Power (Eric Dodge)

I don't usually think of myself as a powerful person, but I do feel like I have enough power to get the things I want. I guess I think of myself as powerful, but I rarely decide to use this power. I do think of myself as someone that empowers other people. I think that I am pretty good at figuring out ways to motivate others so that they feel empowered. This involves understanding people and the way that their minds work. This allows me to figure out what types of things will motivate them and get them to do their best.

I feel like I have the ability to be a powerful person, but a lot of the time I do not act in this way. In most situations I defer to others and don't worry about trying to use my power. I feel like this makes it more difficult for others to see me as a powerful person, even though I use my power effectively in other situations. I need to focus on being perceived as powerful, even in situations where I am deferring to others. This will make it easier for others to see me as a powerful person in all types of situations.

At this point in my career it is not that important for others to see me as powerful because I am still learning a lot and don't really have any people below me. But it is important for me to start building my credibility as a powerful person right now. I know that in the future there will be more situations where I will need to use my power to get the things that I want. I need to lay the foundations for that right now and start showing people that I do have power and I know how to use it effectively. People do not change their original perceptions very often, so I need to make sure that no one gets the wrong initial impression of me.

Right now my biggest power goal is to have others perceive me as a more powerful person. This will be very important for my future advancement in my career, as well as in other aspects of my life. One way that I can probably do this is to act a little more serious at work. I feel like I have built good relationships with the people that I work with, but some of them probably still think of me as a "kid" in some respects. I can probably change this a little by being a little more assertive with my work and my ideas. I should also try to look a little more professional at work. The dress code is very casual, but I still feel like it would help me exude power a little more if I dressed a little more professional.
