What is Energy Leadership?

  • Before we explore the rest of what Energy Leadership is let’s define the two key underlined terms above.
  • EVERYONE is a leader either by choice or default.
    • Leadership is how you interact with everyone, including yourself. Leaders are quite visible within small and large businesses. Anyone who interacts with people on a regular basis is a leader.
  • If you don’t think of yourself as a leader, then you are limited in your thinking. Leading is the way we help move people, including ourselves, into action. The question is not whether or not we are leaders, but how well we lead.
  • Each of us is a part of many organizations
    • Organizations are not limited to business. All of the groups, teams, and people around you are organizations, too.  Your organization includes all those who are grouped within your many circles of influence.

There are 2 Streams. Which one do you swim in?

  • A relentlessly damaging stream is flowing through America. This stream is not created by water, but by fear. It is the Stream of Unconsciousness.
  • Its constructive counterpart, the Stream of Consciousness, flows through only a few of the world’s homes and organizations and is fed by creative and positive thinking that produces questions like “What’s right,” “What’s the opportunity here,” and “How can we make this work?” In contrast, the Stream of Unconsciousness is based on only one question: “What’s wrong?” This stream is the one most of us have been trained to see, listen to, drink from, and bathe in since birth.

During any typical workday, most people spend a great deal of time focusing on what’s wrong

  • with their family, their jobs, their projects, their colleagues, their relationships, and their lives. At work, it’s not surprising that studies show that more than 50 percent of the people in our nation’s workforce would choose, if they could, to quit their jobs.

Everything that “matters” is energy.

  • More than a hundred years ago, Albert Einstein addressed the scientific community, passionately presenting the idea that everything we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell is not matter, but energy.
  • Learn to recognize your energy so you may focus on what matters to you and those around you.
