In this episode, I talk with Dr. Michael Zigarelli, professor of leadership and strategy at Messiah College and the author of 12 books. We discuss the power of influence, what great leaders do differently, and the three types of evidence needed for persuasion. If you are in a season of rediscovering your vision, feeling stuck or navigating the ambiguity that comes with any form of leadership, Dr. Zigarelli shares an exercise that will help you recalibrate the momentum you’re lacking. You don’t need to have a fancy title or hold a certain kind of power to define yourself as a leader, we all have influence over the people in our lives and this conversation will help you tap into that. 

Memorable quote: “At the root of it is what is inside of us, because we can engage in all kinds of external behaviors and if it’s not real or not authentic, people are going to see through it eventually.” (18:54 )
