What does E.M.P.O.W.E.R mean to you? Dear Empowered Reader Welcome to 2024! A new year of empowered possibilities! Thank you for your readership. As we began the new year, I started to reflect on other new beginnings. Today, I am excited to share the creation story of the name EMPOWER Possible. E.M.P.O.W.E.R. is an acronym and the story begins in a Lean In meeting. Several years ago, during the meeting, a participant introduced themselves stating their name was LOVE and LOVE was an acronym. Their introduction sparked a moment of inspiration. At the time, I was beginning to think about starting a business. I had a few ideas about what I wanted to do and the impact I wanted to have but the business did not have a name. This encounter planted the seed for a powerful idea—to create an acronym that captures the essence of my business. After much thought, EMPOWER was crafted to represent: E - Engage: Foster active participation and collaboration. M - Meaning: Discover purpose and create meaningful connections. P - People: Harness collective good and leverage collective power. O - Organizations: Build strong and supportive communities and networks. W - Well-being: Prioritize caring for self and holistic well-being. E - Empathy: Cultivate understanding and compassion. R - Regenerate: Renew and revitalize for sustained growth. As I reflect on this journey I am amazed at how one moment could have such a meaningful impact. This simple encounter during a Lean In meeting led to the creation of a concept that encompasses so much depth and meaning! I added “Possible” to the name because with EMPOWER anything is possible and everyone has the opportunity to thrive!  This acronym embodies the philosophy of EMPOWER, where purpose, meaning, and empowerment intersect to create a space for growth, connection, and positive change. Now, let's play with acronyms!  Here's one that captures the spirit of EMPOWER: Empowering Minds,  Promoting  Opportunity,  Working towards  Equality, and  Realizing potential. Time to reflect: What seemingly simple moments in your life have had an impact? What is your EMPOWER acronym? Please share, info@empowerpossible.com What new possibilities exist for you this year?
