Most people do not need a speech to feel inspired.
They need someone to believe in them a little more than they currently believe in themselves.
A teacher who is not sure they are ready to lead a project. A colleague who thinks their idea is too small to share. A student who has decided they are not a maths person. Each of them is waiting for someone to lend them some confidence.
Leaders do this all the time without noticing. A quiet “I think you would be great at this” can change the direction of a career.
The belief is borrowed at first. With enough success, it becomes their own.
