Dr Zoe Chance on Influence

How can we become more influential?

That’s a question that fascinates my guest on this episode, Dr Zoe Chance. She teaches a course on it at Yale and has just published a new book called Influence Is Your Superpower: The Science of Winning Hearts, Sparking Change, and Making Good Things Happen.

In our discussion, we explore the simple ways in which we can all be more influential and how that can help us to fulfil our potential.
