Whether you are a parent, a spouse, a sales person, a colleague, a leader, a subordinate, you name it, you are constantly seeking to have influence over others. What I have found in the corporate environment as well as with my personal relationships, when I follow the following acronym I am much more influential.
Today, follow some of the below statements and see how it works for you. See if you get a different outcome than you would have previously by following a different method.
Also, as always I appreciate your feedback on any post I have.
I nitiate meaningful conversations through asking questions
N ever be critical of yourself or another person
F ind common ground and points of agreement
L isten more than you talk
U nderstand the other persons point of view
E ncourage people through appreciation and recognition
N urture relationships through trust and respect
C onnect by remembering and using a persons name
E arnestly believe that the other person seeks the same results you do.
To your success and your future.
INFLUENCE all you? Nice.
