Today on Feminine Roadmap we are talking about power styles and how they morph under the pressure of uncertain times with Maggie Craddock. Maggie believes in the importance of understanding your power style and how it morphs especially when we find ourselves in situations that trigger us. How we choose to engage with our own power style and emotional reactions is in the pivot point to making the mindset shift necessary to come out of the uncertain time with more authentic alignment, less emotional tension and more relational connectedness. During an uncharted life experience like a worldwide quarantine definitely puts everyone on edge as we are all being tested and going to the edge of something new and unsettling. It’s at this edge that the depth of our inner icebergs get triggered both emotionally in our inner world and behaviorally in our outer world. Maggie explains how understanding our power styles and the power styles of those around us becomes an invaluable tool in navigating times of stress and uncertainty because it helps us gain perspective outside of our own perception of things. Maggie encourages listeners to utilize this tool to help them remain agile around their expectations of people, extending more grace and patience as we move through this worldwide challenge as well as our personal challenges together.
