Zero real change.In this episode, Matt and Erin from Metanoia Catholic break down how to influence virtuously so you can help others change for the good without controlling, nagging, or manipulating.This is Part 1 of a 2-part series on virtuous influencing – how to make a real impression on others while honoring their freedom and dignity.You’ll learn:👉 The difference between influence and manipulation👉 Why real influence always starts with your interior disposition, not their       behavior👉 How John Paul II’s personalistic norm applies to parenting, marriage,       work, and coaching👉 Why trying to “fix” people usually backfires (and what to do instead)Matt & Erin walk through the first 5 influential dispositions:1. Compassionately Curious – seeking to understand what people truly      want      and value instead of assuming you “know what they need.”2. Benevolently Boundaried – setting and keeping loving boundaries that      actually teach people how to be in healthy relationship with you.3.  Fearlessly Free – maximizing the other person’s freedom, even when      you’re afraid they might not choose well.4.  Confidently Candid – clearly naming the real consequences of actions       (without shaming or drama).5.  Impartially Inviting – inviting people into growth and a common good,      while staying detached from whether they say yes or no.Whether you’re a: • Catholic parent who wants to guide your teens without constant power    struggles • Spouse who wants deeper change without nagging • Leader or ministry worker who wants to call people higher • Catholic coach who wants to ethically influence clients…this episode will give you a clear, practical vision of what virtuous influence looks like day-to-day.🟣 This is Part 1 – in the next episode, Matt & Erin cover the remaining 5 influential dispositions so you can grow into a truly impactful, virtuous leader in your home, work, and parish.Send us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Discover How God Is Speaking to You In Prayer► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.
