Listen "Ep 247 Can Introverts Influence?"
Episode Synopsis
This week I explore an intriguing question posed by a client of mine: Can introverts truly influence others? In this episode I dive into the nuanced distinctions between being an influencer and being influential, especially from the perspective of we introverts. The perception by introverts themselves and others, is that we introverts lack influence due to our quiet, think-say-think processing nature. Our preference for meaningful content is often overlooked because of the hyper-active, always on, and highly visible extravert influencers. You see, influencing is a responsibility, ethical influence at least - which seeks mutual benefits as opposed to self-serving manipulative ends. There is a difference between honest intentions and manipulation and I explore that through the lens of Jeanie Laborde's book - Influencing with Integrity. *** Key Points *** Introverts have inherent influencing strengths Understanding Ethical vs manipulative influence Strategic thinking for intentional communication *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
