The Positive Energy Workplace

You can’t lead at full capacity from an empty tank. Join the in-person experience that refuels your leadership — and reboots your growth trajectory.

Let’s be honest: leadership isn’t getting easier. It’s getting deeper, more human, more energetically complex — and more consequential.

Whether you’re running a team, a company, or a movement, the question I hear over and over is this:

“How do I lead powerfully while also staying grounded, clear, and well?”

The truth? You can’t think your way into becoming the leader you want to be. You have to embody it — and that’s exactly what the IEP Immersion Experience is designed for.

The Self-Study Leader vs. The In-Room Leader

One of our participants once spent months trying to integrate IEP work on her own — reading the books, journaling, even using the IEP Sheet regularly. And she did make progress: she felt clearer, more intentional, more present.

But when she finally joined us for an in-person immersion, she said:

“Now I get it. It’s not just the tools — it’s the energy. The presence. Being in the room with you and others doing the work together… I shifted patterns in two days that I couldn’t touch in six months alone.”

This isn’t about more information. It’s about transformation in the moment — when your energy, awareness, and nervous system are all present.

That’s how new patterns take root. Not through theory — but through experience.

This Is Why In-Person Changes Everything

When you're in the room, we don’t just talk about your leadership energy — we work on it.

In real time.
With real people.
With Anese — guiding, coaching, and walking the path with you.

You’ll move through interactive frameworks, deep reflection, real coaching, and new energetic territory that allows your leadership to click into alignment — not just intellectually, but physically and emotionally.

You’ll walk out clearer, lighter, more grounded — and with tools you can actually use the next day (and years later).

About the September IEP Immersion

Dates: September 18–19
Location: Northern California
Format: 2-day in-person intensive (plus integration tools + vitality amenities)
Facilitator: Anese Cavanaugh, in the room with you, fully engaged.

• Day 1 is all about your leadership energy — your internal fuel, your balance, and building your capacity to stay grounded and resilient.
• Day 2 turns outward — we’ll work with the real-time complexities leaders are navigating now: leading hybrid teams, navigating retention, integrating AI, merging generations, and showing up with the kind of presence that modern leadership (and sales) now demands.

You’ll also have access to biohacking and vitality tools — including the fitness center, cold plunges, sauna, group breathwork, EES sessions, and nourishing food designed to fuel your brain and body.

The Results Speak for Themselves

One leader said:

“I wasn’t sure what to expect or if spending time on the ‘intangibles’ would be worth the investment — but this experience completely changed how I interact with my team and clients. I made back 30x my investment before I even got on the train to go home.”

How?

During a break, she used the IEP Sheet and tools she learned on Day Two to reset her presence and close a deal.

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.

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.

What kind of impact do you intend to have today?

It’s one thing to mean well — it’s another to actually create the impact you want.

Setting clear intentions (whether for yourself or with your team) saves time, energy, and resources while bringing focus and alignment.

You are always making an impact, and you have the power to consciously set an intention for how you want to experience each moment and how you show up for others. If you don't set a conscious intention, the default, unconscious intention takes over — leading to the feeling that "life is happening TO me."

The IEP Method® (Intentional Energetic Presence®), created by Anese and used by Active Choices, Inc., includes the 5 Steps to Intentional Impact to help you show up intentionally and create the impact you want. 

With packed schedules, back-to-back meetings, and dynamic challenges, it can be hard to stay present and intentional. That’s why these five steps are so valuable to practice personally and with your team.

Happy 2025! As we step into a new year, I want to begin with a heartfelt thank-you for being here and for engaging with this work. Today, I’m sharing some reflections, a look at recent changes within our organization, and an invitation to consider how you’re choosing to lead this year.
