In this third and final part of the Influencing Change series on The Unlock Lab, I share some thoughts on common patterns that impact our ability to effectively influence change - like leaving too soon and overstaying our welcome. I also remind you that influence needs space and time and change is never on the timeline that we want. Let's also not forget the importance of celebrating every little win along the way. Tune in to learn how we can all show up, stay patient, and make the changes we’re aiming for, one step at a time.
Highlights:
The magic ingredient of change: SPACE
The two situations you don't want to stay in

"We are still going to participate in this world that we live in. At least that's my hope for you. My hope is that regardless of what's going on, that you continue to say, I'm here to Drive change."

"I can't put you in a pressure cooker and you pop out 30 minutes later and it's like, oh my God, I'm a whole new person. No, first of all, you don't need to be a whole new person. But you pick up what I'm putting down."

The next thing to do is to claim that you're powerful and to know that you're powerful and to activate your power, to say, you know what? I can change things for myself. I can make them better. I can make a new choice. I can try something new.
