Influence is everything, but most of us don't give it enough thought
Influence is a learnable skill
Lack of influence is at the core of so many of our problems in marriage, parenting, and society
Influence requires you to be able to articulate and communicate what it is that you want or need, to inspire, enlighten others
Having influence allows you to communicate your needs in a way that is in harmony with others
Two major elements to influence
who you are- characteristics, way of being, attitude, personality
how you communicate- talking, body language, mannerisms, gestures
The greatest influence in the world is the influence we have in our families
Some of us have a moral obligation to influence in the world
If we are going to have an impact, it's because of the way we live and our overall way of being
You begin to lose influence if what your children see out in the world is more appealing than what they see at home
We can choose who we are and alter and improve our way of being
Influence is neither episodic nor automatic
If you lose respect, you lose influence
To have influence, you have to be striving to live your best life, being your best self
Influence is happening all the time and the quality and quantity is determined by what's going on around us and how we react to them
Influence is everything
