As Nonprofit leaders, we all have a relationship with power. But it's not something that we tend to take a look at much. And I think perhaps the reason for that is what a lot of Nonprofit leaders tell me – that they're not super comfortable with the concept of power.

Today I want to really dig into some questions that will help us all understand our relationship with power a little bit better, and perhaps begin to shift that relationship a little bit.

The thing is, our relationship with power is often pretty complex. What we don't always consider is that we're also walking around with a whole set of beliefs about power that shape that relationship.

Our beliefs about power in particular have been shaped over a lifetime of experience. But they’ve also been informed by things we heard growing up. And by the environment we're operating in now.

If we're operating in an environment with a lot of other Nonprofit leaders, and that's our primary thought ecosystem, what happens a lot is that we start reinforcing one another's beliefs about power. And what I've noticed is that a lot of times those beliefs may not always be serving us very well. In fact, they may be holding us back from the things we most want.

In this episode, we share:

• How and why our beliefs about power affect our actions and decisions
• The most common beliefs about power held by many Nonprofit leaders
• A simple exercise to help you uncover your hidden beliefs about power
• The most powerful questions you can ask yourself to rewire your beliefs
• How to change your relationship with power to one that truly serves you
