Motivational Moments with Maria

A CUP OF INFLUENCE

Maria Bradfield

Each week it is my intention to help you stay more focused, energetic, disciplined and inspired so YOU can create more love, fulfillment and joy in all areas of your life.   

I am inspired by YOU.  I am blessed to have some amazing thought leaders as coaches and as we all share information, I want to encourage you to pass on your wisdom to others.  We all need someone cheering us on and encouraging us to be better every day. This thing we call personal growth journey is a lifelong process.

So, let’s get on to today’s subject.  Have you ever tried to influence someone into buying something?  Or, how about having your kids clean their rooms.  Or perhaps you may be trying to have someone believe in your ideas and lead them.

It’s all about the amount of Influence you have on them.

Many people struggle with this topic.  Sometimes you cannot get through to your spouses, teenagers, co-workers, managers and even your clients.   Then you get frustrated and don’t know what to say.  

 Today I will share some insights that have been studied over the last 20 years as it relates to influence.  I am going to share 3 reasons we are not as influential as we want to be and then I will share a simple process you will remember to use every day.  

The first question we must ask is… 

Why aren’t more people influential? 

Join me for some insights.
