## Resource

What's the difference between trying to control someone and trying to positively influence them? Whether it's your family, your coworkers, or even clients, we all have moments when we want to help others make better decisions or change their behavior. But are you influencing them for their benefit, or for your own? Today, we dive into the distinction between influence, manipulation, and control, and we'll explore strategies for influencing in a way that creates real, lasting change. Join me on this episode as I share seven practical strategies for becoming more influential in your life and business. You'll learn what drives human behavior, why our motives matter so much when we're trying to influence others, and how to start influencing and creating stronger, more genuine connections with others.
