Influence With Integrity

This month in my newsletter we’re sharing some secrets that key influencers use to nourish the minds and actions of people who live/work in communities. That may be social communities, workplace teams or families.

Enabling human thriving is easiest when leaders, caregivers, parents and managers demonstrate these practices:

⭐ ‘Walking their talk’ as role models for continuous improvement, taking responsibility for personal development that leads to professional flourishing.

⭐ Understanding how rapport works and how to shift people’s most useful states of consciousness.

⭐ Helping people’s nervous systems feeling safe is key – and that can be influenced both consciously and non-consciously.

⭐ Non-judgement and non-labelling of mistakes and recognising how transient behaviours are often invaluable learning opportunities.

⭐ Validating an individual’s reality as true for them in that moment of time while guiding their attention to a healthier realities and more desirable outcomes.

⭐ Guidance through difficulties with a ‘you’ve got this’ attitude while coaching sustainable mind skills.

⭐ Valuing fresh air, connection to nature, good nutrition, hydration, rest.

⭐ Physical movement with different kinds of rhythm, pace and expression is key to good neuro-physiological health.

⭐ Utilising background sounds & modulating voice tones that stimulate useful states of excitement, focus, and/or soothing calm.

These practices influence the non-conscious reptilian brain’s encoding of life experiences to date (map of the world). This brain part learns fast and prioritises familiarity to ensure survival. It is not rational and sometimes acts alone, without the guidance of logic and healthy emotion, which can be problematic!

Each nervous system in any group of humans, is SIMPLY finding ways to feel safe, albeit sometimes in unhealthy ways.

Your role as a people manager (home, work or play) is to help the whole system thrive by nourishing the individual component parts within. This requires congruent intention and high-level skills for influencing with integrity and precision.

Isn’t it time you discovered how you can contribute to a new thriving system for a flourishing next generation?
