A private body of work on power, influence, and impact.
Built over more than two decades of thinking, writing, coaching, and practice, this library brings together everything I have developed on the applied use of influence in real organisational settings.
It is not a collection of articles.
It is a cumulative capability resource.
Articles. Courses. Frameworks. Principles.
This work addresses how to:
- Navigate organisational politics without losing integrity
- Build strong, high-trust relationships that compound over time
- Shape a reputation that opens doors rather than closes them
- Influence with clarity, judgement, and impact
This site holds my full archive. It is no longer publicly accessible.
You’ll need to be a paying subscriber to Built for More.
What’s Inside
- 1,000+ written insights – deep thinking on power, politics, relationships, decision-making, and strategic action.
- 50+ hours of video training – practical frameworks and guidnance for handling influence challenges at every level.
- Structured courses – covering visibility, alliances, reputation, career strategy, leadership, and organisational dynamics.
- Personal commentary – new material added as the work continues to evolve.
Together, this forms a coherent system for developing influence as a professional capability — not a set of techniques to copy, but a way of thinking and operating.
This is not self-help.
It is serious, applied work for people who want to rise without becoming someone they are not.
Who It’s For
You already operate at a high level.
You are trusted. You deliver. People rely on your judgement.
And yet, you know that progress now depends less on effort — and more on how you navigate power, perception, and influence.
Built for More is for professionals who want to:
- Move deliberately rather than reactively
- Navigate complexity with judgement rather than force
- Play the real game of organisational success without selling out
If that describes you, access to the Applied Influence Library is available through a paid subscription to Built for More.

A Note from Colin
I’m Colin Gautrey. For over twenty years, I’ve worked with professionals navigating senior roles, complex organisations, and the realities of power and influence.
This library represents the totality of that work.
Built for More is where I now focus my energy – developing, refining, and sharing applied insight for those who are ready to engage with it seriously.
