The Positive Energy Workplace

There’s a common belief in leadership:
That wellness is something you tend to after the real work is done.
That it’s a luxury, a reward, or another item on a list of “shoulds” — sleep more, drink more water, fit in a workout.

But what if physical vitality isn’t something you squeeze in, but something you build from?

In our latest Energy of Leadership — Live! session, we flipped the script on traditional wellness advice and explored physical vitality as an essential leadership foundation — one that directly influences your presence, patience, and performance.

There’s a space that so many practitioners — coaches, consultants, therapists, facilitators, service professionals — are hungry for…

A space where they can talk about the real challenges of holding space for others.
The energetic drain. The boundary confusion. The subtle, often-invisible ways presence (or the lack of it) impacts every client outcome.

This past week, we created that space.

In our live webinar, IEP for Practitioners and Service Professionals: How to Authentically Serve and Keep Your Clients, we invited this community to take a closer look — not just at their technical skills, but at how they show up energetically to serve.

It’s a conversation many didn’t even realize they were missing.

View a quick clip kicking off the session:

What your clients are really paying for — and what happens when you’re not fully there.

The “quality of the container” we hold for each other determines how far we can go, how much trust we build, and the results we achieve together.

This is true in any relationship — personal and professional. But in service work especially — coaching, facilitation, consulting, healing, leadership, therapy, and more — the presence we bring to that container becomes everything. 

Your clients may think they are hiring you for your expertise, credentials, or methodologies. But what they’re actually paying for… is your presence. 

They’re paying for how safe, seen, and supported they feel with you.

They’re paying for how clearly and genuinely you hold space for them. 

They’re paying for how intentional and energetic and “clean” you are in your leadership — especially when things get messy.

They’re paying for the container you hold — and your ability to hold your own energy.

This is the difference between good work and great work. Between short-term results and deep, sustainable transformation.

And yet… energy and presence are often the last thing people think about when they are “doing their thing,” providing their services, or interacting with another human being.

Are you leading in a way that feels true to you?

In our recent Energy of Leadership — Live! session, we explored what authentic, lasting confidence in leadership really looks like — and what gets in the way.

One of the biggest takeaways?

Your confidence and congruence — your ability to show up aligned with who you are, what you believe, and how you lead — is the one thing no one can give or take away from you. It’s yours. You build it. You protect it. You embody it.

And yet, many leaders (especially high-achievers) unintentionally outsource their confidence.
