If you’ve ever been curious about where motivation comes from or had questions about why you always seem to perform so well under pressure, then this episode is for you! In today’s conversation, we kick off our energy series (and no, we’re not talking about the energy that gets you off the couch) by unpacking the concept of core energy and the many ways it informs our perception and shapes our actions. Tuning in, you’ll learn about the theories central to this topic, such as the strength versus shadow concept and the differences between anabolic and catabolic energy, before taking a detailed look at the seven levels of energy (and the energetic perception chart). We find out how the energy you put into the world gets reflected back at you, why the best leader is a self-aware leader, and how you can learn to understand your own energetic temperament. For a comprehensive overview of all these topics and key insights on how to become a better leader, be sure to tune in today!
