How to Influence Others - Building relationships

A Message from Noelyne....

An essential element for influencing others is the quality of the relationships that you have cultivated.

Good relationships = more influence.

You'll have better relationships and support if:
  • Colleagues like working with you 
  • Friends like spending time with you
  • You make whoever you are with feel valued.
Steps to cultivating better relationships:

1. Show interest in others, asking about and paying attention to their concerns. Put yourself in their shoes, and ask for or offer help when appropriate.
2. Be respectful to your family, friends and colleagues, treating them as you'd like to be treated yourself. Listen to and encourage them. Show you recognise the value of their contribution. Say thank you and give compliments.

Take time to get to know people and get yourself known. Keep your name on people's mind. Contact friends and colleagues regularly to keep up to date with what's happening in their world. Remember people's names when you meet them. It means a lot!

Enjoy the process of life
