How to Increase Your Influence

Do you realize how much time you spend trying to influence people? Trust me, it’s a lot! Whether you need your colleagues’ buy-in on your brilliant idea or want your kids to eat more vegetables and do their homework, you’re spending a great deal of your time trying to influence others. Are you using the right strategies? You might be surprised by what the research has to say.

Today's episode is all about how you can be more successful in your attempts to influence the people in your life. Using Dr. Terry Bacon's book, "Elements of Influence" as a guide, we’ll explore the key factors we must consider to be more influential. Bacon studied influence for decades and there is rich practical wisdom in his findings, which you can put to use immediately.

I’m excited to share the principles I learned when I was part of a team designing and facilitating an influence course at a Fortune 100 company, and it was one of our most popular courses. I taught it countless times and found the engagement and gratitude of the participants exhilarating!

In this short summary of the core principles and studies on influence, I share the methods that don’t work, the two most powerful approaches to influence, the five most impactful influence power sources, and how the three top influence strategies can be employed together for the greatest likelihood of success.

Tune in and listen to Episode 4 of to learn the tools for being more influential as a leader, mentor, parent, community organizer, or whatever roles that are most important to you on your unique and meaningful path in life!
