Women and Power The Cost of Collusion
Author: Louise LeBrun

Women and Power, a series of presentations delivered live on a variety of topics of interest to women, and the people in their lives. Women and Power is based on the belief that women are strong, competent and courageous; that we, as women, are not in training but are full practitioners at life; and that leadership into the 21st Century mus... more »t come from women. Each of the topics in the series is designed to bring women closer to an awareness of who we are and - more importantly - who we might become! Each topic explores some of the challenges that women face in their own growth and expansion, and in the growth and expansion in their relationships with people around them. The "Women and Power" series covers six prominent topics: speaking up (saying what we really think); money; women and men; women and their mothers; expressing emotions; and finally, in the sixth program, bringing all of these together and exploring how women frequently use the first five to (unwittingly) keep ourselves and each other powerless. The format is the same for all six programs. Each event is held in a public forum, for a duration of two hours, and professionally recorded live with additional microphones positioned in the audience. The program opens with a presentation that runs from 30 to 40 minutes. The floor mics are then opened up for input from the audience, to the degree to which its members wish to participate. People have a lot to say! During this live, open forum, people ask questions, make comments and tell their stories. Each program is then reviewed, with the best 90 minutes made available on audio cassette tape. See Feedback' for comments on the audio tapes. This program, The Cost of Collusion, is both irreverant and confrontational. It challenges the notion of woman as 'victim' and invites consideration and choice of a more powerful identity and way of life. Collusion is defined as acting together secretly; conniving. It also comes from the Latin meaning to play or to deceive together, as in a game. We, as women, have been colluding for generations in ways that have led to our own and each other's powerlessness in the living of our lives. We say yes when we want to say no; we "make nice" with things that are causing us harm; we are willing to surrender ourselves rather than risk hurting someone else's feelings. We encourage each other to do this under the guise of being 'reasonable' or 'understanding'. And then we turn 40, look in the mirror and don't like who we have become. In this program, the last in a series that delves into how women express power, we explore what we do; why we do and how we do - over and over again! - the things in our lives that don't work - and then blame everything around us for our own state of powerlessness. This is an opportunity to open your mind and your thoughts to consider the depth of your own power and ask: where did it all go? And how do I take it back!
