How to Up Your Energy Level at Work INSTANTLY!!!

The natural tendency of a leader’s schedule is to drift toward “have to’s” and away from “want to’s.”

Of course there are just some meetings we “have to” have, but the reality is, the bigger our organization gets, the more likely this “have to” creep gets. 

The problem is: The “have to” meetings drain us but the “want to” meetings energize us. 

Stack up too many “have to’s” and you’ll end up with less and less energy in your daily agenda. However, throw in a few “want to’s” and you’ll be amazed at how your energy goes up. 

For example: I love having meetings where hungry, teachable leaders ask me questions about leadership, marketing or future vision casting for their life or department. These meetings get me fired up to take on the world. 

So, my assistant Cheri knows that I’ve got to have a few of these sprinkled in to a month or else my enthusiasm for what we’re doing is going to begin to tail off.

Application:

? What about you? What kinds of meetings energize you? Do you need more of them in your schedule? Zoom forward in your calendar this week and schedule 3 meetings that energize you in the next 30 days. 

Watch what happens to your productivity on those days. 

Now, excuse me, I have to run to a meeting…

Have a great week.
