In this episode of The Unlock Lab, I kick off part one of my three-part series on influencing change. Because we just all love and embrace change, right? HA! I talk about the dual nature of influence - how we can be strong agents of change but that we also have to recognize that we can’t control outcomes or how others respond. Join me as I explore how embracing our power and accepting uncertainty can help us create the meaningful changes we’re all after in our lives.
Highlights:
•We all have the power to influence change in our lives and surroundings.
•We can be strong agents of change, but we can't control others' actions.
•The path forward for creating a better tomorrow is to do it together.
Quotables:

"Part of what I want you to do is actually reflect on when have you influenced change for yourself and externally, who have you tried to influence to make a decision that you wanted them to make?"

"I think the way that we tend to go about it is we try to control change. We tend to wrap our arms around it because we are afraid of what change can bring, and instead we actually have to embrace the change and stand in our own power."
[00:14:14]
"Change is happening so fast and in every discipline that if we want to figure out what all this means and how do we use all this new technology, for good, the we have got to talk about it and collaborate on it, we've got to drink a lot of coffee together and look at things from different perspectives."
