The power of influence

Bottino discusses the power of influence. Safety professionals can use their influence at every level of an organization. When used effectively, it can be a powerful tool. Being personable is one way Laynnea Myles, assistant vice president of environment, health and safety at L'Oreal, works to build positive relationships and influence. Becoming an influential safety pro also involves good listening skills. With so many avenues available from which workers can learn, the extent to which you can grow your reach and influence to larger audiences can be as unique as the various industries themselves. For instance, Lawe has more than 200 subscribers to a safety and health email he sends three times a week. Other formats include podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media accounts and platforms.
