How to Increase your Influence in the Workplace

Influence takes intentional practice and honest, self-reflection! We all have influence, but how are you growing yours every day?  I spoke with Dan Newman-- a professional coach, life-long learner who explains that to be effective in organizations today, you must be able to influence people.

What we talked about:

• Theory of multiple intelligences

• Radical candor quadrant 

• Howard Gardner

• let go of your ego

• Christie's reading a book called Sapiens

• Have a quarterly check-in with yourself

• 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

• Nihlist Arby's

• Have a To-Don't list

• Stop checking your email so much! 

• Dan's podcast all about failure 

• Christie ditched facebook and insta 4 years ago and never looked back. "Living in the now, not 

  someone else's

   now"

• Your influence is watered down when you blast everyone too much. Make connections to what they need to do, think about it through their eyes.

• "Your pulse survey is your authority." Use it to show the leadership team data to reveal where improvement can happen."

• Impact sandwich:

   Pulse, analyze, tell everyone your intentions, do the intention, pulse again, tell everyone the results. 

• The Social Leadership Handbook 

• Dan works at 

   - they coach you to make the lives of everyone you touch more engaging, more equitable, and more fun.
