The Influence to Thrive Model

If you wish to thrive at work, and in life, you have to become influential.

Right now, many people are feeling frustrated, uncertain and indecisive. Never before have we had so many reasons to feel this way.

And never has there been a time when developing your ability to influence and shape your world has been more important.

External influences are all around us. Telling us what to do, how things will be, and “No, you can’t do that.” These forces have irrevocably changed the world we live in. For good or for ill, well-meaning or self-serving, it is impossible to tell right now.

This adds to the call to action, to develop your own way to thrive within the parameters and boundaries of today and tomorrow. A call to action that demands you develop your own stance, strategy and plan to make it happen while insisting that you hold tight to an independent heart and mind.

If you don’t rally to this call to action, that is your choice. But, rest assured, the consequences of that choice will not be within your control.

Thus, after over 15 years of working in the field of power and influence, now is the perfect moment for me to pull all the threads of this work together, especially the insights gained from my private-client coaching and mentoring work. The time is ripe for a new model to help you respond to this call to action and begin to thrive at work, and in life, within this new world.

Applied well, this model will help you to quickly move towards confidence, certainty and self-assurance.

Then you will begin to thrive.

The Influence to Thrive Model

A powerful model to build your capability to thrive at work and in life.

The purpose of this model is to focus on specific areas that, once developed, will have a significant and beneficial impact on your ability to thrive at work and in life. This will help you to move quickly from being a person who is frustrated, uncertain and indecisive to being one who demonstrates confidence, certainty and self-assurance.

And a person who inspires others and leads by example – a role-model for the future.

Taking Control

Re-evaluating everything that is going on in your life so that you can make clear decisions about why you are doing what you are doing and work out what you need to focus your effort on.

Before you can discover the big things that need to change, you have to grab hold of today and make it yours. Bring order to the chaos that surrounds you. Doing this will reduce the noise and distraction, enable you to decide where to apply your energy, and prepare you for greater work to come.

Confidence can never co-exist with chaos. But, bringing chaos under control gives confidence room to flourish!

The 5 Cs of Influence to Thrive

As you start to feel more in control of how you are responding to everything going on around you, you can shine a light on one of the following areas, based on where you will get the biggest return.

One important aspect to note is that these are not linear steps, but a way of prioritising your time, energy and action, so you get the greatest return. Additionally, the depth you go to on each will vary depending on your situation and, frankly, your experience in applying the model.
