Guarding the Gates of Influence

Not every opinion deserves your energy. Not every voice gets a vote. Yet many expert nurses and healthcare professionals find themselves:

• Distracted by workplace gossip or toxic team dynamics

• Shaken by one piece of negative feedback

• Doubting themselves because of someone else's outdated mindset

Influence is real. But you get to choose who has it.

Who Is in Your Inner Circle?

Just like a healthy diet, your influence circle should:

• Fuel your goals (not drain them)

• Challenge your thinking (but never your worth)

• Support your growth (not stunt it)

Think of your influence circle in 3 layers:

1. Core Circle — Mentors, friends, coaches, peers who lift you higher, some family

2. Professional Network — Colleagues, LinkedIn voices, leaders you respect

3. Peripheral Inputs — Social media, acquaintances, critics you never invited

The closer to your 💟heart or 🧠head—the higher the standard should be.

Poll 1: Who Influences Your Confidence

What the Research Says

Modern behavioral psychology and career science confirms:

• Mentorship increases confidence, adaptability, and career satisfaction.¹

• Toxic environments lead to decreased cognitive performance and burnout.²

• Social comparison increases imposter syndrome in high-achieving professionals.³

Choosing your inputs means protecting your potential.
