Influence: Want to Influence Others? Try Serving Them.

You influence others by your actions, and by your inaction. You may "dress to impress", try to have more things or speak louder to try to influence others. But when you think about it, some of your greatest influence comes through the humble act of serving not impressing people. Influencing by Impressing actually distances you from others, and when you are far away, it's hard to influence.  Serving gets you up close and personal. And up close and personal is where stuff really starts to happen. Sound counter-intuitive and maybe a little uncomfortable? Let's talk about it.
