The YTM Business Connect “WHY” Dinner events were established in 2015 to provide an opportunity for business owners and professionals to step out of their comfort zone, raise their profile, present to an audience and prompt thought on a specific topic. This year the theme is : “WHY : Influence and change matters”
Influence and change can be both unintentional and carefully considered.
By looking back at history, recalling more recent stories we have read about or seen, or thinking about people we know, we can all find many examples of influential people. Some seek to have a strong positive influence by using what they’ve learnt - often the hard way - to uplift others. They are not afraid to step up, stand out, share their knowledge and express potent viewpoints and opinions.
“Positive influencers use their power well and wisely. They understand the widespread influence they have, the power they have to build up and elevate, or tear down. Those who impact the world for the better are careful and judicious with their words, actions and behaviours. They operate with heart …’-
‘When they see something that agitates and disturbs them, they strive to know more, get to the root of the issue, research and understand the contributing factors, and arrive at new solutions. They observe gaps and mistakes in common thinking and behaviour and trust themselves in their belief that it’s time to push the boundaries of what’s accepted. They want to affect because they believe change will bring a better way to live.’. - Kathy Caprino
