Episode 31 – Influence is…Pivotal, Versatile, & Adaptive
Today’s show is about learning to be a pivotal, versatile, and adaptive influencer. Brian and Ed take a deep dive into the meaning of each word and help give experiences they have had with them. Sit back and enjoy another great episode of Instinctive Influencers.
PIVOTAL:
A pivotal role, point or figure in something is one that is very important and affects the success of that thing
High school graduation is a pivotal moment in most people's lives — an important point that signifies a shift in direction.
You see the word pivot in pivotal. That is because when something is pivotal, it is central, and everything related to the topic turns or depends on it. An election can be a pivotal moment in a nation's history if the direction the country takes depends on it. Your belief in reincarnation may be pivotal to how you treat animals. Pivotal means important, but it has a sense of centrality and turning.
Some people are pivotal in our lives. They are present to us at just the right time with just what we need.
A pivotal person is extremely important to an endeavor. The success or failure of the project may hinge on the actions of the pivotal person, that person being the one who directs and guides other contributors to the project.

VERSATILE:
To describe a person or thing that can adapt to do many things or serve many functions, consider the adjective versatile.
In E.B. White's classic children's book Charlotte's Web, Charlotte the spider tells Wilbur the pig that she is versatile. "What does 'versatile' mean — full of eggs?" Wilbur asks. "Certainly not," Charlotte replies. "'Versatile' means I can turn with ease from one thing to another." Charlotte knew her etymology because the word reflects its Latin root, versatilis, "turning around; revolving." It eventually came to describe someone who is multi-talented: a singer-songwriter-actress-model would be a versatile figure in the entertainment world.
Definition of versatile
1: embracing a variety of subjects, fields, or skills also: turning with ease from one thing to another
2: having many uses or applications versatile building material
3: changing or fluctuating readily: VARIABLE a versatile disposition
4a(1): capable of turning forward or backward: REVERSIBLE a versatile toe of a bird
(2): capable of moving laterally and up and down versatile antennae
of an anther: having the filaments attached at or near the middle so as to swing freely

https://www.deseretnews.com/top/779/0/18-versatile-skills-to-succeed-in-any-job.html
ADAPTIVE:
Use adaptive to describe people who are flexible — they don't lose their cool when plans change quickly and they are always willing to learn new ways to do things. Being adaptive helps you sail along in today's ever-changing world.
What do chameleons and your grandparents who only started using computers a few years ago have in common? They are adaptive. Just as chameleons change color to match their surroundings — green when sitting on leaves, brown when climbing the tree's trunk — your grandparents learned the skills to keep up with the world around them. The opposite of adaptive is stubborn. People, lizards, or anything that refuses to change is stubborn. To welcome change is to be adaptive.

Episode 27 – Building and Deploying an Influencer Vision
Project five to 10 years in the future.
According to British/American author and motivational speaker, Simon Sinek “Vision is a destination — a fixed point to which we focus all effort. Strategy is a route — an adaptable path to get us where we want to go.”
Dream big and focus on success.
For people to be truly inspired, the vision needs to be big. It needs to be something that seems challenging so that it will call your team to draw on their best selves to be able to achieve it
Use clear, concise and jargon-free language.
Great examples of company vision statements:Habitat for Humanity: A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Disney: To Make People Happy
Cold Stone Creamery: The ultimate ice cream experience.
Microsoft: Empower people through great software anytime, anyplace, and on any device.
Southwest Air: To become the world’s most loved, most flown, and most profitable airline.
TED: Spread ideas.
Infuse it with passion and make it inspiring.
If you love it you will work hard for it, but if everyone else loves it you created a force multiplier to reach that goal.
Align it with your organizational/personal/community values and set goals.
Depending upon the reach you are striving for will be critical to who you actually influence. Values and goals have a deeply rooted hold upon people and if you are able to tie into those values and create clear goals then the buy-in will create overwhelming ownership.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you are setting goals and tracking progress relative to them:Make sure the goals are aligned with the vision. If you notice your team straying away from your main vision when setting goals, then bring them back to the vision.
Remind your team about the vision on a regular basis. You should be communicating it so often that everyone knows it by heart. For the vision to be useful, people have to actually know it!
Have your team members break down the larger goals into smaller time-limited objectives (and provide help, if needed). This will help to keep them on task, and moving forward appropriately.
Create systems that enable everyone to keep track of your goals and progress. This contributes to a sense of accountability around the goals that have been set.
Have a plan to communicate your vision to your others.
When people of similar interests come together and share a common vision, the collective energy automatically shoots up. There is a sense of real commitment. And, with a focus on the shared vision, success means the same for everyone involved. Without clarity, your team will become unproductive and inefficient. With a clear destination, they can be focused and inspired.
Be prepared to commit time and resources to the vision you establish
The accomplishment of a vision does not just happen instantly and will take time to truly be relevant or taken seriously. As you start looking at the elements of your vision you will begin to see that resources will be needed to accomplish what was stated. Create a plan of attack and then be prepared to deviate from the plan as needed, because not all goes as planned.
To help you get started at the level of self, try creating a vision board. A vision board is a dynamic tool used to help set a vision and constantly be reminded of that vision.
This website will help open you up to understanding what a vision board is and how to build one.

