Have you ever had this great idea that you were excited to share with your manager, CEO or team leader… and they just don’t get it? They're not onboard. They're not excited. And the idea disappears.
In today's episode, we'll unpack some of what might be going on in those sorts of situations. We're talking power and influence with Tracey Bridges, Chair of the Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency and co-founder of The Good Registry.
Tracey's message for you is that you are powerful, and that you probably have more power than you understand or give yourself credit for. We talk about using your power for good, and how our culture can perpetuate the myth that you can only obtain influence or power by removing it from others.
Tracey challenges these myths by introducing the idea of an influence exchange - that you only become influential, truly influential by giving influence to others.
