Inspiring Others

Some people are an inspiration and it seems so effortless.  These things come easy to them.  Try adding these to your relationships to improve the connections you make.  

• Read - the person who reads is always learning.  Share your learning with others. 
• Challenge others - the person that is always agreeable does not encourage others to be forward thinkers.  
• Communicate effectively - watch what you say and how you say it.  The message is sometimes lost in the presentation. 
• Tell stories - share from your own experiences.  It allows others to see change as possible if you tell them the steps you took to get there.  
• Be vulnerable - share your failures as readily as your successes.  This will allow others to see that they are not the only ones with challenges.  
• Encourage and care about others - People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.  Ask questions and take a genuine interest in others.
• Be a good example - people do what they see more than they listen to what they hear.
