For the last 7,000 years, power has been reserved for men. And though cultural norms are changing, many women continue to resist power, viewing it as an ugly or destructive force. How can we better understand our personal power paradigm? How can we step into our power without allowing it to corrupt our character? How can we learn to embrace power and feel safe doing so?
Today, Sylvia is helping us explore our personal power paradigm. She explains how a paradigm is influenced both by culture as well as our past experiences, walking us through a series of questions to explore how we perceived power as children and fully understand our initial positive or negative feelings toward it.
Sylvia then guides us through an assessment of how we experience power now, challenging us to compare our current understanding of power with that of early childhood. She addresses why many women continue to resist power and shares a practical exercise for feeling safe as we step into our power. Listen in for the neuroscientific research around power and empathy and learn how we can grow in our power—without losing compassion for others!
