THE CHARACTER INSTITUTE PRESENTS

EARNED INFLUENCE™ - LIFE

Foundations for Emerging Leaders

BECOME SOMEONE WORTH FOLLOWING

Build the confidence, character, and self-trust to become more fully who you are—and positively influence the world around you.

You do not need a title.

You do not need a title.
You do not need to have everything figured out.
You do not need to become someone else.

Leadership starts with who you are becoming.

INFLUENCE IS BUILT FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

THEN WE ASK YOU TO LEAVE.

Seriously.

High performers understand that stepping away is sometimes part of doing the work.

During The Wild Reset, you'll leave the screen, get outside, clear some noise, and answer one deceptively simple question:

Who am I when the noise gets quiet?

No video.

No scrolling.

No pretending to reflect while checking TikTok.

FIELDWORK

ONE INTENTION. ONE MOMENT. ONE STEP.

You do not build confidence by understanding it.

You build it by practicing.

Choose one way you want to show up differently—something small, real, and intentional—and put it into the world.

Maybe you speak up.

Maybe you listen differently.

Maybe you follow through.

Maybe you create something.

Maybe you take a step you have been waiting to feel ready for.

Then pay attention to what happens.

No performance. No perfect outcome. Just one honest step.

The Summit Gathering

Real conversation. With a real person.

Your final step isn’t another lesson.

Join us for a live Summit Gathering to talk about what you discovered,

what you tried, what challenged you, and what you want to carry forward.

Come with a question.
Come with something you are still figuring out.
Or simply come ready to listen.

Sometimes the most useful thing is not another answer.

It is having a place to think out loud with people who are asking some of the same questions.

No performance. No pressure. Just conversation..

WHAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED

His passion for helping others discover who they truly are is something I have witnessed firsthand. He has been a mentor and source of guidance for me, helping me grow in all aspects of my life. His ability to ask the right questions, challenge your perspective, and encourage you to look deeper within yourself has had a lasting impact on the person I am today.

Chris has inspired me to express the skills and qualities that I bring to my own life. I am confident that Chris is the best person someone can have when it comes to being the best version of your self and dealing with life, and I have myself and who I am as a person to back that up.

BUILT BY THE CHARACTER INSTITUTE

The Character Institute creates leadership and character experiences designed to help young people better understand who they are, how they show up, and the impact they have on others.

Earned Influence™ was built from years of conversations with athletes about one deceptively simple question:

What makes someone a leader?
