Working with Power - an Integration of Feminine Strength!

I grew up with role models like the “Bionic Woman”, “Wonder Woman” and “Charlie’s Angles.” Strong, powerful women, who were still feminine. They had great hair, dressed well, were physically fit (ok, so the bionic woman had an unnatural advantage), and used their brains in tough situations.

It’s no wonder that when I heard about Working with Power and their tool, the 12 Elements of Power, I was hooked. Finally, here was a way of re-defining my feminine energies into strong tools for work and life. It’s a concept that once I heard it made me say, “duh!” It’s like looking at snowflakes and then realizing together they can turn into something very powerful. Glaciers move slow, but they shape the land underneath them, moving house-sized boulders and depositing them into fields where nothing else exists for miles.



The 12 Elements have that kind of power, only on a human scale.

Like most good solutions, it draws on the strengths already present in a person, and requires that you pay attention to both sides of an equation. The 12 Elements of Power framework encourages integration, balance, and incremental change.

Yup – it requires work. No magic pill, no recipe with dos and don’ts.

The development of self-awareness and then practice, practice, practice.

The two creators of this way of working (of thinking!), Sara Harvey Yao and Michele Lisenbury Christensen, developed this tool because as professional women they felt there had to be another way to work in which they could stay passionate, strong, and focused on their work, yet enjoy their families too. They realized that they were at their most effective when they integrated their feminine approaches, like asking for help or nurturing someone, with the more masculine, like taking control and providing solutions.

Their motto is “Working with Power: It’s easier” for a reason.

Well, maybe it’s not easy in the beginning, as no learning process truly is. However, in the long run, which is the WHOLE point, it is easier and more lasting, to work in a way that balances your strengths.

It’s an idea whose time has come. And I am spreading the word.

If you’ll be in the Durham, North Carolina area, near the Arrowhead Inn on Sunday, April 5th, then treat yourself to an experience. I will be offering a workshop with my twin sister (Getting curious? That’s the idea!), where we will introduce the 12 Elements of Power as one of our many tools and give you a chance to practice.

I can’t guarantee you’ll leave with the ability to move huge boulders or leap tall buildings with a single bound, but I can promise you’ll experience something mind-opening, re-energizing, and joyful.
