What if the missing piece in your leadership isn’t another system, but a spark? We dig into the second “wing” of butterfly leadership—how to inspire people from the inside so your team moves from motion to momentum and from pressure to passion. If you’ve ever said, “People aren’t consistent” or “It’s hard to find good help,” this conversation reframes the problem and gives you tools to build dedication that lasts.

We break down the real difference between motivation and inspiration. Motivation is external—deadlines, checklists, task lists—and it’s important. But without inspiration—the breath that awakens purpose already inside your people—pressure cracks instead of strengthens. You’ll learn how to speak to destiny more than duty, call out potential with specific, uplifting language, and explain not just what needs to happen but why it matters. We talk practical habits: learn names, make every interaction a highlight of someone’s week, celebrate progress as well as results, and invest in people by sharing opportunities and platforms.

We also tackle the balance leaders must keep: sit among your people without becoming over-familiar, model an aspirational life without drifting into excess, and lead beyond the pulpit by inspiring with your lips, your life, and your love. Charisma counts as connection, not performance—warmth, presence, and genuine care that draws commitment and fuels contribution. Finally, we share ways to stay inspired yourself: surround yourself with life-giving voices, remember past victories, and guard your language so it breathes hope.

If you’re ready to see people give their all, run through walls for the mission, and grow into the leaders God designed them to be, press play. Then subscribe, share this episode with a leader you value, and leave a review with one practice you’ll use to inspire this week.
