Ten
Ways to Inspire Others

We all know people who are inspiring. But just how does one
inspire others? Here are ten simple ways you can inspire
people to be their best:
1. Be a good example. People watch what you do more than
they listen to what you say. Be someone worth emulating.
2. Care about others. People don't care about how much you
know until they know how much you care. Ask questions.
Take
a genuine interest in people.
3. Encouragement. Everyone goes through tough times.
When
you support people and encourage them through these times,
you'll be inspiring them to see the best in themselves and
in the situation.
4. Be inspired yourself. Look for people, ideas,
environments and knowledge that you find inspiring and
motivating.
5. Share from your own experience. You have more to share
than you realize. Mine the rich experiences of your life and
share your wisdom from your unique point of view. You may be
the only one who can touch someone with your inspiring
message.
6.
Be
vulnerable. Be willing to share your failures as well as your
successes. Others will relate to you. They'll understand that
they're not the only ones with challenges.
7. Tell stories. Facts tell and stories sell.
They inspire,
too. We learn best from parables and we all need to develop
our own inspiring stories.

8. Be a good communicator. Increasing your ability to
communicate effectively is a critical element for you to
inspire others. Watch how you speak and what you say. Invest
in your communication skills.
9. Challenge people. Many of us have had teachers who at times
seemed more like tormentors than mentors. They challenged us
to do our best, and we were better for it. Practice "carefrontation"--the
careful and caring confrontation of others.
10. Read. It may not follow that all readers are leaders, but
certainly all leaders are readers. Stay informed. Share what
you read with others. Tell people about books that have
inspired you. Share the knowledge.
