This podcast episode interviews Chris Lipp, author of "The Science of Personal Power," discussing how mindset and approach impact perceived power. Lipp defines personal power as believing in one's ability to create impact, highlighting that taking responsibility, rather than blaming, significantly influences this perception. He emphasizes the importance of abstract language in conveying a broader vision and using concrete examples to support it, suggesting a pre-interview value reflection exercise to boost confidence. The discussion also touches on nonverbal communication, advocating for authenticity over forced power poses, and concludes with Lipp's communication recipe: focusing on value, the big picture, and action.
