All right, welcome. I'm Connor Beaton. And today, we're going to talk about the three things that you can do right now to lead more effectively in your relationship as a man.

Before I dive into the three things that you can tackle and you can start to take action on, I just want to say a few things about leadership.

Number one, the definition of leadership is a process of social influence,

of influencing one person or a group of people towards a common goal or a task or vision.

So leadership is really about direction in a lot of ways. It's about influence in a lot of ways, healthy influence, right?

Not the sort of negative influence or the negative connotation that the word influence has come

We are all influenced by thoughts, by news, by the people that we love

and care about. We are all influenced daily, hourly, by the people that we surround ourselves

with. So for you as a man within your relationship, the influence that you have is incredibly

important. Now, for most men, they're not aware of the influence that they have is incredibly important. Now, for most men, they're not aware of the

influence that they have in their relationship over their partner, much like they might want

to ignore or reject the influence that their partner has over them. What I really wanted to

drive home here before we dive into the three points is that leadership

for you, leadership in a relationship is about direction.

It's about taking ownership over your actions, your decisions, your choices, and where

those actions, decisions, and choices are leading you, are leading the relationship and are

leading your partner, emotionally, sexually, and are leading your partner,

emotionally, sexually, financially, spiritually, in all avenues and areas of the relational dynamic.

So with that said, let's dive into the three points. Rule number one is how are you leading

yourself first? So your relationship is going to be a mirror in some

ways of your leadership. But the most important aspect is how are you leading yourself in your life?
