How Women’s Stories are Changing our Ideas about Power with Annette Simmons

<p>Have you defined power the way men define it? Do you feel like women don’t have the same power that men have in the workplace? Are you ready to find out how some women are now defining their own boss power and overcoming people’s expectations through their own narratives?</p> <p>Power is never only limited to one definition and can vary from person to person. The world is slowly adapting and welcoming women into higher positions unlike before. To acknowledge one’s power is to use it for the greater and collective good. But what does it mean to have power as a woman and how can we, our own girl boss selves, turn our power into action that can greatly impact the world?</p> <p><strong>Annette Simmons</strong> is a keynote speaker, consultant, and author of four books, including <em>The Story Factor</em>, listed in <em>The 100 Best Business Books of All Time</em>. She got her business degree from Louisiana State University (1983), spent ten years in Australia in international business, got an M.Ed. from North Carolina State University (1994), and founded Group Process Consulting in 1996. Her new book is <em>Drinking from a Different Well: How Women’s Stories Change What Power Means in Action.</em></p> <p>In this episode, Annette talks about how the definition of power is evolving and isn’t only being limited to how men define it.
