Becoming a Person of Influence

"Becoming a Person of Influence - IQ Matrix"
---------------------------------------
A note from Jim Jacobs ... It's been said that "influence" is the ability to take a step without leaving a footprint. This article is a must-read for those eager to make a true difference. The article is too comprehensive and therfore too lenghty to post here in its entirety. Find it at:

Intorduction:

Becoming a Person of Influence has very little to do with the strength of your sales, negotiation or persuasive abilities. In fact, in some circumstances it’s not so much what you do, but rather what you refrain from saying or doing that has the greatest impact on your social interactions with others. And it is this seemingly insignificant difference that helps you establish deep levels of rapport with the people in your life; strengthening your character and enhancing your ability to gently influence others to your way of thinking.

This IQ Matrix Mind Map will specifically focus on the development of effective communication, listening and rapport creation habits that will enable you to become an extraordinarily influential force in other people’s lives.

The 1st Branch of this IQ Matrix Mind Map delves into fundamental rapport building strategies that will help you gain deep admiration and respect from the people in your life.
The 2nd Branch of this IQ Matrix Mind Map breaks down the habits of effective listening. It identifies the basic principles of listening and the barriers that usually prevent open and unbiased communication.

The 3rd Branch of this IQ Matrix Mind Map discusses the fundamental principles of vocal control and the communication strategies you must incorporate into your interactions with others that will help you become a person of influence.

The following article presents a brief overview of this topic in order to assist and enhance your understanding of the IQ Matrix Mind Map Poster. An in-depth report that breaks down each of these IQ Matrix segment branches - including an accompanying interactive workbook that will assist you in applying these concepts into your daily life - will be available at a later time.
