Influencing:

• your team to work together better
• a difficult colleague, client, friend, family member, partner to talk about your differences without getting angry, sulky, and upset
• your own emotions - turning anger, stress, anxiety, etc. to resourefulness, calm, confidence etc
• others to accept your ideas, policies and suggestions 
• others to act on your instructions or give your their vote

Welcome to the Natural Influence Blog

Here is where you’ll find tips on how to get what you want in your personal, career and business life through discovering and using influencing skills.

I’ll post some tools, tips and strategies for absolute beginners as well as advanced secrets for the experieced influencer.

What is Influence?

Influence is the ability to have an affect on people (yourself and others) to achieve results and outcomes. An ability to change what will happen in the direction that you want.

Why are influencing skills important?

Someone once said that you don’t get what you deserve in life, you get what you negotiate. Your power to influence, persuade, negotiate affects your level of happiness, health and wealth.

The influencing skills I want to share with you are really important because they are the kind that create a win for you and a win for the people around you. This is different from manipulation and selfishness.

Manipulation is when you use tactics such anger, placating, intimidation, sulking, distracting and lying to get what you want at the expense of someone else. You may ‘win a battle’ with these tactics but you won’t win the ‘war’.

When you use ethical, win-win influence you have the chance to create the best kind of personal and work relationships and the best kind of results.

Who Needs Influencing Skills?

Everyone who wants to influence their own feelings and mindset or who wants to the feelings or mindset of others or who needs to get things done through others!

Business Owners, Managers, CEOs, Team Leaders, Sales people, Marketers, Charity Workers, Teachers, Professionals, Creative People, Ideas People, MP.s, Entertainers, Parents, Friends, Partners, Family members, Mediators, Lawyers, Teenagers…

What Makes You Qualified to Talk About Influencing Skills?
