Giving Tuesday, #MeToo, the Ice Bucket Challenge, the out-of-nowhere victories of Obama and Trump\u2026<\/p>\n

They all have something important in common \u2013 they were movements forged by \u201cNew Power\u201d. A deeper understanding of this new power shift gives all of us a better opportunity to build an \u201carmy of the engaged\u201d and make a much bigger impact.<\/p>\n

What is New Power? You may have heard of a state of flow; you know, being in the zone, focused, energized. You could explain New Power in that way, but not just for the individual, a supercharge for all. But it goes deeper than that.<\/p>\n

In this episode, Henry Timms, President and CEO of the 92nd Street YMCA and co-author of New Power: How Power Works in Our Hyperconnected World<\/a> talks about old versus new power, describing one as held by a handful while the other as collaborative and participatory.<\/p>\n

Timms shares the five critical steps you must take to build a New Power movement, and reveals the skills and attributes the best leaders must have in order to create that dynamic.<\/p>\n

Using contemporary phenomenons that foster giving back, our guest describes New Power as a current that flows and surges, moves, is open and accessible for all and can propel us into the 21st century.<\/p>\n
