Women and power: how to act powerfully
Power is the means by which you get things done. Find out how to use it in your own life.
Look at your friends and colleagues. You can always tell who has power. The person who uses her power wisely gives off the feeling of belonging in a meeting. Whatever she does, she catches your eye. She holds it. She is always a bit different. If everyone is cultivating others, she holds back. If everyone is in a blue business suit, she is wearing something a bit more outrageous. Her stance is difference, and her comfort with it is profound. A powerful woman does not complain, or slump, or cry that she’s exhausted. She keeps her feelings to herself except when the use of those feelings is to her benefit. She is not casual about herself.
