A New Years Revolution - from Connector to becoming a “Centre of Influence”

Whose open to join me in making 2026 - A New Year’s Revolution: From Connection to Influence?

The transformation - to become a Centre of Influence in your domain — in business and/or in life 

Penny Power OBE has written a brilliant article on the #power of #transformation - and what is needed to transform. 

This is the nub of it :- 

We cannot think our way into #transformation.

We must live ourselves into it — often failing, getting back up, and weeping our way through it….. until #flow comes ….. Penny Power OBE 

Real growth doesn’t come from strategies alone. 

  • It comes from #courage. (Martin Stark ) 
  • It comes from taking —#action . Mark Champley CF 
  • It comes from entering into the unknown - knowing that your #team has your back ! So you can release old identities.
  • It comes from choosing movement over comfort.
  • It comes from #trust and believing that #flow will eventually come 

Transformation asks these questions

  • ❓Where is the pain really coming from?
  • ❓What am I afraid to let go of — or finally step into?
  • ❓What version of me is trying to emerge?


Thinking isn’t enough. Action is what shifts us.

  • - One brave conversation at a time 
  • - One new boundary.
  • - One warm introduction 
  • - One decision that honours who you are becoming.

If 2026 is your year to become a Centre of Influence — in business or in life ?

it starts on the inside first and for it to flow - it needs to gel with your core values? 

At #Referron, we believe influence is built through the 5Cs: Connection, Collaboration, Contribution, Continuity and Community.

Transformation inside. 

Impact outside.

And as Penny Power OBE says in her article - if you find yourself weeping your way into your next chapter, remember:

You’re not alone. 

And you’re not standing still.
