4 Powerful Steps to Expand Your Influence and Impact
By Karen Lemke
Do you dream of being more influential at work? Do you wish you had the courage to say “hard” things? Would you love to make a real difference in the lives of others, and leave a lasting legacy? Well… You can! And it’s easier to do all of those things than you may think. The secret irony is this: Your thoughts and actions may be getting in the way of precisely what you hope to achieve. In fact, the way to a powerful impact outside of you begins with a focused alignment within you! If you dream of feeling successful, motivated and inspired, but instead feel drained, disappointed and discouraged, you have the power to change that. By flipping some common mindsets and practicing a few new tools, you can start creating everything you wish to have, be, do and feel… right now!
I invite you to join me at the Women’s Leadership Conference at the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI on October 4. We’ll talk about practical steps that make it EASY for you to expand your impact – and to have more FUN along the way. Life doesn’t have to be a struggle. You can experience joy, ease and growth every day, if you believe it and know how to access it. And once you have attained that for yourself, you are positioned to make a more significant difference in the world than you may have ever imagined. No matter what level of success and happiness you currently enjoy, there is opportunity for you to dream bigger and live better by following four simple, memorable ACTS:
1. Align Attitude – discover how “making it a GOAL to feel GOOD” jumpstarts the process and empowers any individual (or group). The first key to attracting everything you desire lies in how you show up, and the attitude you share.
2. Choose Conclusion – learn to begin any adventure (or even just a conversation) with a clear goal of how you want it to conclude. Pinpoint your desired destination, and then choose your best route for getting there.
3. Think/Feel – practice powerful ways to use your thoughts and feelings to your benefit. Learn how they work to fulfill your most profound goals, objectives, desires and dreams… and how to change any thoughts or feelings that are currently holding you back. You’ll see why daydreaming makes all the difference for your future.
4. Say/Do – Words matter! What you say to yourself and to others directly affects your experience and your success. Learn very specific things to say (and not say). These scripted phrases will empower you to tackle tough conversations with ease and confidence. Then focus your talents, passions and actions to serve a high purpose. You’ll make a big impact, and have FUN doing it!
