"The greatest ability in business is to get along with others and to influence their actions." John Hancock
One of my strengths - or "talents" (since this is a "talent contest") is INFLUENCE. What IS "influence"? When we use our INFLUENCE, we are attempting to have our ideas understood and accepted by others. One of the formal definitions is......
For s
everal months now, I have felt I should use my talent - my "influence" - and be that "compelling force" to "persuade" others to join with the Boot Campaign, an organization focused on giving back to wounded warriors when they return from war. I have especially focused on "influencing" other "suits" (business professionals) to "get their boots on"!
T
he very first time I saw the Boot Campaign (www.BootCampaign.com) - I was immediately INFLUENCED by five women in Texas who began the Boot Campaign as a way to honor and give back to our returning heroes. Their motto is "When they come back, we give back..." For every pair of combat boots purchased from their website, $25.00 goes to wounded warrior projects. You can check it out at www.BootCampaign.com and when you "get YOUR boots on" YOU CAN BE AN INFLUENCER TOO!
My BNI (Business Networking International) group.....INFLUENCED to "get their boots on"....
Owner and CEO of Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation purchased 170 pair of boots for all of the corporate staff.....INFLUENCED after watching the video at www.SuitsInBoots.Net
Here is my three minute "talent" video to influence YOU!
(You can go to www.SuitsInBoots.net for a LONGER and more detailed video)
So..how are YOU using YOUR talent? Your INFLUENCE, your "capacity or power" to be a "compelling force" for good? Are you using it for others, to make a difference?
NOW THAT'S TALENT!
