So, when asked this question about ‘who are the people who have inspired you?’, I decided not to list those people (or name drop) but to describe the characteristics of those who inspire me and who I aspire to be.
- Successful without sacrificing integrity
- Place people before profit
- Generous with their time
- Build relationships & connections (established & new)
- Listen to understand, not to respond.
- It’s not always about what you can do for them.
- Genuine & Authentic. How they act in public is who they are.
This is such a nice reflection. It has me wondering what characteristics would make up my list and how I myself might stack up against all of this.
