Introducing Becoming Power

Power—what a complicated word. What does it take to become powerful? Money? Fame? Connections? Or perhaps just being born into the right kind of body?I believe power—true power—results from deep roots, an inner life that keeps us grounded, inspired, and connected to what matters most. Power emerges from practices that help us transform and evolve and serve as a foundation for our work in the world.I believe we become powerful when we nurture those deep roots and the people that matter most to us. I'm Valerie Black, an applied behavioral scientist, coach, healthcare entrepreneur, and helpmate to the brave builders of the future. And I'm a bit obsessed with learning how change-makers of all kinds cultivate the rich inner lives at the root of their power.On Becoming Power, I talk with powerful people about the practices that nourish them most. From writers and business leaders to activists and athletes, we dig deep into process and strategy. As your personal behavioral scientist, I analyze their insights and turn them into meditations, visualizations, and bite-sized experiments for you to integrate into your own life.Becoming Power is your unprecedented access to the inner lives of people doing great work.***Follow or subscribe to Becoming Power for free wherever you get podcasts.
