Here's a new little Infogram I have developed for a client as part of thier customer service and influencing skills workshop! Feel free to use and abuse if of any benefit to you! 🙂

1) Identify your target audience because if you don't, how can you...
2) Understand their world, what is important to them and what their needs are
3) Engage in 2-way Effective Commuincation with them in order to...
4) Make connections and build trust based relationships with honesty, authenticity and empathy, so that you can...
5) Show them a way to a genuine win-win outcome for all involved!
There you go, simple but effective.
Hope this helps but shout if you need more support or guidance on any of those 5 steps!

This post is a fantastic breakdown of how influencing skills can be applied with intention and empathy—especially in customer service and business influencing contexts. The 5-step framework is refreshingly practical and aligns perfectly with what we emphasize at Lantern Development: building trust through authentic communication. Whether you're leading a team, managing clients, or navigating internal dynamics, these steps offer a clear path to creating meaningful, win-win outcomes.
