Over the past 7 days, I’ve heard so many examples of why people reach out.
· I’m not skilled enough for the next role.
· I’m at the crossroads and can’t decide.
· I’m not sure if I want the responsibility.
· I feel like I’ve stagnated.
ENERGY - THE NUMBER ONE NEED IN LEADERSHIP
ENERGY
You know when it’s in abundance
And you really know when it’s absent
Leaping into LEADERSHIP requires a large percentage of your time
And time is fuelled by ENERGY – your energy & the ENERGY of others
Producing & being in control of your own ENERGY is beneficial when you’re the LEADER.
What’s in your ENERGY Bank Account?
And what’s the source of your ENERGY?
These two questions show up when I work with leaders
No matter what’s going on in life … ENERGY is a common denominator
Drill down further using my ENERGY audit:
When do you have the most ENERGY?
What’s going on when you feel depleted of ENERGY?
How are you feeding your ENERGY?
How’s your sleep?
Uncovering these responses will illuminate when you do your best work & the attention you need to give to yourself.
Your ENERGY is contagious
It’s ideal if it’s a positive ENERGY
Essentially, ENERGY enables the void between ambition & ability to occur.
If you feel lethargic, tired & the tank is empty, you can’t give LEADERSHIP.
During your day, give thought to your ENERGY levels – start by considering if you woke up feeling ENERGIZED.
When fully charged, you’re in a position to tackle the opportunities, challenges & difficulties you encounter in your role as Leader.

People who make excuses for their poor SLEEPING HABITS, even wearing an ‘I’m an Insomniac’ badge don’t get our sympathy.
Here are the facts, science & research:
· Melatonin is produced in conditions of darkness – it’s secreted from a small pea sized part of the brain & we need melatonin to SLEEP
· We disrupt the natural science of our own SLEEP i.e. double-screening in bed watching Netflix with the lights on
