Where’s Your Influence?

“Give me a lever and a fulcrum, and I can move the world.”

Paul gave a great example of leadership and influence with the help of a seesaw on stage at Crosstowne this past Sunday.

He showed that the fulcrum, the center point of the seesaw on which the lever balances, determines how much influence we have on the person opposite us.

By keeping the fulcrum close to us, we elevate only ourselves and prevent those around us from being lifted up by our influence. But by making it “not about us” — moving the fulcrum away from us, we lift up the other person.

That’s what leadership is all about, isn’t it?

Are you willing to “get up off of your fulcrum” to begin being a real positive influence in someone else’s life?
