"Women are the largest reserve of untapped talent in the world." ~ Hillary Clinton
In honor of the month of women, this is the second of a two-part series. In my last blog, Women: Discovering our power and voice at any age, talked about still find our power as women is a problem, especially for those of us in our Middle Ages or earlier years. Now let's talk about how we find our voice, no matter our age.
Follow our dreams
In our passion and "who" one of the most effective ways is to get our power - to get our light. , Investment adviser and author reinventing radio, Tresa Leftenant - In his interview on my Online: women - to support plan, conduct, and to propose at its next chapter capital, spoke about the power of women aware of our annual reinvent and half of life, to follow our dreams and "make our lives better." He described the four pillars of reinvention in his book. "Number one is to forego what were born to do to do, I encourage people to do is to really look at your life and ask," Where am.? - I live on outdated ideas about what should be my life, such as "I think we really causes unhappiness and pain several ways reinvention is really to find out what we were born to do ... what ... our heart to. singing makes and releasing the "should".
When Kathy Sparrow Empowerment Coach, author and founder of writing on the board, said - he, when she was in my program: "If we live our own history, starting when we really live, if it really begin to live. it is to recognize that we all have the right to live our own lives, to what we believe, for us is true important for each of us. Many of us have taught us that we can take care of at all need, and if there is something left at the end of the day, we can be satisfied. This is what I call the call "supporting role." we really need to get first, and if they do, they look better for all us around. "
You can learn more about how his dream to follow in my previous blog, follow your dream, whatever their age.
To take responsibility
We can make quantum leaps to make the kinds of changes that improve our lives and improve our world by the knowledge that we can. "Take responsibility claiming our power to have the life that you really want. As women we often have on the recovery of our performance work to our financial situation," Leftenant said. He was referring to looking for what she calls our wet money to overcome this and to our power to recover money. after Leftenant, financial strength and financial strength have increased: "We just need to identify the parts of ourselves that we can truly serve For example, if you focus your skills in their ability to investigate or speak good ability independently. of their strength, and get it on a discussion of the request is a fair payment, you begin to see that it really is possible. "
The knowledge of our power as women
We all, men and women have both male and female energies or qualities in us. We work our best and reach our highest level of well-being when these two energies are balanced. Often we focus on the more masculine qualities of action and move forward aggressively on our way as a way to achieve our goals and get into our possession. These are undoubtedly important pieces of the puzzle. However, one of the barriers women and men were running, while this has been done, is that when the feminine qualities in each of us are ignored, a very important part of our power as an abandonment complete people. In particular, women have had this problem, trying to compensate for the obstacles that women have encountered. It means to look a big part of who we are instead of our female energy to our advantage. While male attributes, which are described as action-oriented, aggressive and analysis in general, for example, are very important to have a strong voice, the feminine energies - such as intuition, compassion, creativity, social networking and collaboration, communication and multitasking, among others - when balanced with male attributes, all found to be related to higher levels of success and a greater contribution to the world.
In Article 7 leadership qualities that we can learn from the female elephant, Aura Alex writes: "The Elephant Alpha-woman does not arise after the stronger or more aggressive personality, but because of the report, which it demonstrated by other elephants lead by wisdom. , strength and special skills: problem solving, social intelligence, openness, choice, patience, trust, compassion "are all qualities women. Middle-aged and older people tend to and are to share to those who can not improve hide.
Support side, work together to build relationships, mentor each other
Most of the gains I made in my own quest for power and the voice came with the support of other women, both of which are supervised by female colleagues and from other successful women. There is tremendous power in women helping women. surround ourselves with women of all ages who want to help each other, that our roads to keep, is so strong that a chemical effect on the reduction of stress hormones and increases feelings of happiness to have been found. This also helps us in developing this female models shows us that our success is possible and that a woman's voice can be powerful. In addition, cooperation and networking were found among women, for women to lead to greater success.
In his article 12 things that women made Successful otherwise, Emma Gray, the editor in the Huffington Post Executive Women wrote: "a support - network is the key to success keep your friends and make new anywhere where work makes you. happier and helps your career later. "I saw that all the relationships I have built on my way was a great advantage to create the life that I want.
Finally, there is power in numbers. If we want to be sure that we have a voice that is heard, we need to connect with other women, to create a unified voice that says: "We have a lot to offer not ignore us .." And by the way, nothing is lost when people are favorable to promote the sidelines. If we are to each other and do not accept our sisters are degraded by the way they look as "too old" or as women, we can change our culture that respects what must offer women of all ages and experience when the have advantage years of experience behind us.
As an icon of feminist and founder of Ms. Magazine, Gloria Steinem wrote: "Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat this as a kind of dirty joke ... It will have its brotherhood."
Remember that every bit of progress we have made in our own lives, moved as women to live out loud within reach, and light was made possible not only to our own hard work and perseverance, but in the back of pioneers women in question, who literally put their lives so that we are able to do so. It is our responsibility to our forefathers to continue their work, be good role models for generations of women who come to us, and have the back of our sisters as they share their voice in the world. For if a woman is attacked, degraded, or its value is denied, it affects all of us.
