What's the difference between influence and manipulation? Intent. Think about that for a second. She knew that. So when we think about why are we trying to influence somebody? What's the intent when we're communicating to them? Is it for them or is it to get something from them? What happens when you're in a conversation and you really feel the other person is listening to you? What do you do? You open up more. Because listening is a form of connection. The more the other person thinks and believes, and it better be with the right intent that you're listening. There's a connection. They're more apt to listen to your point of view and they're more apt to open up. But we think about what we're going to say next. That's the difference. As a leader or as a parent, your job is not to solve their problem. It's to teach them how to solve their problem. Do they always solve it using these questions? No. Then you've got to provide some guidance. The power of communication and the power of influence can bring people together. Would you agree? Can it also tear people apart? It can inspire people to do things like that chorus in that song. But it could also plant seeds of fear. When we meet somebody new for the first time, or when you meet somebody new for the first time, what are you thinking about them? What do you. What's the questions you're asking yourself about them? Throw it out. Seriously. When you meet somebody new for the first time, what are you asking yourself about them? Where are they from? What do they do? What kind of person are they? What's that? Am I going to like them? Are they going to like me? What do they.
