What is Personal Power?

Personal power is the ability to take action. In NLP, this means adopting a positive or resourceful state and being at-cause about your outcomes.

When people give away their personal power to others, circumstances, or the past, they feel disempowered—as if they are at the "Effect" of life ($C > E$). Empowerment is the process of taking back control of your decisions and your internal state.

By moving to the 'Cause' side of the equation, you stop managing excuses and start creating the results you want. True personal power is about moving towards your vision with intention and authority.