Episode 25 – The First Q&A Show
Below you will find all the questions posted for our very first Q&A Show. Don’t worry, you will get a chance to ask more questions for our next one which will be Episode 50.
Tammy Haley - Do you think that understanding Freud's Personality Factors can/will help you to influence others? (Perhaps this might be a full episode, as it encompasses so much).
Tammy Haley - Have either of you read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie? If so, what did you think of it?
Tammy Haley - To further it, if you haven't, perhaps the podcast could do a 'book club' type episode, where everyone interested can read the book, send in their views/interpretations on a thread, and y'all talk about just this book. I don't know. Seems my brain is flowing with ideas tonight
Tammy Haley - Brian - in the Suicide episode, you talked about the Netflix show "Thirteen Reasons Why". The show was actually based on the Novel of the same name by Jay Asher. I encourage you to read the novel, when you have the time, as it was very well written and even more traumatic and dramatic than the show. (Not really a question, just that I have read the book and I would love to hear what you think of it).
Tammy Haley -
Ice cream or sherbet? Fro-yo or gelato? Pizza or tacos? Cats or dogs? Sun or snow? Favorite season? Beach or mountains? Boxers or briefs?
Ric Williams - What was your most difficult leadership challenge, and when did you realize it was your most difficult leadership challenge
Tammy Haley - What are some lessons learned with professional boundaries for teams you lead?
Heather Linville - We talk to ourselves more than anyone...how big of an impact do you think our internal conversations have on our lives, and what way can we keep that internal conversation the most positive influence it can be? Do you have your own intentional, motivational talk with yourself or is it second nature?
Cathy Sanchez - What is the best way to handle a situation where you know your boss did something ethically wrong?

Episode 24 – Building a Lifelong Marriage of Influence
Building a relationship can be a challenge, but having some help along the way is always nice. Here are just a few tips to help you along your journey with your significant other.
10 signs the honeymoon phase is over:
You stop trying to be your best you in appearance and action for the other person…sweatpants on and makeup or styling off.
You start being more honest about your dislikes…especially restaurants!
You stop acting like everything is wonderful all the time.
Fighting begins…or at least small disagreements.
You joke about bodily functions.
You are aware of your partner’s negative mannerisms…or what you perceive as negative.
You become reactive to conflict or you have an itch to be combative about something you feel strongly about.
You have power struggles or start to keep score.
You start talking negatively about the partner with someone outside the relationship…could be something as small is talking about what bothers you.
You get in a fight and then create separation.
From this point, the actual relationship building truly begins but only as much as you want it.
14 Areas of a Lifelong Marriage of Influence:
Communication –
Never involve others who could be biased –
Don’t bash insecurities…support them –
Give needed Space and know how to request it –
Do Chores together –
Make important decisions together –
Have Fun Together, especially laugh –
Leave the past behind you –
Apologize –
Respect each other when not together –
Make sacrifices for each other and don’t keep count –
Remember you can only control your 100% of the marriage, not theirs.
Share your Faith/Spirituality/Religion
Say “I Love You” Everyday…and do it with meaning.
