Where do you get your power from?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Just stop and think for a moment… are you a really powerful person? Or are you a forceful person? Which do you believe is better? Many times, when I listen to clients responses about whether they see themselves as powerful or forceful, It seems that there is a deep fear of being powerless and a need to be more powerful.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">So I thought we could explore the dynamics of power for the edification and growth of you wonderful women, because perception of your power plays a very <span style="color:black">potent role in your actions and shaping your relationships, health, your life and the impact you bring to humanity</span>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: none"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">There are two kinds of power; internal power and external power. External power supports the capacity for action, whereas internal power supports the activity of reflection. <br> <br> And so real personal power results from a journey or adventure through the different levels from external sources represented by organizational and political position, expertise, titles, degrees, control, materials goods, responsibility and ability, whilst ‘inner power’ is power developed from introspection, personal struggles and gradual evaluation of your life purpose, from accepting and valuing one’s self and finally from connecting authentically to that Higher Source.</span></p> <h3 style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: normal">Another aspect of power is…</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: normal">The capacity to ensure the outcomes we want and prevent those we don’t want. See comment at the end pertaining to “wants”</span></h3> <h3 style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-weight: normal">Based upon the amazing work of<span style="color:black"> Janet Olson Hagberg (<i>Real Power),</i></span> the first 3 levels of the personal power leadership journey cover EXTERNAL power (the capacity to act). It is typically characterized by confidence, competence, expertise, work titles, level of success, educational degrees, stature and status, money, self-esteem and recognition. At these levels people are typically fear-motivated, very focused and active in:</span></h3> <ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Marshalling resources </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Meeting their / organisational goals </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Managing people </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Making things happen for others</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Achieving cultural success </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Focus on survival / Making a living </span></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial">The power levels, 4 to 6, are focused on INTERNAL Power (the capacity to reflect) – These people explore their inner landscapes and inner passions, they are a model of integrity, they have long lasting effects and impact, their work is meaningful and they find meaning in life. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: none"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">People can be on different levels of power at different times in their lives, and with different people or organisations. However, each of us has a ‘home’ level that represents our typical perception of personal power. People do not proceed to new levels simply with age or experience, although these can be factors in the transformation process.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><br> <font color="#0000FF">Level 1 – Powerless</font></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Starting off from external power we begin from the basic perception of level of powerless or fear of fear. These people might feel manipulated, trapped or helpless and even sometimes hopeless. This hopelessness is also related to a low AQ or low resilience state. This level 1 perception </span> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial"> deals with setbacks by complaining or blaming – abdicating any responsibility.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">People, who <b>fee</b>l powerless, may not <b>be</b> powerless. It’s just a figment of their imagination and belief systems. They typically have low self-esteem that expresses itself sometimes as aggression or fear. Many times I see them living in fear of a higher power based on their perception of a vengeful, angry, wrathful God (or Boss or partner) who can smite them at any moment.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Fear is the emotion and belief that holds this person back the most. And some of the best ways to begin to move out of this state are to build self–esteem, get positive support, develop new skills, confront your fears, take responsibility, get out of abusive relationships, get a coach, appreciate and support yourself, confront yourself and your shadows and make a new, irrevocable, positive stand for yourself being valuable, worthy and worthwhile.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <font color="#FF0000"><b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Your challenge from me</span></b></font><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"> – look into your eyes in a mirror for 10 minutes – who do you see? What is their core fear?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><br> <font color="#0000FF">Level 2 – Power by association with…</font></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">At this level you gain your power from <span style="color:black">others who already have perceived power, or from learning more. Usually this level of perception regarding your power is still impacted by your perceived confidence and competence level, as well as still having a need for definite security by associating with the “right” people.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial">In the workplace this level person is eager to follow others, looking to connect with others, and actively learning the ropes and seeking approval or inclusion. They typically deal with setbacks by colluding or leaning on peer groups for a solution. Fear of not being good enough often prevails here.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial;color:black">The best way to move forward here is to build confidence and self-worth, and begin to become more self-aware around being risk averse. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial;color:black">By beginning to take some small, intelligent, “risks” you can continue your journey towards freedom and real power. Once again getting yourself a mentor or coach at this level would assist you in becoming more competent, exploring new solutions, building social networks, getting honest constructive feedback, taking better care of yourself, and standing up a lot more for your self worth and value.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <font color="#FF0000"><b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">Your challenge from me</span></b></font><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"> – Take some small risks – stretch your comfort zone out beyond its normal range.

Many times the apparent power at this level is based upon the egotistical and sexy belief that knowing, having and doing more, is the powerbase source.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial;color:black">These people are eager to lead, know the ropes, g</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black">et things done “right” and can be compelling and persuasive.

A person at this level is confident, competent, emotionally and egotistically strong, reflective, comfortable with who they are, their personal style, and skilled at mentoring or coaching others. They are viewed as strong individuals having the ability to expose their true feelings or beliefs no matter with whom they relate. <br> People at this level of personal power are beginning to integrate and </span> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial"> align their inner & outer worlds.

They have the ability to reflect on past experience and lessons learnt. This is the beginning of turning knowledge into wisdom….of turning fear into love. Of turning making a living to living a life. This is the beginning of human alchemy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: none"> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">People respect level 4’s advice, approach them for counsel and ask for their recommendations.

They also have the opportunity to confront their fears, forgive others and themselves. Their most powerful step is to turn ME into WE.

The distinctiveness and power differential lies in the inner strength of the person, in a direct relation to the perceived power or control of the organizational or social system being compared. So If you feel internally more powerful that your Chairman, he really has no power or hold over you.
