S2E21 | When Influence Becomes Manipulation

On episode 3 of the Ideal Woman podcast I introduced the concept of redefining the IDEAL Woman, and how this has allowed me to walk into my next season of womanhood as a whole new person.

Today I want to talk about the IDEAL Woman Identity but first

Introduction:

My name is Natasha Solomon, and I am on a mission to #elevate #womanhood for greater impact. To provoke thought and encourage dialogue, but more importantly to inspire positive change.

I’m also a transformation coach, speaker, and consultant on womanhood, life, and leadership where I help women to successfully reach their goals without compromising their values and their integrity by activating their IDEAL Woman Identity. You can learn more by visiting my website at natashasolomon.com/idealroadmap and grab a copy of the IDEAL Woman Identity Roadmap to start your own transformative journey to becoming the ideal version of yourself.

Now let’s get into today’s topic…

Being a woman of influence is the first and most important identifier of the IDEAL woman, and what that means is that she has the power to influence anyone she comes in contact with.

Now that is an incredibly powerful trait to possess, and one that in the hands of a misguided woman can turn into manipulation. Now if you’ve been listening to me for some time, you know that I love to clearly define and teach so let’s define influence and manipulation.

Influence: is having maximum capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone.

Manipulation: is an attempt to sway someone’s emotions to get them to think or feel a certain way about a particular thing, oftentimes using mental and emotional triggers, more often than not to the person’s detriment and to the manipulator’s benefit.

The danger is when both of these things exist in the same place, because sometimes we don’t realize we’re being manipulated if the influence is coming from someone we know, like, love and trust.
