Inspiring others is at the core of great leadership. Here is a simple but effective way to add to your effectiveness as an inspiring leader. Some years ago, we developed a coin, which was inspired by my friend Catherine Ryan Hyde, who wrote a wonderful book, later made into a movie, called “Pay it Forward“. With this idea in mind, we developed a coin, and on the one side we embossed the words, “Thank you for inspiring me and making the world a better place”. On the other side, are the words, “Pay it forward. Be inspired by this tribute until you feel inspired to pass it on”. The idea is to give the coin to someone who inspires you and then invite them to do the same when someone inspires them. This is a way of both inspiring, and paying it forward. Try it – you will inspire and be inspired. You can find the coins here.
