Influence-Ethics
Personal Accountability is the True Friend of Freedom
The accountability that is set by someone else feels like coercion. But accountability to ourselves feels like the freedom we relish.
Be a mystery instead of an open book
I might have made a good first impression, but the second, and the third, and the fourth impressions got progressively worse the longer I talked.
Lead the WHAT and the WHO will follow
Buying in to the message leads to inspiration, enrollment, and engagement. Leaders walk their talk, or no one follows.
Extend your reach
To extend your reach is to stretch yourself beyond your usual space. Sometimes we reach beyond our comfort zone—out on the frontiers where we are likely to encounter situations we haven’t faced before.
Make encouragement your currency
It’s easy to say, “I’m sure things will work out.” But, I’ve noticed the most powerful form of encouragement is that which comes after listening to the needs and longings of someone.
Read the fine print
It might surprise you that the truth in advertising laws do not require the seller to tell the truth. So, protect yourself at all times.
Building character is a labor of self-love
Do you love yourself enough to identify the character traits and attributes you want to be known for when people say your name?
Dare Yourself
Dare we hold ourselves to the highest ethical and moral standards in governing, business, and personal conduct?
Stop talking and Be
We must continually hold ourselves responsible for being the example good we expect in others.

Practice confident humility to be more influential
We all want to be influential, which is the ability to make our ideas and words take hold and make a difference. But being pushy and overbearing is exactly the wrong way to go about it.
Influence is larger than life
Influence is an invisible force that shows up in the way we act. Often a successful person will say they were influenced by someone they admired.
