We can always learn useful, respectful, and effective ways to lead, sell, and influence. And, with effort, we will succeed. We have an opportunity, though, to make leading, selling, and influencing effortless. We can become masters of these crafts by become masters of presence.
Presence is a state where we are neither regretting and trying to fix the past nor worrying about and trying to control the future.
When we lead, sell, and influence from presence, we are no longer hooked to any specific path so all paths open up to us. Resistance (our own and that of other people) fades, people are attracted to working with us, and–the best part–creative, effective, win-win solutions appear rapidly and often.
Which is nice.
In your corner,
Mike

Very well said. I will quote you on that! 🙂 Frank
Thank you, Frank. Quote away. I hope it resonates with others.
