About the Session
In this highly experiential session, you’ll dive into deeper awareness and intentional action by exploring your personal, team, and organizational energy and impact. Our goal is to support you in growing your Intentional Energetic Presence® (IEP) so you can lead effectively and show up as your best for yourself and others. Core focus areas include:
- Your performance, presence, and mindset as a leader, which are all interconnected and can amplify — or detract from — your energy, impact, and results.
- Your ability to remain resilient, clear, and focused in any situation, how to minimize the impact of disruptive energy from others, and channel a service mindset even in the midst of chaos, conflict, and change.
- Your ability to lead, command your energy, and attract/maintain the attention and presence of others to authentically connect and create a positive influence.
- How to develop your “Energetic Equity & Accountability” to support you in confidently navigating disruptive situations, circumstances, and dynamics that are often out of your control.
- How to develop your most essential power and leadership skills to command your energy effectively and expansively and accelerate your personal and professional goals.
- Your ability to identify and shift limiting behaviors and mindsets that may be damaging and detracting from your credibility, success, and impact as a leader.
PLUS, you’ll learn how to strengthen your organization’s cultural health and performance by leveraging all of these skills and ways of being so your people feel seen, heard, inspired, and energized to go above and beyond in their own performance.
