Energetic Leadership
Energetic Leadership
The energy we bring to life determines how we see the world, interpret things that happen, and our reaction to those things. Understanding the energy you bring to life is the first step to bringing about the life you truly desire—the energy we bring impacts all areas of life: work, family, and relationships. The Energetic Leadership program helps you understand the energy you bring to the world, work with the energy levels, and increase the energy you bring, helping you achieve your maximum potential and realize the life you want.
The energy we bring to life occurs in two forms: catabolic and anabolic energy. Catabolic energy manifests as a negative emotional response. You resonate with catabolic energy when you feel down, hopeless, lost, angry, or resentful. Staying at the catabolic energy levels can lead you to feelings of despair and helplessness. The catabolic energy levels make it difficult for you to see and act upon the possibilities and potential in your life. The Energetic Leadership program helps you understand your feelings and change your energy levels to help you become happier, healthier, and more optimistic about your life and how you engage with it.
Anabolic energy occurs as positive reactions to situations you face in life. Anabolic energy emerges as a sense of hope, optimism, and confidence, enabling you to take the steps necessary to realize your dreams. Anabolic energy helps you see the existing possibilities and, more importantly, provides the drive to bring those possibilities to life. The Energetic Leadership program empowers you to move from catabolic to anabolic energy levels, improving your opportunity to create your desired life.
As a leader, the levels of catabolic and anabolic energies you bring to the workplace significantly affect your team and others in the organization. Think about a time when your leader was down, pessimistic, or angry. What impact did the leader’s emotions have on you? Leaders bringing catabolic energy levels reduce the team’s ability to be creative, find solutions, and move the organization forward. When the leader brings anabolic energy to the team, positivity, optimism, and the belief in a positive outcome, others begin to believe. Your ability to understand your energy levels and how to change from catabolic to anabolic forms of energy drastically impacts your opportunities for success.
Self-awareness is instrumental for understanding the energy you bring to your work, family, and close relationships. The Energy Leadership Index Assessment (ELI) forms the foundation for understanding your energy profile. Your energetic profile consists of seven levels ranging from primarily catabolic, where possibilities and opportunities are hidden from your view, to fully anabolic, where opportunities and possibilities abound. The ELI helps you understand and appreciate the energy we typically bring to the world. The Energy Leadership program provides the knowledge and insights to work with your current energy levels and raise them from the catabolic to anabolic energy ranges to help you realize your fullest potential.
The self-awareness module examines internal conditions such as understanding your strengths and weaknesses, goals, values, and ethical and moral beliefs.

The self-awareness module explores the concept of emotional development and helps the participants create an action plan to enhance their emotional development to create emotionally intelligent responses to all situations.
Self-regulation refers to the ability to identify, control, and redirect disruptive emotions to act consistently with one's values towards valuable ends and to self-reflect, think, and suspend judgment before acting. The module provides skills and techniques to enhance the process of self-regulation and direct their responses toward positive outcomes.
Empathy involves the ability to understand and share the emotions of another and experience a situation from their perspective. Empathy bridges internal feelings and regulatory processes to the external social world. The module discusses the different types of empathetic responses, empathy enhancers, and empathy destroyers. The empathy module provides participants the insights to connect internal states effectively with external social conditions.

The social awareness module provides strategies and techniques to develop an understanding of the characteristics of the situation and skills for effective listening to enable the social awareness process.
