Stacey Hanke - Influence Redefined: Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be, Monday to Monday

PRAISE FOR INFLUENCE REDEFINED

Stacey Hankes thought-provoking book is changing the way people think about influence. Influence Redefined reveals the truth about influencethat it is not an innate talent but rather a learned skill and that leaders are influential by design rather than by accident. Clearly, influence is changing, and we as leaders need to change as well.

I continue to be awed and inspired by Stacey Hanke and her ability to deliver clear, concise, easy-to-activate guidance to people every day. What makes her stand out is her honest, real, and authentic approach. She truly walks it, talks it, breathes it, owns it. Many people claim to be the expert... Stacey just is.

In Influence Redefined, Stacey Hanke masterfully shows how effective communication is not only a lost art, but also the true secret to influencing others. Her message is critical for those looking to develop their skills as a leader, presenter, or sales professional.

PHILIP L. HILDEBRANDT, CFA, Chief Executive Officer, Segall Bryant & Hamill

Influence Redefined will be a wake-up call for many leaders. It definitely hit a nerve with me. Dare I say it is a scary read because it acts as a mirror into what you are doing right and what needs to be improved in real time. Keep this book within arms reach at all times, refer to it often, and it will become your lighthouse for true leadership.

MARK LEBLANC, Author of Never Be the Same and Growing Your Business

Stacey Hanke has a deep understanding of what it takes to be distinctively influential in the modern-day workplace. Relevant and tangible, the methods she shares in Influence Redefined will help you examine your ability to communicate and ultimately improve the impact you have on your organization.

TIM LAWRENCE, Global Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and global animal-health manufacturer

Stacey Hanke makes it refreshingly clear that influence isnt something that can just be turned on and off, but rather is the outcome of an everyday commitment to communicate with care, passion, authenticity, and thoughtful preparation. Her insights and recommendations ring true. Embracing and acting upon them will put any professional well along the path to living and communicating in a more rewarding, influential manner.

BOB RAIDT, Chief Executive Officer, Arc Worldwide

Influence Redefined addresses a subject that is vitally important but not given nearly enough attentionthe connection between communication and influence. If youre not communicating with influence, people arent listening to you. The cost is huge, both personally and professionally. Leaders who want to elevate their executive presence and enhance their influence will benefit greatly from this book.

TOM BELL, President and CEO, Kansas Hospital Association

From the moment we are born, most of us wonder how we can impact this world. We hope to be inspiring. We hope to leave our permanent mark. The question is, how? The answer, my friends, is through greater influence. In her new book, Influence Redefined, Stacey Hanke tells us everything we need to know to be truly influential. She challenges us to go above and beyond with her step-by-step method and provides fascinating insights into how respected leaders influence others. I encourage you to accept Staceys challenge to become your most influential self.

SIMON T. BAILEY, Hall of Fame speaker and author of Shift Your Brilliance

In a time when executives often think they can flip a switch and turn influence on, Stacey Hankes work is ground breaking. As she brilliantly points out, influence is a day-by-day, minute-by-minute challenge. It is a way to think, to drive action, and to be on a daily basis. It is a way of being that transcends every aspect of a persons life, not just his or her career. Influence Redefined will have a long-lasting impact in tangible and intangible ways and help you get whatever you want more of in your work or life.

STEVE RICHMAN, President, Milwaukee Tool

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Where do I begin? This book has been a work in progress for four years. Those of you who know me understand that immense thought and care is put into every product, service or offering Stacey Hanke, Inc. presents to our clients. This book is no different. There have been ups and downs, questions and doubts, and at times the temptation to throw in the towel and stop writing. What pushed me through the challenges were the incredible people in my life who constantly remind me of my knowledge, determination and the impact I have on our clients.

Thank you to the most important people in my lifemy family! I am blessed every day with their love, support and guidance. I am who I am because of the values my parents taught me and because my parents are amazing role models, showing me what it takes to be successful personally and professionally. I will forever admire you both for your kind hearts, generosity and determination to be happy, all while taking care of others. You have taught me to never give up, to strive for what Im passionate about and to be thankful for what I have. No words can express my love for you and how thankful I am to learn from both of you.
