People Perspective - Influence

Building Your Influencer Inc. Company

Howdy All!
People Perspective - Influence
  • People don’t do things against you; they are normally doing things for themselves.
  • We often assume that certain people have it out for us, and that is why they do things to cause us troubles.
  • When we believe that people do things against us, we do not allow for the best or most productive interactions with those people.
  • When we open our minds to the belief or attitude that people are normally doing things for themselves (from their perspective) we don’t take things so personally and it allows the possibility of better relationships.
  • Instead of feeling frustrated or misunderstood, seek to understand why the other person is doing what they are doing.
  • Awareness is the first key to becoming a person of influence.
    • What do I need to be more aware of when working with others? 
  • Asking the right questions is the second key to becoming a person of influence.
    • How can I better relate to this person? 
    • What do I really like about this person?
    • What can I learn from my interaction with this person?
  • Responding to the needs and perspectives of others is the third key to becoming a person of influence.
    • Because people don’t always handle situations exactly the same, how can I see from the other person’s perspective and become an influence in their life?

What would happen to your relationships if you started to notice that we often only see from our own perspective? 
Wouldn’t your relationships become increasingly better if you began to seek first to understand where the other person was coming from; instead of thinking that person is just causing you frustration?
How you interact with others says a lot about your ability to maintain influence.  This week increase your awareness and be open to seeing from the other person’s perspective or viewpoint before believing that they are doing things against you!

Have a great week,

Sincerely,
Pete Hinojosa
