What Is Energy Leadership?​

Energy Leadership^TM is the process that develops a personally effective style of leadership that positively influences and changes not only yourself, but also those with whom you work and interact, as well as your organization as a whole.

Before we explore the rest of what Energy Leadership may have to offer you, let's define the two key underlined terms above.

Organization: Organizations are not limited to business.  All of the groups, teams, and people around you are organizations, too. It's the colleagues you work with and the family you go home to.  Your organization includes all those who are grouped within your many circles of influence. Each of us is a part of many organizations.

Leadership:  Leadership is how you interact with everyone, including yourself.  Leaders are quite visible within small and large businesses. We tend to think of them as business owners and CEO's and managers at various levels. Traditionally, leadership also extends into politics and other global affairs.  However, parents, therapists and health care providers, solopreneurs, sports coaches, consultants, mentors, partners in relationship, teachers, authors, and others who interact with people on a regular basis are all leaders. EVERYONE is a leader either by choice or default.

 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.

There are 2 Streams. Which One Do You Swim In?

A relentlessly damaging stream is flowing through Earth. 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.

What will it take to shift the pressure and negativity that surrounds not only corporate America but our personal lives and the state of our communities anywhere in the world? 

What will help people and employees to be productive, fulfilled, and have a positive view of both the organizations they work for and their personal and professional relationships?  

It will take a powerful leader who is skilled, highly sophisticated, and versatile, and one who understands the power of energy.

Catabolic and Anabolic Energy

The 2 Forces That Create Your World-Every Minute of Every Day

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.  Everything that "matters" is energy. 

 On an energetic and cellular level, catabolism usually refers to a breakdown of complex molecules, while anabolism is the opposite.  When you hear about a person's catabolic or anabolic energy, however, it's a broader statement about destructive and constructive forces in an entire person, who is made up not only of individual cells but also of anabolic and catabolic thoughts and beliefs.  

 Anabolic and Catabolic energy are predominant in organizations as well as people. Many organizations experience catabolic energy by constantly reacting to their circumstances with worry, fear, doubt, anger, and guilt.  And thoughts are indeed contagious. 

When even a few people in any organization have negative feelings, it can spread like a virus. "Group think" sets in, and their thoughts become group "fact."  Once that occurs, the organization can implode energetically in a swirl of gossip, negativity, conflict and contempt. 

Remember that "group think" begins with "leader think". At its core, an organization strongly reflects how its leader thinks, feels, and acts. 

Anabolic leaders have the ability to motivate and inspire themselves and others to do extraordinary things. They have the ability to make energetic shifts in all levels of the organization.

The most successful organizations are those that are filled with powerful, positive, anabolic leaders, and that means everyone in the organization, not just the "ones at the top." 

No matter how effective or ineffective you currently are in your role or relationships, you can transform yourself and others, as well as your organization, into a thriving, inspired, positive, productive, and successful entity. And, thus begins your journey to become the Ideal Leader.

The Energy Leadership Development System is firmly rooted in 7 levels of awareness, which will catapult your energy and performance to a level that is perceived by all those around you as the "ideal" for your role.

Energy Leadership™ Index Assessment:

A Mirror That Reflects Your World

The Energy Leadership Index (E.L.I.) is a one-of-a-kind assessment that enables leaders to hold up mirrors to their perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and overall leadership capabilities. It is the only assessment of its kind and one that has a complete, clear, customized coaching program associated with it. The coaching program is the Energy Leadership Development System. This system is made of an introduction and twelve developmental segments. The program is completely customized to each leader, and offers a baseline for current level of awareness, performance, and effectiveness. Leaders create their personalized developmental roadmap and quickly progress toward becoming an Ideal Leader. There are two versions of this assessment: Individual and 360. The difference with the 360 version is that, in addition to the self-assessment, you get to invite up to 10 people you trust to assess you objectively. We then gather all the insights and use it to develop an excellent roadmap for your growth and evolution.
