Energy is Contagious
There is a lot going on this week. Everyone is really getting in the grove and things are starting to feel more back to normal than they have in a long time. As we start winding down the year and headed into the holiday season things will begin to speed up and our interactions with people and family will increase.
The two things I am trying to focus on is to remind myself that energy is contagious. I want to spread energy that created momentum and drives passion. I want to leave the room better than they came in to the room. This of course means and brings me to the second thing… I need to fill my cup to be able to pour into others.
Energy is not an endless resource. It needs to be continually replenished and restored. Where can you focus to create momentum on your team and share positive energy? Where and how do you need to replenish your energy so your cup is full?

Leadership presence is the aggregate of these three things: what you believe, how you communicate, and the energy you express to others.
What message is my physical energy giving? Be cognizant of the energy being given and the message it sends. Does my energy align with the message I want to send?

You always think you have more time than you do
Don’t waste the moments. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the average person only gets 4,000 weeks to live their life (that’s 76.9 years for anyone who doesn’t want to open up their calculator app).
Talent does matter, but it has to be supplemented with an amazing work ethic.
