I learned a lot from reading Influence People by Barbara Steinhoff Schneider. She put a lot of important facts and information in regards to how we look at and do things and how others base their opinions about us from it. The first thing she stresses is being able to respect yourself as well as others. Until you can respect yourself you can never respect others. Following what you preach is difficult to do especially when things get to you. No matter what, you are human first with the reactions of one. How you handle situations in life tells a lot about you. When you’re angry do you yell or throw things or make threats? You can't influence people in a good way if you your self don't handle things in a way that is not calm or controlled. This then leads in to trust and can you be trusted to make good decisions. This is another issue she discusses along with being helpful, positive, giving, and many more areas. Having the strength to be able to always be your best so that you can be a good influence on others is very difficult but by reading this book and it's pointers on different ways to help you get to where you want to be is a really good start!
