Personal Impact
When it comes to individuals making an impact, personal impact, we think in terms of leaving something behind that wasn’t there before.
Personal Impact happens when something or someone comes into contact with something or someone else.
It doesn’t have to be a big loud crash – an impact can be made quite softly and quietly and still be mighty effective.
What counts is how appropriate it is to the situation.
Making an Impact
Personal Impact: What It Is and Why It Matters
Personal impact affects all aspects of our lives, from our interpersonal relationships to our professional careers.
It can be both intentional and unintentional, but regardless of its origin, it is important to be aware of the impact we have on others.
Why does the impact we have on others matter so much?
Simply put, understanding your personal impact helps you understand your role in the world and how you can make a positive difference. By being mindful of our actions and behaviors, we can create meaningful change in the world around us.
When it comes to individuals making an impact, we think in terms of leaving something behind that wasn’t there before.
You might think of this more as personal branding.
Personal Impact is changing someone else’s view, stimulating them.
It is challenging or provoking them, inspiring or motivating them.
Making a Meaningful Contribution
In the end, it’s about leaving a lasting legacy and making a meaningful contribution to the world around us. When we are aware of how our actions affect others, we can make deliberate choices that positively impact those around us.
For example, if you are passionate about the environment, you may decide to reduce your carbon footprint by using public transport. You could choose to walk or cycle instead of using the car.
These simple personal choices not only contribute to a healthier planet but can also inspire others to take similar actions.
Choosing Your Impact
Someone speaking to huge numbers of people who need to be motivated and inspired may need to use loads of energy and enthusiasm to get the message across.
That same message given in a one-to-one situation may need to be delivered in a more measured, calmer style so the other person doesn’t feel overwhelmed.
In both cases, the ‘speaker’ is making a personal impact but is choosing the impact that’s relevant to each occasion.
