Pace & Influence

Welcome to this week's Life Warm-Up™ -

Building Your Influencer Inc. Company

Howdy All! There is a special P.S. at the end of this Life Warm Up!

Pace & Influence

People's Styles can be measured in two ways: Pace and Priority.

This week we will look at the dynamics of Pace.

• Pace – The speed in which something moves.
•  Some people like to move more quickly when it comes to thoughts, interacting with people and getting results.
• Some people like to move more slowly when it comes to thoughts, interacting with people and getting results.
• Faster-paced people can be identified as Active and Outgoing.
• I call this Rapid Personality Mode
• Slower-paced people can be identified by terms like Passive and Reserved.
• I call this Reserved Personality Mode
• Conflict can arise when someone wants to move at one pace or speed and someone else wants to move at a different pace or speed.
• Let’s go right now.  (Faster-paced)
• Let’s take our time and think about this. (Slower-paced)
• Our willingness to adapt our pace to meet the pace of another will increase our influence with that person.
• One pace is not better than another; it is just the pace that they feel most comfortable moving at.
• You can become an expert on people by asking this question:
• Do you like to move through life more quickly and spontaneously or more slowly and carefully?

Really think about how you like to interact with people this week.  Also reflect on how you like to make decisions or handle problems?  Have you noticed that some of your biggest conflicts arise simply from a difference in pace?  It’s worth thinking about it!

P.S. - Some of you right now are reading this and thinking - Isn't it possible to be a little bit of both.  The answer is absolutely!  You are a unique blend of both paces and priorities.  I do want to point out that if you are thinking that hard about this then you are probably not as fast-paced as you think! 

P.S.S - If the previous statement made you rethink everything and you are still contemplating on your pace then I would definitely go with slower-paced! By the way the faster-paced people have long since moved on…if they even made it this far!

Have a great week,

Sincerely,

Pete Hinojosa
