We know power sounds like a dirty word

So it’s time to change how we think about it.
You have influence. You can make an impact. But there are times when it just doesn’t feel that way. Some situations leave you feeling off-balance, impatient, or reactive.  No one can avoid these tough moments, but the best leaders rise to meet them because they know that a reactive leader is a powerless leader. Master the moment by learning how to match your positional power with a strong, grounded personal power.

About Us

Long-time collaborators Julie Diamond and Lesli Mones created the Power² Leaderlab as a challenging and supportive space where leaders can speak frankly about their struggles and work together to become more powerful and purposeful. The duo created the PowerLeaderlab to serve women leaders committed to being their personal and professional best.

 

Why Power?

No matter where you are in your leadership journey, no matter how much professional and personal development work you’ve done, you can still get knocked off balance.

Maybe it’s a fear of failure, imposter syndrome, or a type of person you struggle to work with that knocks you off balance. When that happens, you lose access to your thinking, to your inner compass and to your ability to lead. In essence, you stumble and lose your power.

But here’s the catch. We only stumble when we’ve been leaning on something unstable. And your positional power and even your expert power aren’t stable enough. What you need is something that remains steady from context to context. And that’s personal power.

The Leaderlab was created to give you the tools to hone your personal power because grounding positional power in personal power creates exceptional leadership.
