Empowerment & Mental Toughness
“To me, Microsoft is about empowerment… we are the original democratizing
force, putting a PC in every home and every desk.” ~ Satya Nadella
Empowerment…
Ultimately, empowerment is a deeply personal word that means many different things to different people, under differing circumstances.
It sometimes means giving women more freedom and responsibility.
It means giving employees the power to make important decisions.
It means having the strength of your convictions.
It means mental toughness and self-direction at its core.
The term empowerment refers to measures designed to increase the degree of autonomy and self-determination in people and in communities in order to enable them to represent their interests in a responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority.
It is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights.
Empowerment as action refers both to the process of self-empowerment and to professional support of people, which enables them to overcome their sense of powerlessness and lack of influence and to recognize and use their resources.
To do work with power.
The power to effect change.
We all want more power over our lives… to feel a sense of true empowerment.
We want to empower others to achieve their hopes and dreams.
We want to have the power to just make things better.
Self-betterment… empowerment… changing circumstances…
This is one of those inside out conversations.
Change happens inside us first.
Something causes us to stop and think about the way things are, and how we would like them to be different.
To change.
We gain a sense of empowerment when we find the courage to make the changes we want to see happen.
In Success On Purpose we first talk about your 4 R’s:
Doing the RIGHT Things…
The RIGHT Way…
For the RIGHT Reasons…
At the RIGHT Time.
We then drill down one level to your 4 C’s:
CLARITY of vision, values and roles…
Absolute CONVICTION that what you are doing is the Right Thing to be doing…
Total COMMITMENT to doing the Right Things…
By finding the COURAGE of your Convictions.
Empowerment is finding your inner strength to do what’s RIGHT with the Courage to take bold action.
