Regardless of your religious beliefs, social economic position, field of business, political views or your personal whereabouts last week, you heard about Pope Francis’s historical visit to America. Also regardless of all the above, you have to admit he crushed it. He knocked it out of the park. He rocked.
Why?
Because he connected with the masses. Not just the high brows. Not just the politically correct, the famous, the leaders. He genuinely cares about all people everywhere and it showed. His humility is so endearing yet so powerful, he 
influenced millions of non-Catholics in a very short time (are you listening Donald Trump?) His message was about inclusion, unity and compassion. Simple. Effective.
Why should you care?
When you express genuine concern about your team members, co-workers, customers and people in general, you can impact their lives in ways you never dreamed of. A few words of praise or appreciation can instill confidence, attract customers, boost teamwork and improve performance in the workplace and can seriously be life-changing for someone needing support and encouragement during tough times.
As a motivational speaker I constantly hear about people joining companies but leaving bosses because they don’t feel valued. Smart business is about connecting with people and building great relationships. The Pope totally gets that. Do you?
Reach out and touch someone. You never know where it could lead.
Hark, can you hear the angels sing? No, wait. It’s the sweet sound of success.
