Influence takes intentional practice and honest, self-reflection! We all have influence, but how are you growing yours every day? 

I spoke with Dan Newman-- a professional coach, life-long learner who explains that to be effective in organizations today, you must be able to influence people.

What we talked about:

• Theory of multiple intelligences
• Radical candor quadrant 
• Howard Gardner
• let go of your ego
• Christie's reading a book called Sapiens
• Have a quarterly check-in with yourself
• 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
• Nihlist Arby's
• Have a To-Don't list
• Stop checking your email so much! 
• Dan's podcast all about failure 
• Christie ditched facebook and insta 4 years ago and never looked back. "Living in the now, not someone else's now"
• Your influence is watered down when you blast everyone too much. Make connections to what they need to do, think about it through their eyes.
• "Your pulse survey is your authority." Use it to show the leadership team data to reveal where improvement can happen."
• Impact sandwich: Pulse, analyze, tell everyone your intentions, do the intention, pulse again, tell everyone the results. 
• The Social Leadership Handbook 
• Dan works at LearntoScale - they coach you to make the lives of everyone you touch more engaging, more equitable, and more fun.
• From Googling to Experting: Don't let Imposter Syndrome Win
