ENERGIZE AND BE UNSTOPPABLE!

"Energy is passion in motion - the secret ingredient for turning opportunities into achievements."

Today, let’s dive into the second pillar of becoming the C.E.O. of your career: ENERGIZED.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt the mood shift—either positively or negatively because of someone’s presence? That someone might’ve been a colleague, a manager, or maybe even…YOU!

Here’s the truth: your energy is your superpower, and it directly influences your success, especially in your career.

Research shows that individuals with high energy levels are 20% more likely to be perceived as leaders by their peers.

Imagine a day at work:

• Your team is tackling a tough deadline.
• One team member (or maybe you) walks in, drained, sighing, and disengaged.
• What happens next? A domino effect of disengagement.

Now, picture the opposite:

• You walk in energized, focused, and upbeat.
• Suddenly, there’s renewed energy. Conversations turn solutions-oriented. The team feels empowered.

This isn’t magic; it’s energy dynamics at work.

When you are energized, you inspire creativity, collaboration, and even confidence in those around you. On the flip side, low energy can dampen enthusiasm and slow momentum.

Your career is like a business. To be the CEO of it, you need to manage your most valuable resource: your energy. By becoming more aware of your energy levels and managing them strategically, you set yourself up for better productivity and growth.

A quick way to boost your energy levels is to identify your energy boosters & drainers both at work and outside of work.

Energy Boosters:

• Activities that fuel me (e.g., brainstorming, exercising, collaborating)
• People who energize me
• Habits that keep me motivated

Energy Drainers:

• Tasks that deplete me (e.g., excessive meetings, multitasking)
• Behaviors that lower my energy (e.g., procrastination, overthinking)
• People or situations that sap my enthusiasm

Personal Action Plan:

Take a moment to do an energy check-in.
