As a relatively new founder, I was being pulled in many different directions. After meeting with Amina, we mapped out a plan to hone in on my talents, which we found out were much more focused on managing people and relationships. I now focus the majority of my time on our strategic partnerships and our donors. Not only has our annual revenue increased, but our board, staff and volunteers are happier and feel a greater sense of purpose within the organization. I highly recommend Influence to anyone anywhere who would like to be more effective. The discoveries can be life-changing.
