Be Authentic

People instinctually appreciate people whose public persona matches their private values.

When someone professes to be one way but lives contrary to that profession, it signals that they are confused or untrustworthy and thereby, inauthentic.

Listen

Listening meets a person’s primary need for validation and acceptance.

To positively influence others, you must listen to what is spoken and what is left unsaid, because by doing this you'll learn more about a person’s character, desires, and needs.

Learn to Tell Stories

Personal narratives, testimonials and impact stories are incredibly powerful. 

Your stories should be related to the issue or concept you are discussing. They should be an analogy or metaphor that explains your topic in ordinary terms and in vivid detail.

Kind Rather Than Right

For people who lack confidence, or people who prioritize the opinions of others, being right is important. But in the quest to be “right,” we can hurt other people.

The antidote to that is to prioritize kindness above rightness. And you can be kind and still stand firm in your position.

Understand the Needs of Others

The best way to influence others is to appeal to their logical, emotional and cooperative needs:

  • Their logical need is their rational and educational need. 
  • Their emotional need is the information that touches them in a deeply personal manner. 
  • The cooperative need is understanding the level of cooperation various individuals need and then appropriately offering it.

Operate from your place of expertise. Leave everything else to others.

You cannot positively influence others if you are more preoccupied with what others do well versus what you do well.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
