One of the topics explored in this episode was the concept of “Personal Power” – which is the unique combination of strengths, attributes, experiences, passions and purpose you possess. Here are some questions you can ask yourself in order to gain clarity on yours:
- What are your greatest strengths — both innate and learned?
- What do people come to you for the most?
- What do people thank you for the most?
- What activities energizes you?
- What impact do you want to make through your leadership?
- What experiences have shaped who you are?
The combination of these answers will reveal your personal power — it is like your fingerprint in how you show up!
QUOTABLES:
“For leaders, it [presence] is about your ability to inspire confidence and action in others. “
“As human beings, what we perceive is what we believe.”
“If you are intentional, purposeful and present, your presence can help you make the impact and legacy that you desire.”
“Presence is credibility, plus ease, divided by ego.”
