At our IEP Method® training experiences, leaders take two days away from their day-to-day leadership demands to reset how they show up, how they lead, and how they connect. Below are a few of the biggest transformations our participants shared — moments that capture the power of Intentional Energetic Presence® in real life.     [Read More ›](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/inside-the-iep-immersion) In [Collaboration](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/collaboration)/ [IEP Method](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/iep-method)/ [Engagement](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/engagement)/ [Energy Leadership](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/energy-leadership)/ [Authenticity](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/authenticity)/ [Effective Leadership](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/effective-leadership) [![](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/hubfs/The%20Currency%20of%20Culture.png)](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/culture-currency) May 29, 2024  by [Jenny Wiley](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/author/jenny-wiley) ## [How Presence and Energetic Awareness Impacts Profitability](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/culture-currency) Is your organization focusing on the right objectives and outcomes when it comes to developing your workplace culture? Many companies may outwardly share that they care about its culture, values, and mission, yet the internal story for managers and employees doesn’t match this narrative. Typically, this disconnect is rooted in a lack of presence, accountability, and awareness of the energetic impact of each and every person in the company. In our latest panel discussion, you'll hear more about how a healthy workplace culture is an actual asset for companies that is not simply a ‘nice-to-have’ — it creates bottom-line impact and profitability. Special thanks to our panelists in this session: - Anese Cavanaugh — CEO of Active Choices, Inc., founder of the [IEP Method®](https://activechoices.com/iepmethod/) and the [Positive Energy Workplace Initiative™](https://activechoices.com/pew-initiative), and author of [Contagious Culture](https://activechoices.com/writing/contagious-culture/) and [Contagious You](https://activechoices.com/writing/contagious-you/) - Mariana Polic & Ivan Polic — Co-Founders of [Systemic Approach Institute](https://systemicapproachinstitute.com/) and [Jumpstart Your Exit](https://jumpstartyourexit.com/) Tune in to hear real-world examples to show how helping your employees and leaders focus on their intentions, energy, and presence can create a contagious and positive ripple effect for your company culture that is indispensable.

Energy can be a complex issue to assess and address; it's intangible and is frequently perceived as "woo woo," placing it low on the list of priorities for culture and leadership development. Yet the ability for companies to unlock the future comes down to the way people show up to every meeting, every Zoom call, every 1:1 interaction, and every work assignment. Tune in to learn insights on how to determine if an “energy crisis” is at the core of your culture issues, when and how to take action, and what to watch out for when considering bringing external experts or partners in for support.   [Read More ›](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/culture-webinar) In [Collaboration](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/collaboration)/ [IEP Method](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/iep-method)/ [Engagement](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/engagement)/ [Energy Leadership](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/energy-leadership)/ [Cultural Health](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/topic/cultural-health) [![](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/hubfs/IEP%20Method%20Leadership%20in%20Action.png)](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/iepmethod-panel) April 18, 2024  by [Jenny Wiley](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/author/jenny-wiley) ## [ACI Executive Symposium: IEP Method® Leadership Panel](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/iepmethod-panel) This month's executive symposium featured a panel discussion exploring how the [IEP Method®](https://blog.anesecavanaugh.com/new-to-iep) can be utilized in real-time to create healthier and authentically positive impact in the workplace.
