The Positive Energy Workplace

I get questions from subscribers and participants all the time about random things that relate to leadership, presence, energy, collaboration, dealing with their mom, changing something that they're afraid to change, etc. All sorts of Qs. I try to respond to every single one. Sometimes these Qs inspire articles. Sometimes an exercise. Sometimes a post. You just never know...

Today I thought I'd start sharing some of these in simplest form with the intention that there just might be something gold in here for you. If this is helpful to you, and you like this format, let me know—like it, share it, whatever your fancy—and I'll keep doing it.

Let’s talk relationships.

In the IEP model, you’ve got four different quadrants that make up your energetic presence:

• Physical/Environmental
• Mental/Emotional
• Vibrational
• Relational

They all interact with each other and have an impact on each other. Work on just one...you impact the others too.

Relational Energy is one of the most important pieces in the IEP model.

What if I told you that you’re leaving a TON of potential impact, revenue and connection on the table?

Regardless of your leadership prowess—no matter how great it is—if your intention, energy, and presence aren't in alignment, you're leaving a ton of opportunity on the table. We are ALWAYS having an impact. Whether you're leading a meeting, or sitting in the back of the room—you're having an impact on your own experience, and the people around you.

This is your SUPERPOWER.

Taking 5 minutes to check in before you dive in can be the difference between chaos and grace.

Heading into a meeting, a conversation, or a meal with your boss, your team, or your kid? Here are three quick and dirty things you must do to make that meeting not only productive, but enjoyable as well.

Are you the lowest vibration in the room?

Have you ever been in a meeting where 8 people in the room are really showing up and feeling great, but one or two people seem to be committed to taking all of the energy in the room? They’re unengaged, slumping, buried in their phones, grousing? That’s the lowest vibration in the room. And it has the gravity of a collapsed star.
