Episode 033 - "Remarkable"

In today’s episode of The Influence Every Day Show, Dr. Ed Tori explores the power of recognizing the remarkable actions of others. When we notice someone doing something extraordinary, we face a choice: stay silent, acknowledge it internally, or truly amplify it. Dr. Tori delves into one of his seven simple rules of influence—to remark about the remarkables (to a third party). Sharing compliments with someone important to the person being praised can have profound ripple effects, building rapport across relationships and reinforcing positive behaviors.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Choosing to See Remarkable: Recognizing exceptional actions and taking a moment to truly appreciate them.
  2. Public vs. Private Acknowledgment: Deciding when to praise someone directly or in a group setting and why both matter.
  3. The Third-Party Compliment: Building rapport by telling someone important about a person’s good deeds. This amplifies the effect, as the message is shared without an agenda and often reaches back to the individual.
  4. Spread Good Gossip: Not only does this improve rapport, but it can inspire others to act in kind, creating a culture of positive influence.

    5. Quote of the Episode: "If somebody does something remarkable, remark about it. Seth Godin said, ‘Remarkable is a choice.’ Let’s honor that choice by sharing their actions with others.”

    Who can you recognize today? Tell someone important to them, and watch the influence unfold.
