Why are the best and brightest women still not reaching C-Suite positions? We can blame the system or society. We can point to a lack of role models or mentors. But what if a big part of the problem is us? What if we secretly have an aversion to power? What if, deep down, we are disgusted by the lack of ethics sometimes demonstrated by top-ranked executives? What if we are really afraid of losing our femininity and becoming like ‘them’?

Today, Sylvia is digging deep into the attraction/aversion dilemma of power. She offers insight around the secret disgust of power she has encountered in working with women in the female pipeline and what she calls the ping-pong of goal-pursuing, where women are consciously working toward a goal but subconsciously averse to realizing their vision.

Sylvia explains why women stuck in the aversion/attraction dilemma choose inaction, self-sabotage, or simply turn down great opportunities. Listen in for insight on conducting an honest inquiry into your own attraction and aversion to power and learn how to begin letting go of judgement and longing to access your full power—with magical ease!
