What is your relationship to power? Do you embrace your power? Deny it or try to hide it?

Women, despite their ambition, have a very complicated relationship with power that affects their ability to stay the course to reach executive positions.

According to a recent study by the Center for Talent Innovation, professional women in the US, UK, and Germany are "fiercely ambitious". They found that women, between the ages of 35 and 50, are looking for 5 basic things from their career: to flourish, excel, have meaningful work, financial security, and power. What they don't understand is that power in and of itself will help them achieve all of this.
