4 LEVELS OF INFLUENCING PEOPLE

The following comes from the book, "Becoming A Person Of Influence" by John Maxwell and Jim Dornan:

Everyone is an influencer
of other people.

Level 1: Modeling
People are first influenced by what they see. You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the higher levels of influence, you have to work with individuals.

Level 2: Motivting
If you want to make a really significant impact on the lives of other people, you have to do it up close. And that brings you to the second level of influencing, motivating. You become a motivational influencer when you encourage people and communicate with them on an emotional level.

Level 3: Mentoring
Mentoring is pouring your life into other people and helping them reach their potential.

Level 4: Multiplying
As a multiplying influencer, you help people you’re influencing to become positive inluncers in the lives of others and pass on not only what they have received from you, but also what they have learned and gleaned on their own.
