Your Brilliant Difference Podcast with Finka Jerkovic: Personal Branding for Career Advancement
Episode 197: Value-First Centre of Influence Framework: Proven Method to Build Career-Elevating Relationships (Part 4 of Influence Without Authority Series)
27 Mar 2025
To have influence, you need to tap into the influence of others. You need a centre of influence (COI). Influence is built and nurtured; it's not something you're automatically granted. And the process starts with building your influence network, or what I like to call, your centre of influence. To grow in your career and leadership, it's essential to surround yourself with the right people. Knowing and working with the right people can bolster your chances of being hired into a new role, getting promoted, getting invited to important conversations, and expanding your network and reach in your industry. But it starts with giving value. Concluding the Influence Without Authority series, in this episode I dive into: What a circle of influence is. How to identify COIs in your company. How COIs can help you break through the corporate noise. 3 steps to mapping your COIs. The 3 types of influencers that will make up your COI. Methods to add value to your influencers. By the time you're done listening, you'll know exactly who to turn to and build relationships with, and how to shine in your Brilliant Difference, giving value to those who matter most.
