| How to influence anyone |
You need to know the techniques behind influencing, so you can use it to your advantage.
It will give you a leadership mindset that grows and turn you into a great influencer.
If you want to change other people’s lives, then you need to influence them and this will make you more respectful and authoritative person.
Here is the best ways to influence other people :-
1. Be Authentic

To influence people in a positive way, be authentic. Rather than being a carbon copy of someone else’s version of authenticity, uncover what it is that makes you unique.
Discover your unique take on an issue and then live up to and honor that. Once of the reasons social media influencers are so powerful is that they have carved out a niche for themselves or taken a common issue and approached it from a novel or uncommon way. People instinctually appreciate people whose public persona matches their private values.
Contradictions bother us because we crave stability. When someone professes to be one way, but lives contrary to that profession, it signals that they are confused or untrustworthy and thereby, inauthentic. Neither of these combinations bode well for positively influencing others.
2. Make others feel important

Everyone wants to feel important. You want to feel important as well.
Right?
Exactly. When you make them feel important, they will be more likely to stay in your hands.
You can’t make someone do something that you want them to do. Unless they want to do it themselves.
For example, if you ask a sweeper to clean the floors, he will do it but not passionately. He won’t like you.
But when you let him know that he’s important because he always help you to make your office cleaner, then he will do it with more passion and love you for the behaviour.
3. Listen

Growing up, my father would tell me to listen to what others said. He told me if I listened carefully, I would know all I needed to know about a person’s character, desires and needs.
To positively influence others, you must listen to what is spoken and what is left unsaid. Therein lies the explanation for what people need in order to feel validated, supported and seen. If a person feels they are invisible, and unseen by their superiors, they are less likely to be positively influenced by that person.
Listening meets a person’s primary need of validation and acceptance.
4. Lead by example
ase in point: Simone Biles. The gymnast extraordinaire won her 6TH all-around title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships after doing a triple double. She was the first woman to do so. Watching her gave me chills. Even non-gymnasts and non-competitive athletes can appreciate the talent required to pull off such a remarkable feat.
We celebrate remarkable accomplishments and believe that their example is proof that we too can accomplish something great, even if it isn’t qualifying for the Olympics. To influence people in a positive way, we must lead by example, lead with intention and execute with excellence.
5. Connect with emotions

When you connect with other people’s emotions, they are more likely to do things for you. You don’t need to ask them.
You need to connect your emotions with them and become more understanding. This will help you to influence other people and give you position of a leader.
However, if you can connect other people’s emotions to a goal, it can drive your company to a next level.
They will do anything to achieve the goal with you, when your emotions and their emotions are connected with the same goal.
6. Respect other people opinion

Never ever tell anyone that “you’re wrong”. Respect other people’s opinion as well. They might believe in something different and they think they are right from their perspective.
When they tell you something that isn’t true or right, instead of saying “you’re wrong“. Say this “I respect your opinion but from my perspective, it’s different“.
Ask them, do you want to know why?
Then it’s time to tell them what you think without offending their self esteem.
This is the best way to approach a person if you want to influence people.
7. Be kind rather than right
I am going to level with you; this one is tough. It is easy to get caught up in a cycle of proving oneself. For people who lack confidence, or people who prioritize the opinions of others, being right is important. The validation that comes with being perceived as “right” feeds one’s ego. But in the quest to be “right,” we can hurt other people. Once we’ve hurt someone by being unkind, it is much harder to get them to listen to what we’re trying to influence them to do.The antidote to influencing others via bullying is to prioritize kindness above rightness. You can be kind and still stand firm in your position. For instance, many people think that they need others to validate their experience. If a person does not see the situation you experienced in the way you see it, you get upset. But your experience is your experience.
If you and your friends go out to eat and you get food poisoning, you do not need your friends to agree that the food served at the restaurant was problematic for you. Your own experience of getting food poisoning is all the validation you need. Therefore, taking time to be right is essentially wasted and, if you were unkind in seeking validation for your food-poison experience, now you’ve really lost points.
Influencing people is about centering your humanity. If you want to influence others positively, focus on the way you communicate and improve the relationship with yourself first.
It’s hard to influence others if you’re still trying to figure out how to communicate with yourself.
