Personal empowerment is about behavioral change which can increase your job performance, career opportunities, self-esteem and job satisfaction.

In fact, most behaviors are not genetic; they are a product of our early childhood development, life experiences and other nurturing elements. In recent years enlightened companies have spent millions of dollars to empower their workforce. Because they know an empowered workforce will result in a more efficient and effective organization.
