Excerpt
From The Book
Power is
Feminine
“The
dilemma of negative connotations of power creates a double
bind for many women. Even though women may yield power
effectively, women are not comfortable with power. This
creates an internal conflict which can limit your
effectiveness. Limitations in life are something to be
removed. Thus , you not only engage in powerful
behaviors, you must be able to have internal comfort with the
use of power.
Comfort with power begins with
understanding the power you use daily. When you
establish goals for your family, for yourself, or for you
business, you are exercising power. Managing daily
activities, activating decision-making, developing plans—all
are exercises of power. When you conduct discussions
with an employee or a colleague and brainstorm more effective
ways of approaching a problem, you are being powerful.
When men and women are in loving relationships with mutual
reciprocity, they are expressing their personal power to each
other. Power is integral to every moment of every day,
and is to be treasured, not avoided. Power enhances
femininity as a nurturing force creating internal strength and
calm, and propels you toward effective living.”
