• Inspire: Idea #8

    How can you inspire other people? Why should we care about inspiring others? As a people leader OR influencer, we want to inspire others to listen, learn, and change for the better. If we care about others, we also want to help them grow and develop as individuals. The model given by S.M.R. Covey on “how to inspire” includes: model what you want to share – go first, then show trust to others by connecting with them and caring for them, and finally connect with purpose – as purpose brings out the best in others. All of this is how you can inspire others.

  • Repetition: Idea #7

    ‘Building habits in the present helps you to do more of what you want in the future’. (J.Clear) In today’s culture we have so many things available “instantly” that we start expecting instant results whenever we try to implement an improvement plan. Development, and new habits, don’t happen overnight, or in a week. Changing ourselves takes time, commitment, and persistence. The new habit you’re working on needs to be relentlessly repeated day after day, even when it’s hard, even when you don’t see immediate results. However, when you look back after six months or a year – you WILL BE AMAZED at how much you’ve grown.

  • Understand: Idea #6

    ‘Seek first to understand, then to be understood’. (S.R.Covey) How often do we not understand why people do what they do, or act how they act? Why do we get frustrated when others don’t seem to understand our thinking? Perhaps it’s because we haven’t taken time to really listen to them, to hear and understand their thinking, before we label them as difficult or challenging. So today, think about the most challenging person you need to work with, and take time to deeply listen to what they have to say – BEFORE you start talking about what you need.
