Wendy Welch inspired a young woman to keep pursuing her goals. She did this without really trying. Or even knowing that she was doing it.
She was just doing her job at Microsoft. Going to meetings, asking questions, offering her thoughts, the usual stuff. All she did was show up.
But she was observed by a young woman, a business student. When she saw Wendy, she saw what was possible for her. She was inspired enough to let Wendy know with a short note.
When she received that note, Wendy learned something that, deep down, she probably already knew. That she is an inspiration to people who want to follow her example.
That’s a powerful thing. When you inspire someone, you potentially change their life forever. Without even knowing it, you set them on a path to achieve greatness.
All you have to do is be yourself. Do your best. Serve as an example.
But it doesn’t stop there.
You can amplify your inspiration
If you can unintentionally inspire someone just by showing up, imagine what can happen when you’re intentional.
We all have stories to tell, lessons we’ve learned, and ideas to share. And we all have access to platforms where we can share those things with the world.
When we do that, we can inspire people on a much broader scale. Not just the few people who happen to see us at the office, but many thousands of people who need to hear our message at a given moment.
When you tell your stories on LinkedIn, in a podcast, in a newsletter, or any other online platform, you amplify your inspiration. And bring your brand of positivity into the world.
Don’t underestimate the power your stories, experiences and ideas have.
You might not even know what’s inspirational about your stories. If you need help figuring that out, my coaching services are designed to help you see what’s special about your story, and how you can share it with the world.
If you want to tell your stories but just don’t have thetime, I can be your ghostwriter.
