Personal power and life choices

Personal power shapes choices and life experiences. It is intrinsically connected to survival.

I was young when my mother passed away. I miss her and imagine how it would be to take a deep breath and inhale the presence of ‘mom’ again.

I didn’t enjoy going to school and wondered what it took to be rich. Hard times came by when dad was bedridden. Ever the ‘man of the house’, he continued to guide our decisions and manage affairs of the home. Dad was my mentor. He taught me sales etiquette, how to win trust, and how to achieve daily targets.

An incident occurred that shaped my life. A close relative running a successful trading enterprise offered to hire me. The remuneration was exploitative ( = peanuts). I flew into a rage; no one deserved to be treated like this. Talk about being dramatic. I promised myself that I would pay my team well (in case you are curious; it is a promise I have kept).

In hindsight, I understand what ticked me off. The low-ball offer was a ploy to erode my personal power. Low-balling1 is an effective negotiation strategy, but not in talent management.
