Your actions tell the real story.
| | Most people believe influence is earned through what you say. | A powerful pitch. | A strong opinion. | The perfect story. | But the truth is more subtle than that. | Real influence is earned in the moments between your words. | It's in the silence. | The pause after a question. | The way you listen, not just the way you speak. | People feel the difference between someone who's waiting to respond… | and someone who's actually absorbing the conversation. | They notice the timing of your reaction. | The steadiness of your tone. | The way your presence makes them feel either safe… or seen through. | Influence isn't about being convincing. | It's about being anchored. | Because when people feel your attention, | they trust your perspective. | And once trust is earned, | your words carry ten times the weight…even when they're few. | Here's your challenge: | Practice pausing more. | Before answering. | Before interrupting. | Before finishing someone else's sentence. | Let your stillness speak for you. | Let the quality of your attention become your strongest signal. | Because in a world addicted to noise, | the person who can hold space without rushing to fill it… | becomes the one people instinctively turn to when it matters most. | Your influence doesn't live in your words. | It lives in your presence. | To your greatness, | -James Michael Sama | P.S.: If you're looking for a private advisor to help you develop these qualities, let's talk. | |
