We are in the Era of Exhaustion. The Engagement Paradoxand Beyond Engagement  are some of my writings which share simple ways to increase your personal energy right now!

Exhausted? Need a quick energy boost?

Sync to your instincts.

Here’s why:
       
If you could look at an EEG brain scan of yourself engaging in two different tasks, you would see something intriguing.

•       When engaged in a task that’s well-matched to your talents, the brain waves would look smooth and predictable.
•       When engaged in a task that’s not well-matched, the brain waves would look erratic, full of wild spikes and dips.

Here’s why this matters. When you are doing what you’re “wired” to do at work, your brain functions with efficiency, and one unit of energy can produce multiple units of results.

Conversely, when your job is ill-fitting and poorly matched to your talents and passions, your brain goes into an erratic, dithering pattern and it takes multiple units of energy to produce one unit of results. This produces exhaustion.

Get energized! Here’s what you can do right now:

If you have 60 minutes, use it to synch to your instincts and discover that sweet spot: where what you’re doing is matched to your talents and passions.

Book a one-hour conversation with a career coach. Together, you can identify your unique strengths and the type of job or career that will allow maximum contribution with minimum energy load.
