Our influence is our greatest responsibility. And our greatest gift.

Smith and Griffin upskill readers with tools to stay humble, lead themselves and the people around them well, and create opportunities to expand their influence in new and exciting ways, including offering wisdom on:
Understanding that each person is important and has a tremendous influence
Looking out for common pitfalls and avoiding the traps you set for yourself
How to remain composed, take the high road, and avoid unnecessary overreactions
Understanding how you learn best so you can work to be your best self
Valuing true diversity and equality and understanding how it influences us all
Through sharing these core principles, readers learn to harness their power to create positive, lasting improvements in the people and environments around them. By helping readers understand the power they have to affect change, Positive Influence offers ideas for how to step into a life filled with prosperity and share that prosperity with everyone they touch.
