Empower – Honor - Respect - Love YOURSELF By Sue Waldman, MA, LPC, BCC
Personal Power is the key to success
as a Coach. To claim to own your personal power is to believe in yourself. The more you practice what you preach, the more
successful you will be. The only person who can diminish your personal power is yourself. No one can take your power away from you. But you can give it away - by not honoring your intu- ition and self. When you get clear about what you want and need, and become courageous to ask for it, you will prevent wasting your time and energy and increase your capacity to accomplish more and feel powerful. Here are 4 personal power techniques to success and believing in yourself.
1. Empower yourself 2. Honor yourself 3. Respect yourself 4. Love yourself
4 Personal Power techniques to Success: 1. Ask for what you want
...Be direct, powerful and clear. Don’t dilute your requests
in a way that conveys that you know your worth. Be specific about what you want and when you want it. Think about what your ideal outcome would be and then confidently, courageous- ly, ask for it. Letting others know what you expect from them as well as what you will (and will not) tolerate is crucial to both your professional success as a Coach and personal well being. So ask yourself, what are you no longer willing to tolerate? Therein lies the boundary that you must establish and the requests you must make. Ask for what you want and you will believe in yourself.
2. Speak the Truth ...When a person lies, a part of that person dies.When you
do not tell the truth about your thoughts, feelings, and actions, you are telling yourself that you are not worthy of the truth about your thoughts, feelings and actions - you are telling yourself that you are less than the other person.When you fear the judgment of others – you have given them the responsibility to judge you and you’re giving them the choice to decide what is right and wrong for you. Speaking the truth is believing in yourself.
3. Taking Responsibility for your Experience
...Don’t be a victim to anyone. Do not make excuses-Make
choices. Taking responsibility doesn’t mean accepting the blame, but it does mean accepting that you are the one who will
fix the problem .Live in the solution. Don’t assume your spous- es, bosses, colleagues and even good friends can read yourmind. For any relationship to thrive, both parties have to take respon- sibility for clearly communicating their needs. Admitting what is most important in your life gives you power. Taking responsi- bility for your experience is believing in yourself.
4. Keeping Your Agreements ... Just Do it! Keeping your agreements is doing what you
say you will do with other people, and most importantly with yourself. When you do not keep agreements, you are telling yourself that you cannot be trusted. Maintaining a healthy work/life balance is critical to success. Be extraordinarily clear with what you can take on. Don’t overbook your schedule. Don’t neglect your needs. Your needs matter. Respecting and prioritizing what you want will help you honor what your clients need from you more
effectively.Moving your own needs higher on your priority list is therefore not selfish, it’s smart. Keeping your agreements is believing in yourself. Always know, the power is withinYOU! Don’t ignore your
inner voice. Listen and stay true. Say “yes” with joy and say “no” without reservations. You are the Master of your life. You have the choice to believe in yourself. You have the power to create whatever you want in your life. Remember, each and every day is a new beginning and “Anything is Possible!.”
