INFLUENCE

Influence is one of the most underestimated forms of power in our world. It doesn’t demand attention like authority. It doesn’t require a microphone, a platform, or a title. But make no mistake—influence can shape lives, shift destinies, and steer history. You’ve seen it. You’ve felt it. The teacher who made you believe you were smart. The grandmother who prayed until something broke. The friend whose advice still echoes in your decisions today. They may never have called themselves leaders, but they influenced you— and that’s leadership. We live in a culture where fame is confused with influence. But real influence doesn’t come from likes or followers. It comes from credibility, character, and consistent action. True influence isn’t noisy. It’s persistent and often quiet—but powerful.
