Video Lessons
29- Using Force vs. Power
Learning Objective: You will have a better understanding of the motives and choices for why some people use Force vs Power in relationships. This lesson will explain the difference between these two approaches to “getting what you want”; FORCE (to coerce, push, control), OR POWER (to attract, draw-in, entice).
People tend to fall into one of two groups when it comes to getting what they want. Group 1: Using FORCE to make things happen… or… Group 2: Using personal Power to attract things into existence. This video lesson will explore the difference between these two tactics and what may be the result of using FORCE or POWER. After watching the video, download the lesson worksheet and complete the discussion activity.
Discussion Questions:
- Public- Which approach is used by “bullies” and what are they trying to get? What’s wrong with this approach?
- Private-In what situations would you benefit from using more personal POWER and less FORCE to get what you want?
