Listen "Wisdom for Work #30 - The Art of Influence: Building Trust & Connection at Work"
Episode Synopsis
Influence is a force that weaves its way through every layer of our organizations and lives. Yet its true essence, what gives it power and meaning, often lies beneath the surface, quietly shaping outcomes not through authority or force, but through trust, connection, and presence. In this episode, Ali Schultz sits down with fellow Coach Courtney Joyce for a deep and candid conversation about what it means to influence others, whether you’re early in your career, leading cross-functional teams, or navigating challenges as an executive. Together, they explore how true influence is more akin to building bridges than issuing commands; it's about leveraging credibility, reliability, and, perhaps most crucially, vulnerability. From understanding the unwritten rules of your organization to building genuine relationships and balancing assertiveness with warmth, this conversation traces the inner work required for authentic influence.
