ABOUT THE BOOK: The Energy Advantage (Link to purchase)
How do you maximize your success and impact as a leader while maintaining your stamina and sanity? The answer doesn’t lie in simple “efficiency.” It’s not about making better use of your time and resources. It’s about understanding how energy works and how to tap into its power.
Many people live lives of intense and false emotional compartmentalization. For example, they strive to be one person in the corner office (invincible warrior) and another at the dinner table (sensitive spouse), and they struggle to keep those two lives from bleeding into and contradicting each other. But as it turns out, this takes tremendous energy and is almost always impossible. One person can’t be two different people.
So, how do you live an integrated life of fulfillment, purpose, and success? How do you create an alignment between your head, heart, and creative power that is in coherence with your true self? The answer is simple and complex: You must move from managing your time to mastering your energy.
For more than a decade and a half, Ricardo Sunderland has worked with the leaders of some of the world's largest and most recognizable companies. He has learned firsthand that mental and physical energy are no longer all that is needed for success for today's leaders—at all levels in their organizations. Today’s leaders must bring emotional and spiritual energy to their roles and create a space in which they and their team members feel safe to challenge each other, grow together, and thrive.
Given this significant leadership challenge, leaders must gain an energy advantage.
You will learn:
What gives you energy?
How to identify the energy blockers that are holding you back.
Every situation presents a choice for you to unlock the transformational energy source within you.
The path to gaining the energy advantage on seven distinct levels.
