3 Worldviews That Will Sabotage Your Ability To Influence
1. I must protect myself (Wall go up, influence goes down)
2. I must benefit (what’s in it for me)
3. I must control (they must do it the way I want)
“When you believe the best about others after you’ve seen their worst, you move into the best position to make the most difference in their life!”
Three Ways To Grow Your Potential For Influence
1. Focus on the person
Philippians 2:3-5 “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
2. Focus on their potential
Ephesians 4:32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
3. Focus on their purpose
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
