I get phone calls almost every week from people who are brilliant, in high positions, making great money, super talented, awesome ... but ... They're not quite having the impact they want to have. For some reason, it's just not happening.
Change Your Face, Change Your Impact.
Want Better Relationships? Mend Your Relational Energy (with Video)
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.
Over the last two weeks, I've shared three primary ingredients for building stronger leadership prowess as an individual and as a team. The three were: show up for yourself (addressed in part 1), show up as a team (addressed in part 2), and hold a big "container" (which we're diving into now).
The "container" I refer to is not about holding someone in a box or constraining your employees, but rather about creating more belief, possibility and space; what you believe is possible for them, how you regard them, the potential you see in them, and how you hold them as whole, wonderful, magnificent, and capable--or not. The ability to hold a safe container is one of your leadership super powers.
93% of Your Leadership Impact Is Going to Waste
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.
- How well they show up for themselves
- How well they show up as a team
- The size of the "container" they hold for each other and those they lead
In part one I gave you five places to look to nourish your own impact. This week I'm hitting up showing up as a team, and next week we'll wrap it up with ever awesome "Container Game".
