Listening and Communication-Second Post

I believe that everyone has the ability to inspire and motivate people, but you just have to have the will to do it and the drive to get better at it. No one's perfect, so we can't be amazing at inspiring and motivating people, but we can also work hard to be the best we can be. Maxwell said, "Sensitivity toward the hopes and dreams of people on your team is essential for connecting with them and motivating them." So in other words, one way we can motivate each other is by showing that you actually care about their issues, and by doing this they can see that you're trying to help and it will form a connection between you and your teammate. I try to express my visions to my team in a way that they can relate; that way they know what I'm talking about and as I help them, they can help me to achieve our goals. Whenever I'm having a conversation with someone, I'm really trying to work on keeping eye contact with them and showing that I'm truly listening and that I care about their problem/idea. That way, we can connect with each other on the same level which will help us as a team in our sport. As Maxwell said, "If you want to be more effective connecting with people, make it your goal to understand them."
