The Art of Influence

The ability to effect real, substantive change is a rare capacity.

Influence cannot be won by force of will, by applying pressure or arguing until others agree with you. The Art of Influence is knowing how to engage and mobilize others and when to drive your own agenda forward. We will know when we’ve gained traction when others are leading the charge. That’s when true change can happen.

• Clarify your story and vision

• Open your mind and really listen to others

• Cultivate a compelling and shared purpose - Call others into your vision

• Understand the power of resistance and how to transform it

• Build a commitment to action - mobilize others to create change

• Make an impact and create meaningful change. 

Successful Influence is: When others are taking committed action on behalf of a shared vision.
