How to Quickly Motivate Your Team with Inspirational Quotes

Quotes are powerful words that can truly drive a person.

This is why famous sayings are often used to convey learning and push a person to think and act.

One of the many ways to take team engagement to the next level is to send them meaningful quotes on a regular basis.

These quotes are curated to be thought-provoking, motivational and inspirational.

Since it’s coming from you, their leader, your team will give importance to it and will surely get to know you more in terms of your beliefs, guiding principles and knowledge.

While this may seem simple, the effort and the time that you spent will surely be appreciated by your team. In fact, they will look forward to it on a regular basis.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Decide on timing

The typical timing is on Mondays. This is early in the morning and set to motivate the team to jump start their day.

Another good time to send this is on Wednesdays. It’s the middle of the week and employees typically need a little pick me in up to get through the week.

The other good time to send this is on Fridays. The theme on Fridays is typically light hearted and humorous.

Whatever the timing you decide. Make sure to stick to it. Consistency is key.

2. Choose a quote.

I suggest automating sending the quotes so you don’t have to think about it too much and focus on other tasks. You can schedule it to go out at a certain time and day which helps in being consistent .
