Since I found the “Inspire Someone” App Task quite challenging, I started looking for tangible examples of how to inspire and motivate others. I stumbled upon this article where Val Demings, former chief of the Orlando Police Department, gives some practical suggestions for putting “motivate and inspire” into one’s schedule. You will see that she mainly focuses on invoking emotional aspects.

It is also worth mentioning that the year before Demings became Chief, Orlando saw the highest rise in violent crime in its history. When she led the force from 2007 to 2011, they experienced a 40% reduction in violent crime – “a stat that is at least partly attributable to smart policing by motivated and inspired officers.”
