Today, we are talking all about how to harness your inner power - what it is, how to tap into it and how it’ll help you gain more confidence no matter what situation you are in. And I mean, really… who doesn’t want more of that, right??!
My all-star special guest today is leadership coach Wendy C. Williams and she’s simplifying how to harness your inner power. She advises businesses all around the world, training leaders to tap into their own source of personal power. Through this practice of understanding that “everything is energy” - her clients have gained confidence, learn how to show up with authenticity and as a result, they build and lead highly productive teams.
Here’s how.
My all-star special guest today is Wendy C. Williams and she’s simplifying how to harness your inner power.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- How she defines what “inner power” is and is NOT - she busts the misconceptions some have about power and goes much deeper than surface levelsome text
- spoiler alert: authentic power is not about dominating others… it’s time to deprogram the patriarchy, friends!
- What she means by “acquiring energy eyes” in order to read the room and also read yourself, energetically and how you show up in a space
- One super simple, practical way you can harness your inner power when you are about to do something big and scary in your work, such as a big pitch meeting or having a tough conversation
- …and ultimately, what the difference is between your ego and your soul and how to communicate between the two for greater alignment and a foundation of inner strength.
This conversation was such a delight! And about halfway into it, she led me through an exercise where I needed to get a bit vulnerable and share a question I’ve had on my heart for a while now to gain deeper clarity in my own work trajectory…
I decided to leave this bit in because well, we’re all human and I hope seeing a little bit behind my “Wizard of Oz” curtain was of value to you, especially if you’re contemplating the same. Friends, we learn together and so, if you’re here now, it means you and I were put together in perfect, Divine timing. So, I hope this episode provides a fresh perspective for you, especially if you’ve been feeling a little stuck lately or have lost your mojo somewhere along the way.
Q: Are you ready to harness your inner power? If yes, this one is for you.
It’s time to #DoTheThing!
