Empower

I have a lot of personal rules and beliefs that guide my life. One that I highly value is to be able to say something that is both true and affirming about my colleagues - of which there are a lot. 
We live in a world that says that the way to get ahead is to tear other people down - but that isn't how I want to live my life. I equally do not want to be a person who sets people up for failure by creating false perceptions of them, even if my intention is to champion them. 
Hence the desire to say something that is both affirming and true. 
It wasn't until I was sitting at a dinner of a colleague who accomplished something amazing this week that I realized the heart that undergirds my desire is to empower. To empower people to be who they are made to be. And to celebrate that in them. 
Who has empowered you and how do you seek to empower others?
