Episode Synopsis

People are not born inspirational. Everyone has the ability to cultivate the skills necessary to inspire others. So whether you want to inspire your kids to change their behavior, inspire your friends to live out their dreams, or inspire your colleagues to take a risk, you have the power to do that once you know how.
Adam Galinksy is a psychologist, professor at Columbia Business School, and the author of a new book called Inspire. Dr. Galinsky's research on inspiration reveals that there are communication strategies and leadership traits that can be applied to parenting, friendships, and relationships. Some of the things we talk about are:

Why self-reflection is such a powerful tool for inspiration

The one thing you can do to amplify your influence today

How to increase understanding, reduce conflict, and enhance your effectiveness

The communication strategies that will help you inspire

The leader amplification effect and why it's important to understand

Why it's important to inspire others
