hard enough, more so when you are talking to children in their stubborn age. One way to make sure that you can get your message across is to establish your speech's purpose and make your intended behavior change clear—first to you as you plan your speech and delivery and next to your audience as you commence with your talk. The amount and level of explanation that you may require could vary depending on the general issue you wish to address, but you can always use your creativity to make sure that you are on-track and are making the strongest possible impact on your listeners.
  • Tell your personal story. Human beings are fond of telling and listening to stories. This is especially true in assembly and speech settings. By including real stories and experiences in your speech, you create a strong testimony to the message you wish to convey and relate to your listeners. By hearing stories of accomplishment and victory over adversaries, listeners feel inspired and empowered to overcome their challenges and make a change in their lives to realize the same kind of success as you did. Telling your personal story also increases your connection with your audience, which makes your speech more effective in creating an impact on the listeners' lives.
  • Mind your audience. The best motivational speeches are those that are tailored to fit the needs of the audiences. Different assemblies and age groups respond variably to different speaking approaches. When you tailor your speech to the needs and interests of middle scholars, you have a greater chance of affecting change and inspiring children to succeed in life.
