Human-Centric Leadership Podcast

Jun 22 2023 • 35 mins

Performance is just the things we’re doing. Who we are is who we are being while we do those things. In a continuation of our energy series, this episode explores the exciting world of human performance and what it means to step into your potential. Your mental ability and strength play such a big part in how you show up. Tuning in, you’ll hear Michelle Nicole’s simple equation for performance and the big fat secret of potential. Using the framework provided by the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), this episode unpacks the Seven Levels of Energy and the implications of each one. Listeners will also learn how rumination and stress can interfere with potential, why no energy level is superior, and how to assess where you spend most of your time. Michelle Nicole shares an inside look into the Performance Interference Breakthrough Session with listeners, which further unpacks these ideas and supports individuals as they leverage the power of Energy Levels for leadership.
