  • 8. Grow Your Personal Power - A Talk With Chris Lipp (Speak Value & Tulane University Freeman School of Business)
    Nov 25 2024

    Listen, and learn how to grow your Personal Power in this talk with our guest Chris Lipp. He is author of 3 books on Personal Power & Persuasion: The Startup Pitch - A Proven Formula to Win Funding; Magnetic - How Great Leaders Persuade and Inspire - which we discussed in podcast episode 5 -; and The Science of Personal Power - How to Build Confidence, Create Success, and Obtain Freedom. Chris is Principal Coach at SpeakValue and Professor, & Director of Management Communication at Tulane University Freeman School of Business.

    In this episode, Chris Lipp and host Desiree Timmermans talk about Chris's latest book: The Science of Personal Power: How to Build Confidence, Create Success & Obtain Freedom.

    "To really understand how to tap into your power is to recognize that power is neither a set of behaviors nor is it a certain personality that some people have and some people don't: Your Power is Within You. And you can tap it with the right mindset, and it's not a mindset of affirmation in these things - of course, those things help - but it's actually at a deeper level. And so personal power is the belief we have in our own capability to create impact." - Chris Lipp.
