In this episode, which is the 40th of David Roberts CALM leadership series he continues to discuss the concept of influence—looking at how you can use your purpose and that of your business and colleagues to influence others. 

To help you to do this he provides you with 5 influence questions you can use with potential partners, customers and team members. Using them will help you fully investigate and find the solution that will work best.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • You have to be very clear on what your mission is and demonstrate that you genuinely believe in what you are doing. This is particularly important when looking for a business partner.
  • Self-awareness, clarity, and credibility are key to influencing others.
  • Storytelling and planning are essential for effective leadership.
  • Clear communication and emotional connection are crucial for building trust and credibility.
  • Provide practical advice and examples people can relate to. Doing this greatly increases the chances of success.
  • Put yourself in the other person´s shoes and consider their objections and how you can reassure them and overcome those objections.
  • This advice applies just as much in your personal life as it does in business..

BEST MOMENTS

‘You are always influencing others,’

‘What’s the difference you want to make in the world, how clear are you on that?’

‘Influence comes down to trust.’

‘Being really clear on your story and willing to share it is a key part of being influential.’

 

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
