Motivating or inspiring others is a hard tasks, you should keep in mind that the people who you'll need to convince are usually stranded, pessimistic or have already failed numerous times in trying to solve their problems so the best way to have positive results in speaking with them is starting with a subject which you can relate with the people you need to Inspire.

In order for you to inspire others, you need to be creative; you need to be full of life. How can you expect to motivate and inspire others when you just stand in front of everyone, just plainly speaking, with no expression of any emotion. This would just bore the audience. You should remember that each individual has a limited attention span, and you should find ways to increase their attention span about what you're talking about. You can utilize having activities like games, asking questions and other ways that can let the audience participate. Get them more involved to pump and participate more. Be passionate!

Also, this would also enliven the speech making it easier for others to listen to you rather than listening to a boring monotonous speech.

As what I've said, the process of motivating and uplifting others is no easy tasks. There won't be shortage of trials, so you need to be strong. There might be times that you feel that you are not effective but don't let this get you, be persistent, and always have a positive disposition. Remember, doubt easily shows and can quickly destroy the trust that your listeners put in you.
