Steve Irwin's Personality and
Communication Style
It's been broadcasted all over the world. It was
said to have be one of the most universally
known sad events that doesn't involve an act of
terrorism.
Steve Irwin's death.
Otherwise known as the crocodile hunter, he
became the figure of reptiles and especially
Australia. He wrestled vicious animals like they
were harmless creatures. He'd pick up many
dangerous animals and treat them like little
babies!
Why do you think Steve had so many people who
not only knew about him, but loved him?
Being Australian, I know he's done a great deal
for this country. But it was his charismatic
personality and communication style that made
him so widely loved by many people drawing their
attention and attracting a lot of media
attention.
It wasn't his job of wrestling crocs that made
people like him. There are a tonne of other
animal wrestlers out there that put their bodies
on the line that people don't know of and even
hate.
It was his personality and the way he
communicated himself that made him so widely
loved.
This begs me to ask you, what following do you
have? Do you have people that love you because
of what you do or who you are? Are they
attracted to you and are proud to know you? Are
they a better person because they know you?
This is what developing your communication and
self is also about. You are developing the many
areas within yourself for not only your own
good, but for the good of others.
When you improve yourself and especially improve
your communication, you begin to attract people
and more favorable emotions out of people you
already know. These emotions people experience
go beyond feeling more attracted to you
(attraction includes every person and thing that
is drawn towards you), they inspire the person.
The person feels better about him/herself. They
desire to follow in your foot steps and learn
the skills you have learnt and this of course
leads to amazing paths. These people reach new
personal development ground otherwise
untouchable if not for your influence.
Look at the wide outreach and influence Steve
had on people. A lot of people became happier,
they become less fearful of "dangerous" animals,
and I'm sure quite a few would have tried to
replicate Steve's life-filled personality.
The opposite is also true. If you are unhappy,
frequently fight with people, and in general
have poor communication skills, then you'll
encourage bad behavior in others. They will
begin to follow your bad communication skills
such as conflict, poor listening, and other
communication areas will suffer leading to poor
relationships and unhappiness.
That's what I want you to realize today.
Improving yourself goes beyond the self-centered
benefits. By effectively communicating you
inspire others to grow themselves. They see the
positive effects it has on your life and desire
to follow in your footsteps.
Thanks Steve for being such an inspiration!
