Don’t be afraid to use your power

Realizing that you have real influence and power can be a scary thing.If you have any sense of responsibility and ethics, you probably have mixed emotions about power. This counts twice for women, because we have been indoctrinated over centuries to believe that our...

I want to see you in your power

Power is not a dirty word. Each of us has natural strengths. And in their unique and individual combination, they build the core of your personal power. Power as in “power within”. When you are in your power, you act naturally. Energy flows, sparks are flying, and you...

Keep asking questions

As a blond woman with a friendly attitude and open personality, I am often underestimated.  This happens especially in workshop situations, when I ask a lot of questions like “did I understand you correctly…?”, or “so you are saying x is like this…?” as part...

Lead from Within

Leadership is not a matter of rank and title. Way too many managers believe that the fact that they are Head of XYZ makes them a leader. And way too many leaders believe that they do not have authority because they don’t have rank or title. Leadership, you see, is...
