One of the most important decisions a company makes is who they select to fill their leadership positions. However, according to Gallup, they fail to choose the candidate with the right talent for the job 82% of the time. The truth is, these decisions are made on unproven methods that rarely yield good results.

You know you are ready and want to broaden your responsibilities to make a greater impact, but you feel stuck in your role. You might even see others being promoted into positions for reasons you cannot understand. You have been a dedicated, strong advocate for your company and are passionate about what you do but the messages you are receiving are completely mixed and it continues to get harder and harder to stay positive.

Like Einstein and many scientists who followed have told us, everything in this universe, including us, is vibrating energy. We are energetic beings, and based on how we think, feel, and act, we are constantly experiencing and sharing either anabolic energy, which works for us, or catabolic energy, which works against us. Your level of energy drives the impact you have on others.

The good news is, you can intentionally choose the level of energy you bring but, it all starts with your level of consciousness.

During my live session last week I had a great question - “How can I change the energy I show up with”? Here is my answer: Your thoughts - what you tell yourself, determine how you feel and how you feel drives the action you take and ultimately how you show up. To change how you show up, you have to first understand how your thoughts are driving your actions. Once you can do that you will be able to be more intentional about your thoughts.
