As a great motivator, he must have some strategies to be close and give motivation to his audiences. This research was aimed to figure out the strategies he used, focusing on the strategies for handling questions. The data was collected by observation method and documentation technique. The data was analyzed based on the politeness strategy of Brown and Levinson. From the analysis, I found that at least there were ten strategies used by Mario to share the motivation.
