                        Influencing for actions the children’s ways

Influencing is something that everyone desires in life and everything in order to receive in life it requires one to influence. Influencing can also be said as selling or marketing your view point to be accepted and as a request for action to be taken.

Different people and experts have long written useful knowledgeable and ideas on how you can influence people around and ensure your ideas works and gets accepted without you using a lot of energy hassle free the easier ways

Amongst some few to mention great people that I have read and listened their Audio books that have written intensely on how to influence is Dale Carnegie, Chriss Voss, John Maxwel, Robert Cialdin.

I am lucky to spend my time with my two little kids and the things that I learned from them on how I can best to influence them to take action and to do what I want them to do and I thought these are very good things that we can look at them in depth on how they can be used to influence our childrens.

But not that these strategies are useful to childrens only but also to adults the strategies works well as I tried some of them and I saw their impacts to me .

And I was pushed to think how we can manipulate these strategies to work in different areas in our lives .like How to make employees do the work, how to make the society do certain activity, how to convince my boss  to help me, How can I walk into certain office and request something and receive a highest level of acceptance, How can I convince my client to buy from me.

Let us head back what my childrens wanted from me so I would receive a result that I wanted to have.

Ø  Good promises against threats

o   The threats never worked for my children since they are young they can forget but if they are little older they will find a way to cheat but good promises creates love them to do something and inspires them to do more

Ø  Competition makes them do better

o   Childrens do best they want to do beyond others or surpassing the targets it always is better to set the targets for the people you want to do something to achieve.

Ø  They want to be recognized as the best in what they do to be better

o   Recognition is what they hunger for it is every human being nature wants to be recognized for their contribution.

Ø  Rewards most of time makes them do better to receive the rewards

o   Childrens love gifts and presents so one of the means to influence them is to offer them gifts and things they love. employees are no different you can treat them with pay raise, training ,public praise.

Ø  They like to be loved

o   Love plays a critical role in life Example you could hear a child I am going to grandfather he will give me this and that so when that misses even an employee if not loved by God they would switch their bosses.an employee who discovers his or her boss does not love them they would always be thinking of running away.A client who comes to understand what matters to you is his money not him he would live you even if you have good product or service.

Ø  Engagement-

o   Children they don’t want to be idle if you want them to stop doing something give them something else they would do better. No employee loves to be idle I was observing some footballers who would be willing to live a team if they don’t get a chance to play it is same for kids,employees,or being part of any community everyone wishes to give his contribution .

Ø   Understanding people

o   It requires that to influence anyone you need to understand that person failure to do that means it a total failure on your side because you will be writing a letter using a normal paper to a blind person or talking with a deaf person they will not move at all.
