Explore the nuanced dynamics of power across professional and personal realms in this experiential workshop. Examining the dimensions of positional and personal power, derived from job titles and individual influence, we unravel the pervasive impact of power on our lives. Recognizing personal power as an inherent aspect of our existence, the course navigates its pivotal role in shaping our ability to navigate the world and achieve our goals. With a spotlight on the transformative potential of personal power, the program emphasizes self-regulation, nurturing a positive worldview, and leading by example as catalysts for positive change.
About the Course
Overview
Both inside and outside of the workplace, we all have different types of power at our disposal. Some of it is positional (through job titles and professional roles), and some of it is personal (the ability to influence people and events with or without formal authority). Whether we realize it or not, we are all impacted by power in a variety of ways, and we were all born with personal power. As human beings, we need power to navigate through the world and to get what we want and need. People with personal power affect change around them by regulating themselves, fostering a positive worldview, and leading by example.
This course focuses on increasing your personal power. Topics include, but are not limited to, types of power, concepts of power, sources of power, currencies of power, and using power effectively. Participants will engage in a variety of instructor-led discussions, small group exercises, self-evaluations, reflections, action planning, and more.

- Distinguish between personal and positional power
