Are you a ladder climber or a bridge builder?



Both are strategies that could help you gain title, money, and power. But, only one will gain you the respect, buy-in and full cooperation of others.

I work with my clients to increase their influence, not their authority. 



I do this because I’ve seen the power of influence, and I’ve seen authority and control backfire on many people and organizations.



We’ve all been taught to climb the ladder and chase titles and power.

But, every single moment of growth and success I’ve had in my career has been because of my ability to build bridges NOT to climb ladders. 



As a leader, your ability to connect – deeply and meaningfully – will allow you to inspire and motivate people while positively impacting your overall organization. 

This ability will help you get buy-in from your colleagues, clients, members, volunteers, donors, boards of directors and others.

The best part is your ability to influence requires no title and no authority. 



Influence doesn’t care about ladder climbing, and it pays no attention to where you sit on your company’s org chart. 



Anyone can be an influencer – right at the moment.



So, stop worrying about the ladder. Build bridges and watch your influence grow.
