What Participants Say About Their Power Lab Experiences

"Until I recognized my behavior and tendency to react like a typical "Middle" in this intense experience, I never questioned the systems I live in or considered alternative behaviors. Now I am constantly evaluating systems and how I can best utilize my power to improve my experience and the overall performance of my division. This experience will stay with me for many years to come."

Dawn P. Christiansen
Vice President, Citicorp

"The PLC should be a prerequisite for executives and management in any organization undergoing transition. It gave me an opportunity to test empowerment, let go of hierarchical structure, and observe the successes and failures first hand. This information gave me enormous confidence in my decision making when I returned to work."

"One does not really truly believe that there is the potential within every single human being to change anything and everything until you've done it or watched it happen right in front of you. The PLC allowed me to experience the personal challenges, difficulties, and rewards of doing just that."

"The Power Lab was a pivot point for personal transformation and true empowerment. What made the difference were the passion, integrity and support of the staff, the opportunities to reflect on and learn about Oshry's model, and the encouragement to be powerful and to see what impacts your behaviours have on the system."

Patricia Bradshaw
Associate Professor, York University

"I learned about power and shifting power on a visceral level. My learnings from the Power & Leadership Conference have changed the way I consult and increased the success of my interventions."
