What does it take to become an inspirational leader – someone people can't resist following or ever forget? The answer starts with a deep dive into a passion – for your own life and the vision you have for the future of the organization. Inspirational leaders are convicted in their belief in abundance and possibility for what their team is taking on. Their optimism and capacity to appreciate and recognize the contributions of each team member inform their communication style. Their ravenous appetite to look for what's strong in each team member and help steward their journey to realize their own greatness makes them unforgettable. Becoming an inspirational leader is about communicating the worth and potential of each person on your team– telling them how they matter, that you appreciate them, and that you can see even more in their future. Becoming an inspirational leader entails a life fully examined and radiantly lived in the service of others.
