Have you lost power?

Note:  If you’ve lost power, or never had any to begin with, how can you possibly make a difference?  Why bother dreaming?   Or trying to make a goal?  Or even setting one?  Some one or something will keep you from it anyway.  Might as well forget about trying to make a difference in someone else’s life – much less your own.

PLEASE don’t listen to ANY of nonsense above!!!  You have plenty of power.    It might not be obvious.  You may have to hunt around a bit.   But it’s there somewhere.  I hope this article will help you with search and discovery so that you find your power.   And if you are a manager,  I hope it will help you help others find theirs.  A must for morale & productivity – yours and theirs.
