Find an Inspirational quote that resonates with you!
Enjoy this note from one of my favorite Teambuilding Coaches, Michelle Cummings of Training Wheels:
I love quotes. I always seem to trip across the exact right quote at the exact right time. It's like the universe knows I need to hear that precise message that day. I think one reason why I love quotes so much because they are powerful little nuggets of advice wrapped up in 1-2 lines. When I was a counselor for troubled youth in my 20's I actually hot-glued a clear plastic window onto my backpack and would stick a different hand written 'quote of the day' in it every day. I know there were days that the kids didn't listen to anything I had said, but maybe, just maybe, they walked behind me on the trail and was inspired by the words of a famous leader scribbled on a notecard. I tried to be intentional with the message that might resonate with an individual or the group as a whole.
Today I use quotes weekly in my newsletters as a kick-off to whatever content I'm writing about. I love to find quotes that are witty or funny, yet have a good message at the same time. I probably like these the most as they fit with my personality, plus who doesn't need a good giggle in their day? The Zig Ziglar quote at the top of this newsletter is hands-down my favorite quote of all time. Witty, funny, yet packs a powerful message. In a word, Brilliant.
I also like to use quotes in my programs. Whether it be as an opener, a closer or verbally thrown in to emphasize a point, quotes just make me happy.
