What Does it Take to Inspire Us?

Inspire

What does it take to inspire as a communicator?

Many believe it to be a mystical gift.

Bestowed on others.

Denied to themselves.

Not true.

What it takes is honesty.

Searing honesty.

About what you really think.

About how you truly feel.

About what you believe to be most critically important and meaningful.

Not merely to yourself - but to your audience.

Inspirational speaking is not a functional activity.

It’s a state of being.

One which transcends “technique”.

 I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective. I was amazed by how effective just one session was. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been. Without any exaggeration, I give all this credit to Simon.
