I was in the middle of giving a seminar as I suddenly became acutely aware that I was looking out at an audience of hundreds of people who were looking back at me. Behind me were three video screens and a professionally decorated stage.

The screens magnified my image to almost theatrical proportions. The audience was great and we were having fun together.

Then, bang! I was suddenly taken back in a flurry of memories. It was so unexpected  it was  jarring.

I thought about all the times I’d sat in audiences just like this as one of the many attendees and reveling in the material I was getting from the speaker. I was just one of the crowd hoping to improve my life in some way.

Several friends and associates came to mind who were with me at various events. Many of those people became their own enormous success stories. I thought about others I’d known who were immensely talented yet they’d simply faded away.

I also flashed back on some of the speakers and entrepreneurs I’d coached over the years. One that I recalled was just awful. I’d coached him informally through the National Speaker’s Association and we we’d developed a friendship.

He asked me to attend a Rotary luncheon where he’d be speaking and requested that I give him a critique.

As I sat there listening to him, I felt almost ill. If there were such a thing as a speaker’s life preserver, I’d have thrown it up to the podium for him. He was drowning.

Now, years later, he speaks authoritatively on his topic all over the world, he’s written best sellers and consults to major corporations. What power he has! But it sure didn’t look like it that day. To his credit he never gave up.

As I peered back at my audience it was almost disorienting. I know I paused for several seconds as my eyes scanned the crowd. The group became quiet and still, waiting. The only motion was from a videographer with a hand-held camera moving around the stage to get another shot. Then, even he stood still, waiting.

I thought about the times I’d felt either powerless or felt like I was just one of the crowd. I thought about all the people I’d known who were the same or felt the same and then had become world famous or highly accomplished in their vocations. What power they had, what power they have. Did they realize it then? Did anyone?

Many of those who’ve succeeded were not very impressive at the time. Probably neither you nor I would  have said to any of them, “What power you must have,” let alone thought it.

These thoughts were so provoking that after my pause, I spontaneously said to them, “What power you must have!”

I told them some of the stories of feeling or looking powerless, including my own. I implored them to know their power and to be willing
to step into it.

It wasn’t simply another motivational talk, it was spontaneously from my heart in a way I hadn’t spoken before. It was truly an AHA!

For the first time in my life I completely appreciated the immense power of the individual. Not the crowd, each individual. What power! I thought, how can they really know this?

So, I know this about you; What power you must have.

Michael Korda, author and the  successful president of Simon & Schuster wrote a book  called, “Power.” This is what he said about the subject; “Power. If think you have it, you do. If you think you don’t, you don’t.”

What power you must have . . . you think?

This article came to me in a flash. It’s what I call an AHA! I shared it for
my newsletter subscribers who came back with personal emails and
comments (below) about how the effect this had on so many of my
readers.

I began reviewing my seminars and books, especially
“How To Take NO  For An Answer And Still Succeed.” I realized that my
life’s work was about showing others their inner-powers. I just never
thought of it that way.
