The Energy to Lead

Who’s fired up today? I hope so! I want to talk about two important things with you–Leadership and Energy. Last I checked, we could all use more great energy these days. And leadership is always valuable and worth discussing. 

Specifically, I want to talk about the relationship between energy, leadership, business, success, and results today. Regardless of the industry, sector, or career you’re in, there is no doubt that your energy, communication, and leadership play paramount roles in creating the peace, happiness, success, and fulfillment you desire in life.

Today’s episode is a favorite as I have a special guest on the IMPACT SHOW. Natalie Peterson is not only a leadership and stamina coach with 15 years of experience in organizational development, but she is also a former employee of Fitness Quest 10 & Todd Durkin Enterprises for many years. So be ready for some great stories, many funny and some not so funny! 

Natalie and I are going to go deep in conversation about: 

  • The IMPACT Natalie had on Fitness Quest 10 & Todd Durkin Enterprises. We also share some great lessons & stories on leadership and energy, despite her sharing some good dirt on me.
  • How she became a Human Performance Coach & a Leadership Strategy Consultant.
  • Top leadership skills for lasting IMPACT and the 3 enemies of being present.
  • What great leadership & communication looks like today and how that’s different than even a few years ago.
  • One of my biggest pet peeves when on a ZOOM call or meeting.
  • The importance behind effective leaders practicing self-care, taking breaks, and breathwork.
  • How to create energy that is sustainable, consistent, genuine, positive, and contagious. Yes, positively contagious!
  • Why she loves Ted Lasso and how those lessons apply today in leadership.
  • Why it’s important to do things right the first time you do them.

Enjoy today’s SHOW. It’s full of great content on leadership, high performance, and getting results in today’s new business climate.
