Qualities of Key Influencers
Kurt has a great post about some of the characteristics of influencers in his life. I really dug the 4 abilities he talks about as people who shape him – here’s 2 of them, head there for the rest:
The Ability To “Stop Time”. I have a friend who is extremely busy and everybody knows it. Yet when he stops to talk to you, even in a spontaneous hallway encounter, it’s as if time stops and you become the sole focus of his attention. There aren’t many things that make me feel better than when somebody who is obviously super busy can hit the pause button and make it seem as if they have nothing better to do than talk to me.
The Ability To Prop Up. One of my lifelong friends is the master of encouragement. I honestly can’t remember ever spending time with him, whether it was 5 minutes or 5 hours, without walking away at the end of our time together feeling better about myself.
