“When you’re in your power, you make an impact not by reacting to the behavior of people who are limited, but rather by raising yourself and others to be limitless.” Sharon Melnick, PhD
You are reading this because you want something more in your life, leadership, career, or business and you want it now.?
You don’t want to take the slow lane; you want to accelerate forward. You are ambitious and you want success more consistently.
The keys to success are managing your energy or the personal power that fuels your abilities to have clarity, confidence, courage, creativity, and the ability to lead and manage change.
If you want success more consistently which will accelerate you toward your goals, you want to learn how to move into your personal power and close any power gaps that leak your self-esteem and confidence.?
To accelerate you and to power up your leadership you will need to know and name your power, as well as to be able to contain your personal power, and not let it leak away or disconnect from it. ??
Listen to the voices of these leaders who have lost their connection to their power.
In these examples, the leaders were not standing in their power or were pulled out of their power by their situation, behaviors, beliefs, emotions, or mindsets.?
When you are pulled out of your power, a situation, another person, or something within yourself, determines how you react, behave, or how you feel about yourself.?
You are pulled out of our power when you feel less like the cause in the situation and more like the casualty of the situation.??
To determine if you are being pulled out of your power, ask yourself these questions:
If the answer is ‘yes,’ you are being pulled out of your power zone.?
You are in your power zone when you are conscious of your state of mind, feel in control of your perceptions and responses, and you are anchored in your power to create a win-win situation with your behaviours.?
Don’t worry if you answered ‘yes,’ because you can leave behind the patterns, habits, triggers that no longer serve you and step into the highest version of yourself to recover what you were born with—that personal power that enables you to be resilient, capable, and possess limitless potential.?
What is personal power?
Power is the ability to inspire and influence change. Being in your power or powering up your leadership means that you control your mental, emotional, and physical states.?When you are in your power, you are making choices, moment to moment to be a force of good in your life. From coaching and developing thousands of leaders, I have observed that what unlocks personal and business outcomes is the knowledge of how to move into and stay in your personal power.?Your personal power is the ability to positively impact your life and the lives of others around you.
You can reframe your relationship to your personal power and learn to unlock and contain your personal power as a force for good.?Power is the ability to inspire and influence change.

When you are in your power, you are connected to your vision and purpose, confidence, effectiveness, resilience, mental wellbeing, and impact.?Being in your zone of power helps you see, cope, and change the injustices that continue to exist and act as an agent of change.
What do you look like and feel like when you are in your power? You are:
·??????Calm, clear headed, and focused. You are awake to your mental wellbeing and resilience.

?·??????Confident and an active problem-solver.?You know that you can handle anything that comes your way, and you are not letting your fear hold you back.
?·??????Courageous, get results, and make a difference for yourself and others.?You back yourself and your decision-making abilities, often advocating for yourself and the needs of others.
?·??????Creative—innovating and imagining the possibilities of a better future.?You change what is broken, inefficient, or unjust.
?·??????Celebrate the transformation, evolution, and impact.??You advance yourself and others by reflecting, reframing, revisioning, and leveraging your results.?You know how you are unique and different, and you know the difference that you make in the world.?You know that you are a power for good.
Many of us were not raised to celebrate ourselves, to be responsible for our own evolution or impact but we can learn the self-mastery that comes with emotional intelligence, and we can awaken to our personal power and use our personal power for good. ?Kemi Nekvapil, in her book, Power: A woman’s guide to living and leading without apology, describes her process of redefining personal power and the need for women to give themselves permission to use their power.?
Female leaders are reclaiming their relationship with their personal power. Forward-focused organizations aiming to advance and accelerate women in the workplace are developing leaders to be more conscious, authentic leaders that activate their personal power for good. ?The word ‘power’ is often associated with manipulation, selfishness, and abuse.?When we unpack the term, we see that Latin root of the word ‘power’ means ‘to be able.’?
Our negative perceptions about power come from traditional forms of leadership that are being challenged and replaced with the art of modern leadership in which the role of the leader is one of change agent, entrepreneur, and innovator requiring the leadership qualities of clarity, confidence, courage, creativity, and the ability measure and celebrate change.?
To possess and leverage these essential ingredients within yourself will require you to have self-awareness, to reset your brain, and to consciously raise your energy and the personal power to lead, create change, and to lift everyone around you. Think of personal power and clarity, confidence, courage, creativity, and celebrating change as the yeast in recipe of leadership.
