Ever tried to hype someone up and it just... fell flat? 😅 Yeah, me too. Here’s what I’ve learned about actually motivating people (without sounding like a cheesy poster): • I always use their name and get specific—no generic “You got this!” Instead, it’s “Katie, shake off that missed shot and OWN that defense!” • I stick to “I” statements. Like, “I love watching you give it your all,” instead of “You could be better if…” • Positivity > negativity. Criticism just kills the vibe. I focus on what’s going right! • I celebrate the process, not just the win. The climb matters more than the summit! • When things seem overwhelming, I break it down into bite-sized goals. Makes everything feel doable. • I give real, specific praise—no empty flattery. And I encourage them to celebrate their own wins, too! 🎉 • Most importantly, I tailor my approach. Everyone’s different, so I listen and adapt. Motivation isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about seeing the person, not just the problem. ❤️ #MotivationTips #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #Education
