I have met far too many people who “know” how things are and should be and they have less influence than anyone I have met who is willing to accept that they may be wrong and listen to the alternate view.

The people who influence me the most are those who are authentic, “walk their talk,” and are passionate about what they do.

People influence me with an amalgamation of their actions, written words, spoken words, body language, how they treat others, their associations (people, groups and activities) and how they spend their time. Someone can have an amazing package on the outside, but if they put others down or supersize their importance and impact, I don’t pay them much attention at all.

Mark Twain pointed out that it’s clothes that make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

They have an influence on *me*, though. Thoreau said to “Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes” and I beware also of people engaging in enterprises that require new clothes, as they obviously have shown poor judgment in that matter.

And nekkid wimmen, I’ve found, can be powerfully persuasive.

Crystal, what a great answer! Not one I expected, but I completely understand your point. It is amazing the techniques we moms will employ to get our kids to *want* to do the right things.

Influencers are those who can convince you something that was their idea was actually yours. You know, like when a mom secretly wants to get her kid to play music and the kid ends up playing piano thinking it was his idea, not hers? At least that’s what my mom says…HEY! <–Just kidding…

I look towards spiritual leaders (local and international) as well as those who give back and lead without a title as influencers. Another influencer are friends that I trust and whose opinions I value. .-= Chet Lewis´s last blog ..Jammer “Better Than” remix from Lorn =-.
