Energy Is The Currency Of The 21st Century

Okay, so for months the news has been about how "bad the economy is" or about "how many people XYZ company laid off." This energy is negative, fear-inducing and generative.So what is the balance point that we strike between staying informed and shielding ourselves from being deluged with this negative energy that effects our own energy and perspective? At best, it fuels us to seek opportunities to be creative. At worst, it feeds our anxieties and imaginations with the worst possible outcomes

.It's old news to say that we are all connected and one person can have an effect and impact on many. The real question to ponder as a leader is - how do you want to effect and impact those around you? Embedded in the answer to this question must be how you will work with your own energy to do this. During these turbulent, uncertain times, you need your own mechanisms for keeping your energy positive and vibrant - truly - and operating from the inside out. You can't give away what you don't have.

These times need the resiliency of vibrancy, flexibility and creativity - in order to survive and thrive as a leader and as a business. I invite you to ponder - what is your creative source and how are you tapping into it today? Do just one thing today that makes you feel truly alive and connected - whether it is indulging in that quick read that you want to savor before you do the dreaded report or spending a couple of minutes in small talk with your staff. These small things can have big pay backs in terms of shifting your energy, mood or perspective.
