Inspiring and motivating are both about sharing ideas or desire to do something – it’s that simple!  It is then up to the individual to act.

Do you have to have an amazing ‘inspirational’ achievement to be inspiring?  Can you motivate anyone you choose to?  Who is it up to?

Both are complex, individual and hard to see let alone measure or assess!  There is a huge amount of research data, books, videos and articles professing ‘if you do this you will inspire and/or motivate’.  Much of this is interesting and thought-provoking although once you’ve read one book or watched the latest video on the subject you come across another way of thinking which can be as equally inspiring or motivating.

There are, however, a few threads that people generally agree on which we will cover.  For now, just think why being motivating and inspirational is important to you?

It is worth understanding the relationship that ‘inspiring and motivating’ has with for example:

• trust
• learning
• belief
• engagement
• pressure
• experimentation
• purpose
• commitment
