Who are you influencing and why does it matter? | Tonya Williams | TEDxAlabaster
Who's watching you right now and what are they learning from your life?Influence isn't reserved for celebrities or people with millions of followers. The truth is, everyone is an influencer. Every word you speak, every choice you make, and every action you take is shaping someone else's perspective whether it's your children, coworkers, friends, or even strangers.In this powerful TEDxAlabaster talk, Tonya Williams challenges us to rethink influence and recognize the responsibility that comes with it. She reveals how everyday decisions can leave a lasting impact, why intentional living matters more than ever, and how influence can either build up or break down the people around us.If you've ever wondered whether your life truly makes a difference, this talk will show you why the answer is a bold yes.Watch now to discover how to walk in authentic influence and why the way you lead your life matters more than you think.#ImpactAndInfluence #AuthenticLeadership #InfluenceWithIntegrity #ChangeTheWorld #PersonalGrowth #MindShift #EverydayInfluence #LeadWithPurpose Tonya has been a certified life coach for over 7 years. Tonya also received a certification in Pastoral Ministry from Highlands College in 2020. She believes in order to reach people you have to be REAL, Relatable and Non-Judgmental. She thinks it's important to meet people right where they are but her desire is not to leave them the same way she met you!
Tonya has a heart for people to not only know WHO they are but WHOSE they are! Her teaching style is to provide tips and tools to create new routines and habits to help you achieve the life you've always desired and to walk in your God-given purpose!
Tonya provides biblical principles to everyday issues we struggle with that the church won't address. Tonya says “We were created to grow through our experiences and come out better on the other side. God created us in His image so it's time we break free from the bondages that's been keeping us from living the life He desires for us” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
