What if power in your workplace was something you could grow together?

A lot of leaders we work with are good at their jobs, and they genuinely want to bring others along. But the way power typically operates in organizations makes that harder than it sounds. Old habits, unspoken hierarchies, and the pressure to have the answers can quietly get in the way of the kind of collaboration and engagement we're all hoping for. The Reimagining Power Framework was built to help with exactly this. It's a reflective assessment tool, not a performance review or checklist of right answers, that looks at 12 specific leadership behaviours and asks: where are we now, and is that where we want to be? The framework will help you develop a clearer picture of how power currently shows up in your team or organization, and some real language and direction for what it might look like to shift it.

Louise Pitre

As a leadership coach, Louise (BSc, MHA, ORSCC) centres equity, curiosity, authenticity and leading from the heart in all that she does. The heartbeat of her work is power, leadership, systems change, and theatre. Ever since she stepped into her first formal position of authority more than two decades ago, she has been dancing with power. Every new dance step is a discovery about her relationship to power and how power influences her leadership effectiveness. Louise has learned we can’t get to equity and justice out there unless we, as leaders, are willing to look inward. Change starts with us.
