Power On Agency
https://www.poweronagency.com/
Power On Agency, led by Carla Gradin, is rooted in the belief that a deep understanding of people is the foundation of every successful business and personal relationship. The agency’s mission is to close the gap between knowledge and connection, empowering leaders and professionals to communicate with greater impact and create meaningful, lasting relationships. Carla founded Power On Agency after recognizing that surface-level insights into human behaviour were insufficient; true influence comes from a deeper understanding of what drives and motivates people, both in work and life.
Carla’s personal journey as a shy, introverted child inspired her to explore confidence and connection on a deeper level. Armed with a Bachelor of Education, a Bachelor of Commerce, and certification as a Body Language Trainer, she knows firsthand that effective communication is a science. Many of us are unaware of the invisible barriers in our communication that prevent true connections. Her services help individuals and teams identify and remove these obstacles, unlocking the potential for more powerful connections and self-awareness.
Power On Agency offers a variety of services to enhance communication and leadership skills. Its signature Powerful People Certification is a 4-day, in-person seminar that equips participants with practical strategies for increasing influence and building trust. For more flexible learning, the Spark Connection online course is available. Additionally, Carla leads a monthly Power Path Mastermind for alumni, offering continued support and growth for those who have completed her programs.
Power On Agency also specializes in group training services tailored to the specific needs of teams and organizations. These offerings include the Power Boost Session, a focused 60-minute workshop ideal for delivering quick, impactful lessons on leadership and communication, as well as the Power Growth Package, which consists of multiple training sessions for sustained development. For a more immersive experience, the full-day Power Impact Workshop provides deep, interactive training to help teams build stronger leadership capabilities and interpersonal skills.
Carla also offers one-on-one coaching that tackles individual challenges and delivers keynote presentations at conferences and professional development sessions to inspire and strengthen teams.
Ultimately, human connection transcends the words we speak. It’s about presence, building trust through how we show up, and communicating empathy through nonverbal cues. Power On Agency equips individuals with the self-awareness and tools needed to lead with empathy, influence with confidence, and foster relationships that thrive, both personally and professionally.
If you’re ready to transform the way you connect and communicate, Carla invites you to take the next step. Reach out to start a conversation that will inspire growth, confidence, and lasting relationships.
