Reproducing other influencers, in this sense, means to pass the baton and allow them to run their own race. Hopefully, they will in turn have integrity with people, nurture, have faith, listen, understand, mentor, navigate, connect with, empower, and eventually, reproduce other influencers themselves and pass the baton onto another and to another...and so your influence continues on.

Empowering is giving your influence to others for the purpose of personal and organizational growth. It’s sharing yourself – your influence, position, power, and opportunities – with others with the purpose of investing in their lives so that they can function at their best. It’s seeing people’s potential, sharing your resources with them, and showing them that you believe in them completely.

“When you navigate for others, you come alongside them and travel their road for a while, helping them handle some of the obstacles and difficulties in their lives. But when you connect with them, you are asking them to come alongside you and travel your road for your and their mutual benefit.”

Become a navigator in the lives of others. You will be able to use your influence to help them move up to the next level in their lives, and if you assist them during their darkest hours, you will make friends of them for life...
