Win a Creative Freedom and Influence Whilst Maintaining Your Integrity

Many people reject power because they equate it to control, dominance or force. But the word power is in itself neutral,  coming from the Latin ‘potere’ meaning to be able to ‘DO’ i.e. having the creative freedom to make things happen.


Do you have great ideas to advance your company but are sometimes at a standstill as to how to do this? If so, this workshop is for you.

You don’t have to switch to the dark side of power to make change happen nor be on the receiving end of it. On the contrary:  you can develop a sense of personal power and work out your own strategy to assert yourself.

Even in the political landscape of corporate life, you can influence many without letting yourself be seduced by an outdated view of power.  Do not let yourself be toyed with anymore. Play your own game.
