Session Overview

Power is present in every interaction we have, but it’s often misunderstood and/or misused. In the social sector, where people care deeply about meaningful missions, unhealthy power dynamics can erode connection, trust, and performance.

In this one-hour interactive session, The Ally Co. will help participants to identify, name, and navigate power dynamics more consciously, equipping them with shared language and simple tools to align their intent with their impact - a key driver for developing trust and performance on teams.

 

What Participants can Expect

• Deeper Awareness of Power: Understand what power is (and isn’t), and why it matters for healthy, high-performing teams and relationships.

• Types of Power: Explore five distinct types of power and how they show up in your day-to-day – at home and at work.

• Power Dynamics in Action: Learn how to recognize and navigate the “up/down” power dynamic with confidence.

• Power Mapping Activity: Try a hands-on exercise to map how power flows for you, and within your team or organization.

• Practical Tools: Leave with frameworks to apply right away, helping you to harmonize support with accountability, and to foster connection, trust, and alignment.
