In today’s world, leaders who up-level their effectiveness and energy to realize their highest potential will enjoy the fruits of their efforts and success. Breaking through burnout, cultivating unshakeable habits, and leveraging regenerative solutions to manage stress and enhance energy are more crucial than ever before.
By tapping into what I call your ‘inner leadership landscape’ you can enjoy sustained success in leadership and life. Are you ready to unlock potential and a whole new level of leadership effectiveness and energy?
If so, let’s dive in.
How to Leverage Stress for Better Results?
Options and opportunities abound for those willing to address and adopt new skill sets that benefit both their immediate and distant futures.
Learning just one new skill set, practiced every day, can change how you live and lead for the rest of your life, with an everlasting ripple effect.
Because our brains operate in autopilot cycles and patterns that don’t signal when something is damaging, it’s up to us to initiate change.
The stress and fatigue that leave you feeling foggy, disconnected, and anxious are common, yet they drain your mental, emotional, and physical capacity. To lead effectively and reach your highest potential, you need a transformational strategy.
Feeling Safe is Necessary for Sustained Success
Feeling safe and in control is a primal instinct. Yet, leading from a headspace dominated by mental and emotional fatigue makes you feel exposed and anxious.
Making executive decisions need to come from the pre-frontal cortex, the part of the brain that performs the executive, innovative, rational functioning, however when you’re hijacked from lack of poor sleep, inflammation of the brain, and chronic stress, you begin to doubt your ability and your performance.
When you relate to yourself, others, and the world from dissonance, it forms an internal communication loop that increases depression, anxiety, and isolation.
Recalibrating and regulating your mind-body system to generate energy, strength, and alignment, will bring you back and make you feel capable, creative, and confident again. This sense of safety and security is essential for sustained success.
Leadership Resilience, Effectiveness, and Energy
The Loop of Leadership Efficacy is about consistently regulating and rewiring your mind-body system. Connecting your heart, mind, and body is the secret to living and leading in a dynamic and regenerative new way.
Did you know that your brain and heart have their own neural networks? It’s true and this is where the magic and secret lie in living and leading well from within.
When the heart and brain are in sync, you’re communicating at a level of coherence which results in optimal efficiency, executive functioning, and flow.
You can trust these facts as they were scientifically validated 25 years ago when HeartMath ™ published their findings in the Journal of Cardiology. This is in the field of neuroradiology and has become a mainstream personal and professional development training methodology used across the globe.
International leaders and companies have benefited from implementing HeartMath ™ to boost their leadership effectiveness and energy, resulting in a greater sense of vitality, calm, and resilience.
Your Inner Landscape Holds the Key to Your Success
There is beauty and freedom in knowing the answers to your health and success lie within and based on the research the results are immediate, accumulative, and transformative.
The secret to transforming your stress into well-being, higher personal and professional performance, and being in a position to control your life and future, is coherence. Coherence is the active\restful state where your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual domains come together.
It’s a state of neutrality that the mind-body systems thrive on and counteract stress hormone production. There is a personal energy and stress management tech device made by HeartMath® called the Inner Balance Trainer ™ I recommend to my clients and I recommend it to you.
Using this device two times a day, as soon as you wake up and before you go to bed will be the most beneficial action you can take if you want to improve your sleep, fatigue, depression, anxiety, relationships, performance, and well-being.
Building Leadership Resilience, Effectiveness, and Energy
The Inner Balance Trainer ™ is the perfect tech companion that provides you with the simple breathwork techniques you need to restore mental, emotional, and physical balance and resilience. The technology displays your heart rhythm, measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which indicates how emotional states affect your nervous system and how you feel.
Science reports that HRV is the leading indicator of health and vitality. The higher the HRV, the more energy, efficient, and effective you’ll be. When you carry more stress in your mind-body system, have sleepless nights, unable to emotionally regulate, the lower your HRV. This severely impacts how you feel and perform – especially as it relates to building and leveraging resilience.
As a HeartMath® coach\ trainer, this device is the single most effective way I know to transform your life, work, and the world. Like a smile, stress is contagious and if your lack of leadership effectiveness and energy has been affecting you, it’s without a doubt been affecting others, too.
