Do you ever feel like you were “thrown” into a leadership position you’re not ready to handle? That’s why you don’t feel confident in managing your people and you feel like you’re not ‘worth it’?
Or maybe you feel like you’re ready and you know you’re going to be a great leader… but your boss and colleagues just don’t see your potential?
Maybe you want to speak out and share your ideas but you’re afraid that people won’t listen to you?
If so, read this entire letter. This might be the most important letter you’re going to read this year about leadership.
Everyone has the potential to become a great leader. But if you want to be great, it all boils down to your ability to influence others. When you influence others, they are more likely to collaborate and move forward to a single goal.
However, not all leaders know how to do this. Most of the time, they resort to fear and abusing their authority just to get what they want. They force people to follow them. But as you and I already know, that kind of leadership doesn’t last.
But Why Do Leaders Keep Using 'Force' and 'Authority'?
Everyone has the potential to become a great leader. But most leaders resort to abuse their authority because of one thing:
They don’t believe in themselves.
They don’t feel confident. They don’t feel like they’re competent enough, or ready enough, or influential enough.
And in my experience helping leaders improve their image and their self-confidence, that’s the biggest hindrance to their growth.
Because of this:
- They always have self-doubt especially when speaking in front of people. They can’t express their ideas well because they’re too nervous to think…
- They always compromise because they’re too afraid to fail and be judged by other people…
- They feel bored, unhappy, and unfulfilled about what they do.
Add to that the pressure and responsibility in handling people. It’s really hard to be a leader.
Here’s a fact: it’s not your fault. It’s not like you can enroll in a college and take a course on leadership. And if ever there is one, what you’re going to learn are leadership theories that don’t really work in real life.
But every great master was once a disaster. And every great leader started by making mistakes. In fact…

I Was In A Worse Place Than You Are Right Now
By now you know my story and what I’ve gone through. You know that I was the worst leader and that people only listen to me because they’re scared to lose their jobs.
I was angry at my parents, that’s why I worked hard to not be like them. I was angry at my dad because he hurt us. And I was angry at my mom because I saw her as weak.
In fact, I wasn’t a good example to my kids. I had adulterous relationships with other men and I used other people to get what I want.
There were even times when I “buy” my way into positions in different organizations. Since they come to me for help, I exploit those times just to get a position and boost my ego.
But all of that changed once I felt the power of God working in me. My relationship with my family changed, my relationship with my dad healed.
And best of all, people follow me because they want to. Now, I get awarded and voted for high positions inside the organizations I join.
Over the years as I reflect on how God changed me, I realized how far I am right now compared to who I was before. I’ve become the extraordinary influential leader that I once dreamed of becoming.
And if I can do it, I believe that you can, too. And it’s because…
You Have The Potential To Be An Extraordinary Influential Leader Too
Whether you’re a(n):
- An aspiring leader who wants to be promoted…
- Supervisor leading a small team…
- Manager leading a department…
- CEO leading a company…
- A Small Business Owner who has a few employees… or even
- A father or a mother leading your kids
You can be a great leader. All that’s missing are the tools, strategies, and approaches that allow you to master and apply the subtle art of influence.
Even if you don’t have a title or any authority, this can still apply to you.
Imagine – you were assigned to present your ideas to the board. Yet instead of feeling nervous, you actually feel excited about it! You’re thrilled about the idea of standing there and seeing them nod their heads.
You have the right tools to influence them to agree with you. You know how to influence them and get their “buy-in.”
Imagine having a meeting with your team and assigning them tasks and responsibilities. And instead of the usual complaints, they willingly accept the assignment with a smile on their faces.
Or maybe you have a big project but you fell short of the expectations. But instead of getting criticized and judged… you actually felt the support and care of the people around you.
This is my goal for you. That’s why I designed a program with those specific goals in mind.
