  When I want to inspire those less motivated or talented I show vulnerability. For example I will present my own design work to them, point out my flaws, problems with my design and ask them for feedback. I show them it can be positive. I keep working them like, repeating this until they get anxious and want to present their designs for feedback. Never underestimate the power of turning to a nearby designer and saying, "I need feedback, what do you think of this?"
