Claim Your Power in Your Career and Life (Issue 689)
The next update for your free Invincible Career Guide - Week 2 of June
Grab the content of this week’s update so you can paste it into your copy of the Invincible Career Guide. It’s about claiming your power in your work and life.
People often define “power” as being able to make others act or believe in a certain way. I prefer to focus on personal power, which means you are empowered to believe, behave, and act in ways that are aligned with who you really are and what you want in life.
You should not be subservient to others or controlled by anyone else (e.g., a boss, coworker, friend, loved one, stranger).
Personal power helps you influence the outcome of events at work and in your life.
Self-confidence, competence, and a dash of courage help develop it.
People often surrender their power out of worry and fear.
They worry about disappointing people in their lives.
They fear upsetting people in authority at work.
A lack of options feeds this fear and worry.
A lack of control leads to unhappiness.
Healthy power enables a better life.
The Invincible Career Guide for 2026
I created the companion guide to provide additional structure for the weekly emails I will share with you this year. If you haven’t grabbed your copy yet, use the button below to access and save it.
It’s in Google Slides format, so you can save a copy of the presentation to your own Google Drive in your preferred folder. This will allow you to edit the placeholder text to enter your answers to the questions in the guide.
How to use the guide
Every month this year will have a specific theme.
Each week will have a set of homework questions related to that month’s theme.
I will share a new presentation document with that week’s questions via the newsletter email and in my private community (you’re welcome to join us for free!).
Then download the new presentation, copy and paste the new slides into your editable copy of the guide, and use it to answer the questions.
New slides will come each month. Stay tuned for more emails about those.
