I believe we show up on the earth with
an ‘Assignment’ to:
1. Discover who we are. (Life-Long
Learning)
2. Fully express that Self in each
moment. (Authenticity)
3. In a way that creates a world
that works. (Contribution)

A Breakthrough Question:
What could happen if you turned
your workplace into a
‘classroom’ for developing your
Self, and maximizing your
contribution – to your
organization, your community
and the larger world?

‘Influence’
means CHANGE
In 2’s:
If you could simply speak
something to your world or work
that would instantly change it,
what would you say?

• What are your ‘circles of
influence’?
• Where do you have at
least some credibility and
respect?
• What do you think you
need in order to begin?

On the journey of influence (change) you have to start
from where you—and the system—are right now.

If change does begin with
accepting the way things
are now. . .
where ARE ‘things’ now?

• What are the hardest
aspects of the way things
are now for you to
accept?
• What would you have to
let go of to be with them?

‘I am that. . .’
Corporate greed. Abuse of
power. Using people.
Destructive distribution of
wealth or respect. Hatred. War.
Raping the earth. Oppression.
Religious self-righteousness.

• Facilitating creative change
(influencing) is a spiritual
matter.
• Change cannot be managed.
• It must be led.
• You want to manage something?
Manage yourself. . .

5. Information Power--What you know
6. Expertise Power--What you can DO
7. Personal Power--Who you ARE
