Energy is key to everything in leadership! When you are worn out, sick, or otherwise flat-lined, you are no good to anyone, and everything is a lot harder. There is more to energy management than just diet and exercise. In this episode I share the 12 simple strategies to create boundless energy. The three main strategies for energy boosting: give, receive, enhance. The four pillars of energy to hone: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual.

We balance our energy with giving and receiving; we expand our energy when we focus on enhancing it. Like the ocean - it ebbs and flows, and occasionally needs an influx of fresh water to help it replenish. As we go through each one, mark a tick where you are going well, and an x where you would like to improve.
