Key Highlights & Quotable Moments:

(04:30) What is the IEP Method®, and why is it important in our conversation about creating a healthy company culture?

(06:18) The importance of focusing on energy in leadership and the health of your workforce (versus engagement) to create more safety, creativity, and innovation.

"Some people may have historically called some of this soft skills. These are power skills that are financially distinguishing factors that make a difference in every organization. Every company needs to have this."
— Mick Lee

"Every one of us has the ability to lead in every discussion that we're having in every meeting that we're in and every situation we're in, how we show up matters." — Mick Lee

(42:00) Slowing down as a leader and creating space for receptivity and growth.

"Learning to receive recognition is a big piece of what [ACI teaches] in their trainings. How do you receive that information? What does it mean to you? Are you taking in? Are you hearing it? And once I put that lens on and was honest with myself to see when I take in, I realized that I'm really good at hearing the negative, but I don't always hear the positive." — Kim Ahearn

(47:00) Leadership insights and best practices for showing up with aligned intentions, energy, and presence.

"A shortcut to noticing if your mental and emotional energy is being drained is to ask yourself: 'Is the way I'm talking to myself... receiving feedback... being in relationship with others... creating expansion or contraction?'"  — Anese Cavanaugh

(50:00) Considering the IEP Eco-System in your energetic awareness. (Pro Tip: Check out more insights on the Organizational IEP Eco-System here!)

(53:00) The badge of 'busy' and preventing burnout.

"A huge a-ha moment for me was that 'busy' is causing burnout. Busy is causing stress. Busy is causing contention within teams, busy causes blame. And when you base your professional self worth or personal self worth on busy, it's an unhealthy mindset." — Woodson Witt

(58:00) The tangible personal and organizational impact of using the IEP Method® to support navigating a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

"Once I rebooted, it brought me back to center and it gave me courage again, and it allowed me to set my intentions. Once I set my intentions, I walked in every day of the 13-day trial and I was able to connect authentically with the jury. I felt at peace with what was going on. I felt in a state of truth." — Woodson Witt

(01:07:00) The cumulative effect of practicing the IEP Method and building healthy habits for yourself and your team.

(01:10:00) The cost of disengagement and not focusing on the energy of your workforce.
