3 Ways to be More Powerful

Episode Summary

Learn three tactical ways you can be more powerful through your presence, decisions and overall actions. Using these techniques will make you more influential, too.

Episode Notes

Hear Karen’s best negotiation story in this episode: how she got nearly 3x as much money for an engagement than originally agreed upon.

The three ways to be more powerful are: 

1) Use your voice

2) Trust yourself

3) Set boundaries

Tangible Takeaways:

• Use your voice
  • Project, speak with conviction, avoid a breathy tone
  • Think about your whole body working for you to support your voice
  • Speak up when you have an idea and have a point to avoid rambling
• Trust yourself
  • Trust your gut
  • Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind. - Brene Brown
  • If something doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t
  • If you don’t ask you won’t get
• Set boundaries
  • Know your worth
  • “No” is a complete sentence
  • Ask for what you need
