For example, in the Kindness Community I just started a monthly Coffee Hour, they happen the 1st Tuesday of each month. 9:00am.. Interested? Join the Kindness Village.
In world of change this community serves Change Agents and Social Entrepreneurs. The pay off is about co-working and collaborating together.. You know the saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” In the world of business and Entrepreneurship, this rings especially true. Influencing others is a crucial skill to possess if you want to make an impact, build successful relationships and achieve your goals.
Whether you’re a team leader, a business owner, or a change maker, the ability to influence people without squandering your time, talent, and resources is essential. But how do you do it effectively?
You join the groups where your audience hangs out and join groups that will help you grow and thrive.
To persuade others, you must understand what drives human behavior. People are motivated by their desires, fears, and needs.
To influence them, you must tap into these motivations and present your ideas in a way that resonates with them. Whether you’re pitching a new business idea or trying to garner support for a cause, understanding the power of persuasion is key.
The ability to frame your message in a way that speaks to people’s desires and addresses their fears is a fundamental skill for influencing others without wasting time and resources.
The #1 to Build Credibility and Trust, are the corner stones to build your Influence.
People are more likely to listen to and follow those whom they trust and believe in. Building credibility and trust requires demonstrating expertise, integrity, and reliability. Whether it’s through your track record of success, your knowledge and expertise in your field, or your commitment to ethical business practices.
#2 to Listen and Empathize – when you take the time to do this, try to understand the situation from their perspective not just yours. This helps you to build rapport and trust.
This not only fosters understanding but also allows you to tailor your message and approach to resonate with them. By actively listening and empathizing, you can gain valuable insights into what drives their behavior and tailor your approach to effectively influence them.
#3 Social proof is a powerful influencer. People are more likely to be swayed by the actions and opinions of others. Whether it’s through testimonials, endorsements, or demonstrations of social support, leveraging social proof can significantly impact your ability to influence others. If you can demonstrate that your ideas or initiatives have the support and backing of others. You can test them out in the community… how can we support you?
#4 “We are here for friends, social entrepreneurs and for business networking and education. It is a community designed to facilitate both social interactions and professional connections among its members.
It typically aims to create an environment where individuals can build personal relationships, share experiences, and support each other in both personal and professional endeavors.”
We want to be the best Community for you and to expand Kindness.. Join the movement today!
