Clarity, Energy, and Practical Tools
This month’s newsletter focuses on what helps busy teams thrive day to day. We start with a quick leadership insight on noticing your energy, with an Energy Audit to spot overextension and build sustainable habits. We are opening our Real EQ: Stop Over-Functioning workshop to the public for the first time, with practical language and tools you can use right away. And on Inner Work, Eric Nehrlich joins us to explore choice, identity, and how high performance can mask burnout. Dive in, take what you need, and keep your team moving with clarity and care.
Energy Insight
When you pay attention to your energy, you create leverage. Our free Energy Audit helps you spot burnout early by revealing where you may be overextending, then guides you to restore your energy with practical habits and clear boundaries that keep work and life in balance. The result is lasting resilience: tools to manage your energy more effectively so you can sustain high performance without constant exhaustion.
For a quick daily energy reset, add a one-minute box breath between meetings: inhale 4 counts, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4, and repeat.
