If you want to influence others, you need to put influential words in your vocabulary.  Unfortunately, the common statements you hear are,”If only they would…” or “If I could do it then it would be done well.”  These are controlling statements, not influential ones.  Watch out for these statements because they give you a false reality of your abilities and leave others discouraged.  Try these statements instead: “What can I do to help you?” or “You are doing an amazing job!” These will encourage others and create influence.  You cannot control anyone, but you can influence them.
