People Power

People-Power Breaks Into Four Basic Questions

(Answering the questions is a valuable exercise)

How Much Value Do Others Offer to You?

How much value do others offer to you?  First you have to separate real value from false perceptions.  If you are unrealistically trying to fill the expectations of your internal needs, the value will be negative.  The real value that others offer to you depends on your ability to recognize and relate to their rules and realities.  Without your ability to recognize and access other’s values, their values are basically worthless or negative to you. 

How Much Influence Do Others Have Over You?

How much influence do others have over you?  Are you able to resist a salesperson on the phone, in a store, or on a car lot?  Are you or others in control of your money, thoughts, efforts, and time?  Do you take away from your family and friends while you let others use you?  Who is in control of your life—you or others?  Do you support a child’s foolish behavior while you criticize other parents for doing the same?  Are you being victimized by someone who is being a continual victim?  Are you ready for better control?

How Much Value Do You Offer to Others?

How much value do you offer to others?  Is your value to others being someone that they can use or victimize—someone that they will dislike because you are weak?  Or is your value due to the strength and character that you represent as an individual—value that you can build with Viewpoint skills?  Your preference should be obvious, but we too often find ourselves on the being used list.   Viewpoint skills can make a difference.

How much influence do you have over others?

How much influence do you have over others?  How good are your communicating, teaching, sales, and intimidation skills?  You may want to reject the idea of using these skills, but they do have their appropriate places for application.  By learning the above skills, you stay better prepared and you are stronger in resisting influencing efforts from others.  Your resistance will improve other’s behavior towards you.  Too often ignored is the leadership influence that you can generate by leading your life as an example of personal strength and character.  This type of life-style leadership can be quite difficult to ignore by others—even those who would criticize.

Building people power is part of the Viewpoint skill package.
