EMPOWER
TIP:
Empowerment search success isn’t strictly about you
or your needs - not what you can get but what you can give. Yes, you
want to be empowered but for what? Will your empowerment help others?
How will it help you make a difference and drive. Your power comes from
how you lift others up.
