    Leadership is Influence

    Amy Poepping challenges misconceptions and limiting beliefs about leadership by defining it simply as influence, not a title, and explains that everyone influences others daily in relationships, parenting, friendships, and work. Speaking especially to moms, she describes how mothers lead by influencing children to make good choices, develop morals, learn from mistakes with grace and forgiveness, and grow into who God created them to be, while avoiding micromanagement. She notes that influence can be positive or negative, so even harmful influence is still leadership. Amy shares a sixth-grade student council experience that planted self-doubt about her leadership, and how personal growth helped her reclaim confidence in her God-given gift to lead. She previews a future episode on leadership in business and encourages listeners to thank someone who has been a positive leader in their lives. 00:00 Welcome and Purpose 00:41 Leadership Means Influence 01:31 Where You Lead Daily 03:47 Influence Without a Title 05:53 Motherhood as Leadership 08:08 Lead Without Micromanaging 09:46 Titles Don’t Make Leaders 11:11 Sixth Grade Limiting Belief 14:09 Spot Your Influence Today 16:08 Wrap Up
