I am excited as tomorrow I am meeting another podcaster - Heather Gorringe from Wiggly Wigglers. Why I am excited is that Heather is one of those people that exudes energy, enthusiasm and that good old 3 letter word often lost in business...FUN.
Read those words again..."I am excited"- that means that somehow without ever meeting her before she has engaged me, she has inspired me. How has she done that? Well, when I think about it there are 3 main ways
- Her voice smiles! Her voice is uplifitng, and she revels in showing her enjoyment in her subject.
- She gives a little of herself to her listeners, she opens herself up to allow others in, thereby creating a human and emotional connection.
- She speaks about the future, about what she wants to achieve...not what is stopping her. She believes that she can live her dream, create a brighter future...and the belief is contagious.
There is an important lesson here for any budding leaders. People who show these characteristics attract people, attract talent, inspire them to want to work with them. A positive outlook, a can-do approach, the ability to paint a picture of the future that excites you, all of these stand out as a truly inspirational personal brand.
I now have my fingers crossed that she is not in a bad mood, otherwise the whole blog post is smashed to pieces!!!!
