People want to be uplifted and inspired; they don’t want to be used!

Instead of trying to manipulate people, I challenge you to inspire those around you instead!

Here are some thoughts to help you motivate others to buy into your ideas:
 
1. Honesty is the best policy. You do NOT need to make-up situations and lie to #communicate persuasively. By being authentic and real with people, you’re putting yourself in a position to make a genuine connection with someone.

2. Stop the “blame game.” Blaming others is rarely seen as a desirable #leadership trait. Most people detest when they hear someone blaming someone else for their shortfalls. Instead, take responsibility for your actions.

3. Avoid passive-aggressive behavior. Unfortunately, many people in the world try to be sneaky about finding ways to get people to do what they want. Instead of #inspiring people through their stories, they try to find passive-aggressive ways to manipulate others. This type of behavior does not build trust, is not right, and does not inspire anyone to act. 

I challenge you to work hard to remove every manipulative tendency that you might have.

Instead of relying on manipulation, focus on inspiration!
