Earning empowerment is about earning trust in self and from others that we have the attitude and ability to fulfill a role. In the Dyson Empowerment Model, there are seven components of Attitude and of Ability one can assess, develop, and decide when choosing the level of empowerment for a role or task.

True Empowerment comes from earning it by individuals, teams, families, and organizations–and about society providing opportunity.

Asking government for more cannot be the only strategy. We have hard fought and won Freedom to Flourish in the USA. Veterans provided Freedom of Life and Liberty. That allowed earning of more Freedom of Civil and Human Rights.

Now, what will we do with our Freedom to Flourish?

Life Leaders write a plan that includes callings and choices and more focused on what is important to us and how we can live closer to our best-selves. We seek to discover and devote ourselves to mission, vision, and goals.

The opposite (and most common approach) is unprepared “go with the flow.” For those who like “go with the flow,” that is more attainable when we have internalized plans. Our instincts inspire and guide us better. When we clarify what we value, we make better, faster decisions and use our time better. The best time management seminars are built around this timeless principle.

Empowerment Week in Birmingham starts soon and other cities host similar commemorations. Some citizens focus on asking society to give us more empowerment, more of what we need. Some, however, focus on earning more empowerment so they can do their best at the opportunities–provided or created.

What is your strategy?

We are fortunate to live in a society that provides freedom and opportunity. Even with those, life often has challenges! Earning empowerment, developing better lives, is up to individuals, families, teams, organizations, communities, and the country to learn, improve, and take persistent action toward priorities.

Having a model to use for stating intent with others on how you plan to earn empowerment and how you will delegate helps you and leaders to build trust better and faster. To learn how to attend an empowerment seminar in the Birmingham area, visit www.LifeLeadersInstitute.org and link to Take Action and Attend.
