MANAGING PERSONAL ENERGY

The science of stamina has advanced to the point where individuals, teams, and whole organizations can, with some straightforward interventions, significantly increase their capacity to get things done.

Time is a finite resource, but energy is different. Your energy comes from 4 areas: body, emotion, mind, and spirit. In this workshop, you will see practical examples of how people generate more energy in these areas. You are in control! You can figure out what has impact on your energy level and choose how to adjust it.

POWERFUL QUESTIONS

The usefulness of the knowledge we acquire and the effectiveness of the actions we take depend on the quality of the questions we ask. Questions open the door to dialogue and discov- ery.

Using an adaptable delegation process, you’ll plan and prepare for giving assignments and structure tasks that develop others. By employing an empowerment cycle, you can communicate clear expectations about performance standards.
