Influencing is not the same as convincing

Don’t listen to disempowering thoughts - we all have them btw. Here’s a common one - “I need to convince my team of my POV, or else I’m bad at influencing and leading.”

The reality is that influencing is NOT the same as convincing.

Make your job to:
• manage those inevitable negative thoughts and focus your energy on staying open to other perspectives
• release the grip of your ego and the attachment you have to your own POV
• make the best case for your solution, and actively work on co-creating a solution with your team.

As a leader, you will regularly come against your own black and white thinking. Notice and release your need to be right.

Keep your heart and mind open.
