Why don’t they change or take your advice? It’s frustrating, especially when the answer seems so obvious to you.

But you’re not here to change people.
You’re here to move them.

Influence starts with understanding what matters to the other person.
What do they value?
What status are they protecting?
What beliefs have shaped them?

Drawing from the acting world, where moving others begins with intention, connection, and presence, the M.O.V.E. model gives leaders a practical way to uncover motivation and adapt their approach:

Mindset. Observe. Validate. Exchange.
