Self Authority - An Exploration into the Second Principle of Feminine Leadership

By: Lisa Kotecki
 Self Authority

~ Power~ Compassion ~ Knowing when to say YES! ~ how to give a good No ~ creating YOUR gold standard ~knowing that you are POWERFUL ~ creating the world around you according to YOUR desires and needs ~

This month in our Bay Area meet up in Oakland we will be discussing the principle of self authority.  Even if you’re not in the bay area to come join us, we want this article to serve as your journey into the leadership principle of self authority, and begin the inquiry of what it means to truly embody this principle in your every day life and business.  And if you are in the Bay Area, you can get your tickets here: http://bit.ly/GCMarch2012.

How we choose to define self authority in our 14 Principles of Feminine leadership is as follows: 

You are empowered to hold a centered and balanced position of authority within the self - knowing you define you and no one else gets to. You have the right and authority to take action based on your needs, ideas, desires, dreams, and more.

What this means
Standing in self authority is about standing in our Power.  About understanding our boundaries, how to say no, what to say yes to.  Saying a good no is just as important as saying good yes.  And so many people don’t ask the questions that can really be the roadmap for us standing in our power.  

Questions for self-inquiry:

What is it in your life that you will be saying YES to this year?  What are you going to say NO to so that you can make this a possibility?

What is YOUR gold standard?  How is it that you want to be treated? How is it that you can do things differently to ensure that you get this gold standard more in your life? 

How can you hold compassion and still say no? 

You create the world around you.  You are truly that POWERFUL.  You get a say in what happens in your life.  You get to set the gold standard for how people treat you, for how you set your boundaries, and what the world looks like around you.  You don’t have control over how life treats you.  But you do have control over how you respond.  And understanding what is important to you and why, are important questions in stepping into the realm of self- authority.  

How many times have you given away your power because you were unclear of what your boundaries are, or what you wanted? As women, we are the great givers, its easy to go along with something because we want to please others.  And its easy to want to fall into the people pleasing mode to distract us from really standing in understanding what holds true for ourselves in our world.  Yet, when we stand strong, others respect us, value us more.  Others want to make us happy just as badly as we want to make other happy - so when we’re clear about what makes us happy, we make it easier on others to understand how to serve us as well.  Funny thing isn’t it? 

To learn more about Self Authority, and deepen your experience, come join us this Wednesday, March 28th at our monthly Oakland Meet up where Marta Maria Marraccini will be presenting our second Feminine Leadership Principle.   We’ll also be joined by special presenter Sonya Sophia all the way from the UK, to do a special EFT healing session with us (and who has extended her trip in the US to serve the community!) and Susan Maida teaching us 3 Secrets to Keeping Your Best Clients.

May we all know the power that we are!

Namaste,
