All staff within a school building can have a tremendous influence on students and other staff members, alike. Provide a brief example of how you influenced someone or how you won someone over in a professional setting. Be sure to thoughtfully include your strategies for relating to, connecting, and working with other people and how you would go about convincing them of something.

"Absolutely. That's what drew me to the position: I can make lasting impacts by influencing other teachers. I influence others by listening to and empathizing with their concerns and showing that my work is aligned with their interests. It's about finding common ground. In order to be influential and gain people's trust, solid relationship building skills are necessary.
A lot of teachers don't like Instructional Coordinators, so I make sure that I show my face and help them with little things whenever I can. I show that I'm in the field with them and always trying to improve my craft, not hiding behind a desk issuing edicts blindly. I always give before I receive; that's how I win people over."
