# 26 Influence Without the Ego: How Serving Others Gets You Seen (and Supported)

Want real influence? Put the megaphone down and grab a chair. Literally. In EPS 26 of Leader Fuel, Dr. Linda Travelute spills the tea on a lab visit gone sideways—and how a stack of chairs turned into a crash course in leadership that earns loyalty, not eye rolls. Whether you're running a team, a business, or just trying to get your clients to actually listen, this episode shows you how servant leadership (without the martyr complex) gets you seen, supported, and seriously respected. No ego required.

Whether you’re leading a team, a client, a patient—or just trying to lead your business with more impact—this is your invitation to shift how you see influence.

This episode dives into:

• 💡 How small, consistent acts of service create deep loyalty

• 💡 Real-world stories from Herb Kelleher, Tony Hsieh, Bob Chapman

• 💡 A mindset shift that could change how you lead forever
