Because of interpersonal communication, we all influence each other when we speak.  How strongly we do so is the big question.

Another big question is whether we’re influencing them toward something healthy or something destructive.  While this latter question is something you ultimately answer for yourself, the former question -- how strongly we influence other people -- is mainly a matter of learnable skills . . . that and passion. 

All communication -- especially interpersonal communication -- is persuasive in one sense: If I’m talking to you, I’m persuading you to picture in your mind what I have in mine.  It stands to reason, then, that the better I get not only at clear communication but at persuasively saying what I’ve got to say, the closer I’ll get to what I want.

And what I want should benefit both of us.  (Why would you continue to deal with me, if I only looked out for my own immediate best interests?  If you also benefit, we continue on in a mutually beneficial way.)

You could think of it being called interpersonal communication not just because two people are interacting; in a very real way, they’re also both benefiting from the interaction.

Sometimes, the focus is going to go much more strongly in one direction.  People suffer disappointment and worse . . . and an influential person is going to know when to stop pushing for his own agenda. 

Part of the persuasion process we’re talking about includes persuading the other guy that we’re on his side . . . that we’ve got faith he’s going to come back stronger for the pain he’s going through.  That’s part of principled leadership.

Read and study the material you’ll find here.  You’re not just a “careerist.”  You’ve also got a life, and that life includes other people: not just the people who are on your team at work, but also those who depend on you at home.

Some of what we’ll talk about includes how to build loyalty and trust.  This is a short, tough, but practical guide to making a major improvement in your life.  Click above to get started learning about interpersonal communication.

A person who’s equipped and motivated to help others is often someone you wouldn’t suspect.  When he’s needed and he shows up, he’s remembered forever for it.
