Energy Management
Your Core Energy Determines your Full Potential
'Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality.
This is not philosophy. This is physics.'
- Albert Einstein.
Core Energy is the energy that is at the core of thoughts, emotions, and actions that relate to how people see themselves, those around them, and the world itself. Your core energy is where your energy is focused at any given time and has a tremendous influence on your performance as a person, leader, parent... , and indeed, in all aspects of your life and work.
Energy is being influenced by external or internal factors. Consider 'core' as 'total' energy available in any given moment. It's the 'core' of that drives performance, always.
Energy attracts like energy.
Audit the Energy level you, your team and your organization has. Understanding energy you have is the first step, followed with managing that energy. Awareness is first step to mastery. Let's get started.

7 LEVELS OF ENERGY
How are you and your team showing up today?
Energy influences how we act because it forms the “lens” through which we perceive the world.
We use seven different energy “levels” to describe the types of energy a person experiences and expresses. Here’s how someone experiencing each level of energy might react in a situation where they are on a team with a co-worker who is very forceful and directive.

TYPE OF ENERGY
Catabolic - which is reactive, destructive and draining, giving limited view to the situation, reducing your choices. It impacts mental, physical, emotional health. The first two levels of energy are highly catabolic and are common under stress, producing catabolic (disruptive) hormones to push through the stress.
Anabolic, which is intentional, constructive, healing, a building force, helps moving forward, and achieve powerful and sustainable results in life and business. Anabolic energy is the cornerstone of high performance in everything.
You have a choice. It is like a pair of glasses, if you put on the pink glasses you see the world pink.
'You attract who you are, not what we want'.
Design the life and business you dream of by understanding, managing, and shifting energy one level at a time for yourself, your team, your family.
Remember, we are not one Energy level.
There’s no "good" or "bad" energy.
Both kinds are necessary.
We need to access catabolic energy to meet survival needs. But we wouldn’t want to live in catabolic energy all the time.
Anabolic energy allows us to relax into our lives and promote collaboration around us.
The beauty of both is that we master managing our energy. We can consciously choose which energy will lead us to more joy, and more productivity.
What does your daily energetic makeup look like? It is a reflection of WHO we currently believe we are. This determines our overall attitude and the way we perceive, approach and react to life.
Energize and fuel yourself and your team. Understand how your energy potential can accelerate your life and business.
