Values, Purpose & Communication (Inspirational Coaching continued)

Values

Inspiration comes from meaning. Meaning comes from values. Dov Seidman put it like this: “Values are at the root of Inspiration. Values are efficient…They are timeless…They are enduring…Values elevate us to act beyond what we can do, to embrace what we should do.”

Purpose

Discussing what separates the Best 100 Companies to Work for from all the rest , Geoff Colvin – editor of Fortune Magazine said this:  “How do "Best" companies do it? Partly it's skill at finding staff-friendly ideas that don't cost much...But those are tactics anyone can match. Winning requires something more: a sense of purpose. Employees get deep satisfaction, and become devoted to their employer, from a feeling that what they do is good and right."

Communication

In addition to demonstrating the above characteristics, an Inspirational Coach must be able to communicate these ideas clearly and simply.
