Why Sasha Fierce Matters in Mediation (Yes, We're Calling on Beyoncé)

Have you ever had a client who is timid about going into mediation because they believe their spouse or co-parent will over-power or try to dominate them? Perhaps they don’t feel like they have the confidence to advocate for themselves? Today we're talking about the concept of psychological power and that’s where we can look to Sasha Fierce for inspiration to help clients prepare to go into that mediation room with confidence.

For those of you who may not know who Sasha Fierce is, she is Beyoncé’s alter ego. She created Sasha Fierce to help her separate her confident on-stage persona from her more timid at-home personality.

And if you've ever seen Beyoncé perform, you may be wondering…timid???? There is nothing timid about her performances; they are bold, sexy, and confident. Well, that's thanks to Sasha Fierce.

As divorce coaches, we can help our clients create their own alter ego and embody a temporary sense of power when they are preparing to mediate. Research has shown that being powerful and feeling powerful have essentially the same impact in negotiations. So whether your client channels Oprah, the Dalai Lama, Batman, or their best friend, the point is that they can increase their perceived psychological power.

Next time you watch a Beyoncé video, think about that. Is she timid or is she Sasha Fierce?
