#Influence June 22

I am doing a 30 Day Challenge for the month of June which involves watching a TED Talk everyday. Last week I discovered Jon Levy. He is an author, behavioral scientist, and creator of a secret dining experience called “The INFLUENCERS”.

His secret dining experience is a pretty cool idea.

Dr. Jon Levy

Jon talks about how our society has seen a shift from people with power to people with INFLUENCE. I love his simple definition of what INFLUENCE actually is. His quote is below:

“INFLUENCE is the ability to impact another person or outcome”

He further goes on to say that two things have to be in play to INFLUENCE others. First is who are you connected to and how much do they trust you.

I have written about trust before. In fact I did a post on trust back on November 25, 2019

The journey to developing trust begins individually. Keep the promises you make to yourself. When you do that you are on your way to earning the trust of others and of making stronger connections.

Connections and being someone who can be trusted will make you a person of INFLUENCE.
