When I really got that being powerful is not pushing people around, but a commitment to my purpose with a good dose of honesty, listening and serenity, it blew me away.
yeah, dude, [i:3c28592754]your[/i:3c28592754] purpose.
so you learned to use subtle tactics versus overt, all the better to serve [i:3c28592754]your[/i:3c28592754] own ends.

The possibility (sorry, hard not to use the word) I see is real partnership, where it's no longer "dominate or be dominated."
and yet you do work as a introduction leader that operates under the top-down model that really operates as a hierarchy, with paid bosses and a workforce of un-paid volunteers, a pyramid scheme. I guess a gloss of egalitarianism. I suppose you have re-organized your local Landmark into a worker's collective. oh sorry, you can't. you just work there, too.
if you want to forge "real partnerships" you can use the ring model rather than the pyramid model.
maybe you do use that model in your extra-Landmark life, however, if you did, you would surely not have to go to Landmark for that "insight", you would already live it.
