The single most important skill to have in life is the ability to influence. The life spheres of family, work, social, and spiritual are all connected by a single principle: Influence requires relationship. The common mistake is to overlook the root of your relationships with others, which is the relationship with yourself. Outward disconnectedness begins within. Starting within, take ownership of the relational influence you can have and need to have in your home, workplace, and beyond. Overcome self-sabotaging "Me-Monsters," connect more deeply with others, resolve conflict, gather/give feedback, avoid manipulation, and lead others regardless of your title or position. Before you're old and grumpy, before you've burned too many bridges, and before it's too late... take ownership and unlock the power of your influence.
