TALENT BRIDGE: INFLUENCE
COMPONENTS: POWER & BODY (PARALLEL)
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Key strengths: Influential, authoritative & confident

The BODY (Parallel) Component represents our social circle and the people around us, while the POWER Component represents authority figures and government. Individuals with a strong Talent Bridge between these Components are often involved in social activism and feel deeply connected to those around them. They tend to join and lead others in opposition to those in power, frequently motivated by social injustices. These individuals usually have strong political opinions and find it challenging to remain on the sidelines. If not involved in politics, they are likely active in humanitarian efforts and dedicated to working for the public good.

WHEN BRIDGE IS IN OPTIMAL BALANCE

CONDITIONS: Both sides are solid (High efficiency)

When POWER and BODY Components are strong enough, and in optimal balance, a person might have these qualities/interests:

  • Altruistic
  • Social/humanitarian work
  • Team leadership
  • Working as a law enforcer
  • Crisis management
  • Political activism
FAMOUS PEOPLE WITH THIS SETUP

Individuals with this Talent Bridge are naturally authoritative. Jack Nicholson and Kevin Costner are renowned for their charismatic and authoritative roles. Barack Obama displayed these traits prominently during his presidency, and Mark Zuckerberg exemplifies them as the CEO of Facebook, one of the world’s largest tech companies.

WHEN POWER IS SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER THAN BODY

CONDITIONS: POWER is much stronger than BODY (Low efficiency)

If the POWER Component is significantly more potent than the BODY Component, a person may experience self-deprecation and a lack of confidence. They may struggle with authority figures and be unable to stand up for themselves in critical moments.

REMEDY: This imbalance can be addressed if the person has a solid INTELLECT Component, which can deplete excessive POWER and support the BODY Component. Additionally, a strong OUTPUT Component can help bolster the BODY Component to counteract the overwhelming POWER.

Suppose one or both of these remedial Components are present. In that case, the negative traits caused by this imbalance are likely to be neutralized, allowing the individual to shift their focus to another Talent Bridge and adopt a more balanced, practical approach.

WHEN POWER IS SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER THAN BODY

CONDITIONS: POWER is much weaker than BODY (Low efficiency)

If the POWER Component is significantly weaker than the BODY Component, a person might not be well-suited to working under others and having bosses. In large corporations, they thrive best when given personal space and creative freedom, and their superiors should avoid being overly authoritative. Often, bosses might feel inferior around them. Negative aspects of this imbalance can include a strong ego and selfishness.

REMEDY: This situation can be remedied if the person has a solid WEALTH Component, which can deplete excessive BODY and support the POWER Component.

Suppose this remedial Component is present and strong. In that case, the negative traits caused by this imbalance are likely to be neutralized, allowing the individual to shift their focus to another Talent Bridge and adopt a more balanced, practical approach.

WHEN BOTH COMPONENTS ARE EXCESSIVE

CONDITIONS: Both Components are robust (High intensity)

If both Components are excessive, they often dominate the entire chart, neutralizing all other Components and potential Talent Bridges, creating an undesirable dynamic. Negative clashes between these two Components are likely. While the person may excel at tasks related to these Components, they may perform poorly in areas associated with others.

REMEDY: The OUTPUT Component is the only one capable of simultaneously reducing excessive POWER and BODY. Regardless of strength, its presence is likely to have a positive impact. Therefore, ensuring that the OUTPUT Component is present is crucial, given its favorable implications in this case.

WHEN BOTH COMPONENTS ARE WEAK

CONDITIONS: Both Components are weak (Low intensity)

If both Components are weak, this Talent Bridge may not be very active unless stimulated by a Dynamic Chart, and even then, the quality may be questionable.

REMEDY: In this case, remedying the situation is quite tricky, given the overall poor quality of the Bridge, which is likely beyond repair. The person should focus more on developing other Bridges that may offer more substantial support and potential for growth.
