The Power (and Price) of Playing by the Rules

A Generative Power® Leadership Reflection from Lisa Conners

Generative Power® is a suite of keynotes, courses, master classes, and a community I created to share a simple truth: our power—each person’s power—is generated from the inside out.

Continuously cultivating internal power is ancient wisdom, woven into every spiritual tradition and reflected in the most effective coaching and therapeutic approaches.

It is the foundation of our resilience, creativity, communication, and our ability to form deep, authentic, loving relationships.

Through Generative Power programs, I share this wisdom in my own voice—shaped by my life experiences, inspired by the many people I’ve been fortunate to know, and the multi-faceted professional experiences that I’ve navigated.

I invite you to download my free pdf, Leadership Reflections on The Power (and Price) of Playing by the Rules.

Regardless of your personal or professional background, I guarantee, your internal power won’t feel the same after reading this short guide.

For more context, read below for how and why I created these reflections.

Here’s to a powerful 2026!

GENERATIVE POWER® and THE PATTERNS THAT EMERGED

In 2025, I created two Generative Power®, self-directed courses that I invite you to join!

The 7-Day Momentum Builder

The 8-Week Power Challenge

And, in addition to executive and leadership coaching, I created and presented keynotes and programs with the following titles:

  • Your Authentic Leadership Presence

  • The Power (and Price) of Playing by the Rules

  • Imposter Phenomenon (aka Imposter Syndrome)

  • The Generative Power of DISC: Unlocking Leadership

  • The Power to Choose: Taking Ownership of What Comes Next

  • Generative Power: Cultivating Greater Awareness, Confidence, and Resilience from Within

  • Women and Wealth: The Power of Betting on Yourself!

  • 8 Secrets to Generative Power

As I immersed myself in creating these impactful experiences for experienced, driven leaders, one pattern kept rising to the surface.

I recognized that everyone follows internal rules - many of which they never consciously chose. Some of those rules help us to succeed. Others now shape our decisions, boundaries, and leadership presence in ways that may no longer serve us.

This led to creating my master class, The Power (and Price) of Playing by the Rules.

To my surprise and delight, the universal nature of this topic became evident as individuals enrolled from 32 countries.

I’m grateful that my professional journey has led me to create programs that resonate with a global community eager to learn more about how to live with purpose, lead with vision, and create greater impact.
