Last week\u2019s Thought for the Week was about “Hearing What Isn’t Said<\/em>“. This was about how our interactions can be deeply enriched by hearing what is NOT being said and I invited you notice this over the week.<\/p>\n [See my previous blogs below]<\/p>\n Do you ever wish you could have more impact and influence in meetings with clients, colleagues, prospects etc?<\/p>\n How do we know<\/em> how much impact \/ influence we have had?<\/p>\n We will know if a new client signs up, or we get a new contract, project or whatever. But what about other times when we have no way of knowing because it\u2019s quite intangible isn\u2019t it!<\/p>\n How would you define, discover, understand or leverage it?<\/p>\n I can assure you that you have more impact than you realise. We all do.<\/p>\n \u201cSociologists tell us the most introverted of people will\u00a0<\/strong>influence 10,000 others in an average lifetime.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n -Tim Elmore-<\/span><\/p>\n [Founder and CEO of Growing Leaders]<\/p>\n Imagine how many people you have knowingly and unknowingly influenced in your life so far. Every person you come in contact with is impacted in some way.<\/p>\n For example, if you hold the door open for someone, that has an impact.<\/p>\n Whether or not they say \u201cthank you\u201d impacts you.<\/p>\n You may feel satisfaction if they acknowledge you and disgruntlement if they don\u2019t!<\/p>\n If you compliment a co-worker on their performance, you have had an impact on that person.<\/p>\n If you criticise another person, you have also impacted them.<\/p>\n As you can see, impact can go in two different directions: negative or positive.<\/p>\n What is Impact?<\/strong><\/p>\n To have a strong effect on someone or something. Synonyms: affect, influence, have an effect on, make an impression on, hit, touch, change, alter, modify, transform, shape.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We typically go about our daily routines without considering our impact. We don\u2019t consider whether we are making a positive difference or a negative impression.<\/p>\n How aware do you think most of us are on how we affect others in our daily lives? And the ripple effect of that, positive or negative?<\/p>\n When we realise that we have more impact than we think, we also have a choice: Will we have a positive impact or a negative impact?<\/p>\n Each of us has a great deal of power over our environment and our influence in this World and we don\u2019t need to be famous or wealthy or write a book to be influential. We have family, friends, co-workers, peers, clients and random people we come into contact with all the time.<\/p>\n We also have freedom of choice.<\/p>\n We can choose what our impact is on others. We can choose our legacy on this Earth.<\/p>\n I learned in life that we get what we give and our impact equals our legacy and I told you about a Manager I had years ago who had an incredible impact on my life, and she doesn\u2019t even realise it.<\/p>\n If we are intentional about our influence and impact, our influence will matter a great deal.<\/p>\n \u201cLife is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n – Zig Ziglar<\/span><\/p>\n As always, I will leave you with that thought.<\/p>\n I also invite you to book a Complimentary Consultation<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with me where we can explore this further.<\/p>\n With best wishes for your success.<\/p>\n Korinne<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> Last week\u2019s Thought for the Week was about “Hearing What Isn’t Said“.
