Summary

Today I have the honor of connecting with Dr. Sharon Melnick! Dr. Sharon is a leading Executive Coach and Speaker in the area of resilience, power, and women’s leadership. She was intricately involved in research at Harvard Medical School and is a Marshall Goldsmith Top 100 Coach who has coached and trained at over 60 Fortune 500 organizations and numerous equity-owned and startup companies. She is the author of In Your Power. In today’s episode, Dr. Sharon shares her background, and we dive into trauma, intergenerational trauma, triggers, how to change a definition and narrative, how to distinguish between being in your power and feeling powerless, regaining a sense of control and confidence, the metaphor of the thermostat versus the thermometer, ways to align more closely with your power, strategies for dealing with intrusive people, and more. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why do we tend to create unhealthy self-soothing behaviors to cope with the uncomfortable feelings associated with unhealed trauma? Dr. Sharon defines triggers. The power of reframing and changing the narratives of triggering situations. How to regain a sense of control when you are in an acutely emotional or reactive state. How to reconnect with yourself and regain your power after moving through difficult emotions. Dr. Sharon shares a technique for moving from being reactive to becoming intentional. What it means to be in your power, and how being in your power differs from having power. Dr. Sharon explains why she wrote her book. How our built-in protective mechanism prevents us from feeling good enough and taking control of our lives. How to become more resilient. How to re-establish your power and use it effectively. How to align with others and influence them to do as you ask. How to stay in your power when your boundaries get disrespected, or when dealing with narcissistic people.
