Our increasingly complex and fast-paced world requires us to be effective at influencing others. Influencing is being able to get people to do what you want or need them to do in a way that lessens defensiveness and increases trust.
Every day you may find yourself needing to influence someone, whether at home, at work, or at school. It may be a spouse or partner, a child, a co-worker, or a classmate. Many interactions go smoothly, but what do you do when an interaction does not result in what you need or want? You may feel stuck or helpless. And if you get the same result time after time, you may feel frustrated, angry, or hopeless.
Influencing involves communicating with a special skill set. It involves having a goal and requesting the other person to do something specific. Influencing requires accountability and a willingness to be direct and honest and not beat around the bush or be vague.
