What Do We Mean by Engage, Inspire, and Stimulate?

You engage your audience by drawing them in, by being interesting, by never being boring. You inspire your audience to take action by reaching their emotions—to get them to see things and feel things. People never take actions for intellectual reasons, there is always an emotional benefit or fear that spurs them on. As a speaker you want to stimulate people to think and to be open enough to consider your ideas.
