Managing Your Own Power
When you walk into a room, things shift. When you ask a question in a meeting, people wonder if there's a right answer you're already looking for. You carry authority whether you're thinking about it or not. This November series teaches one practical skill: How to use that authority with intention rather than by default.
Session Details
Each session is 30 minutes. All three sessions are recorded and sent to registrants. Each session stands alone, but together they build a complete approach to using authority thoughtfully rather than reactively.
Webinar 1: Noticing Your Impact (November 04)
Most managers underestimate how much their presence shapes a room. The first step to using authority well is understanding how you're actually experienced by the people around you. This session covers how to get honest information about your impact from people who are likely to soften it.
Webinar 2: Using Power to Create Opportunity (November 11)
Your position gives you access that most of your team doesn't have. This session is about how to use that access deliberately, opening doors for team members in ways that stretch their development and signal that you're invested in where they're headed.
Webinar 3: Being Clear About Decisions (November 18)
A lot of frustration in teams comes from ambiguity about who actually gets to decide what. This session covers how to be explicit about decision authority in a way that reduces confusion, prevents undermining, and helps people understand where they have real agency.
Who Should Attend
This series is for managers who:
-
Suspect their presence affects team dynamics in ways they're not fully aware of
-
Want to use their position to actively support their team's growth and visibility
-
Find that people are often unclear about when they're empowered to decide versus when to check in
-
Want to lead with intention rather than habit and assumption
If you manage people and want to use your authority in ways that actually serve your team, this is for you.
