Energy Leadership

Over a hundred years ago, Albert Einstein turned the scientific community upside down, with a radical idea that everything we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell is not matter, but energy. Every thought you have has energy. Some of those thoughts are limiting, while others are empowering. Your limiting thoughts are comprised of catabolic energy - destructive energy that shows up as doubt, worry, guilt, regret, etc. Thoughts that motivate and inspire you are constructive and anabolic.

Leadership is the ability to inspire yourself, and others, and is determined by your energetic state (the amount of anabolic or catabolic energy present at any given moment). As a CEO, your leadership ability is predicated on your level of energy.

Energy leadership is a process that helps you become a better leader by raising your level of awareness. Our system has helped CEO’s and C-Suite executives influence people with far less stress and effort, by shifting them from a destructive, catabolic, state to a constructive anabolic state.

At a cellular level, catabolism refers to a breakdown of complex molecules. Limiting beliefs aren't just responsible for hindering your leadership, they are destroying your body. Research now shows that fear, which results in stress, releases hormones like cortisol that keep your body in a sympathetic "fight or flight" state.

Your sympathetic system is a great asset when you need a flood of adrenaline to get out of danger but is quite harmful to the body when overly activated. Our leadership assessment will pinpoint the catabolic thoughts that have been harming your body and hindering your success.

Anabolism is the opposite. It is growth oriented. Anabolic energy refers to the desires, and motivation that help you engagement with your teams and with life. A positive outlook is extremely anabolic. Studies now show that optimists live lives that are longer, happier and healthier than those with views that are more pessimistic. The field of neuroscience has been churning out an unprecedented amount of research showing the mind-body connection and how susceptible our bodies are to the power of our thoughts.

Science is now seeing how anabolic thoughts heal our bodies, by shifting our system from the sympathetic "fight or flight" state to a parasympathetic healing and recovery state. A positive attitude has thoughts that are soothing, relaxing, inspiring, motivating and uplifting. These thoughts are directly responsible for releasing the "happy state" neurotransmitters like endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine. These brain chemicals make you feel good and are essential if you want to lead optimally.

The apex CEO leadership development program uses the energy leadership process to help you and your team lead with more anabolic energy, and less catabolic energy. A significant part of that leadership development is executive coaching; reframing perspectives that are preventing you from performing optimally.

As you shift to a more anabolic state you will be able to influence and engage others with more energy and less stress. Your team’s energy will rise and you will become more productive, better at solving problems and happier and more connected with those around you.

We might think of them as just business owners, CEO's or C-Level executives at various levels, but leaders are visible everywhere. EVERYONE is a leader whether they believe it or not. If you don't see yourself as a leader, then you are limiting yourself and your organization. The question is not are you a leader, but how well do you lead?  

Teams are not limited to business. All the groups, organizations, and people around you are teams, too. It's the colleagues you work with and the family you go home to. Your teams include all those who are grouped within your many circles of influence: your family, the people you work with, the people at your church. We each belong to many teams.

The greatest threat to you, your environment, and our planet in general, is fear. It's the Stream of Unconsciousness that looks for: "What's wrong?" It's the perfectionist in us that sets unrealistic expectations for yourself and others that inevitably leads to frustration and disappointment. Many of us spend too much time in the Stream of Unconsciousness - with our family, our colleagues, our relationships, and our lives.

Eliminate the concept of perfection and you can remove the number one obstacle to your success and completely focus your energy on the task at hand. Worry, doubt, uncertainty and avoidance are not just stifling your success, they are polluting our entire economy. Studies today show that more than 50 percent of the people in our nation's workforce would choose, if they could, to quit their jobs.

The Stream of Consciousness is its constructive opposite. This stream is fed by creative and positive thinking that produces questions like "What's right," "What's the opportunity here," and "How can we make this work?" This is the process called Energy Leadership, and it can shift the pressure and negativity in your personal and professional life, as well as in our communities and the corporate world.

Energy Leadership can also help you become more productive by adopting a more constructive view of the organizations you work for and the people you live with. Energy Leadership can help you become a more powerful leader, one who is sophisticated, skilled, highly aware, visionary and versatile.

Want to shift to a more anabolic state immediately? Try the following:  

Get rid of your concept of perfection.  Eliminate all of your expectations.  Accept yourself and others and stop all

judging.  Focus on what you have - not what you

lack.  

Develop a habit of gratitude and appreciation.

Meditate, pray or get involved in an activity that can clear your mind (hobbies and pastimes are perfect!)

Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people.

The most successful CEOs and executives in the world truly enjoy what they do and they rarely feel like they are working. That shows up in their leadership and is why their companies do so well.
