What we discuss in this episode:

• What are the sources of power and how has that changed.
• Why connection is the new source of power and why women have a competitive advantage.
• The power of social media and platforms.
• Power starts with being in your own power before you can exercise on behalf of an outcome.
• Why developing agency creates power and action in employees.
• Why shifts in power create disruption and how to anticipate and plan for them to happen to create disruptive change.
• How the power of inclusion unleashes greater revenues and profits.
• Why sharing power is so essential – because if you’re the only person with power, then you’re the only person creating change.
