Low Battery Warning⚠️ 🪫

In the course of the average day, our cell phone battery will start to run low. If we have a higher usage day, that low battery comes earlier in the day.

Interestingly enough, our bodies can have a physiological response similar to receiving the "low battery warning" that flashes across our phones.📱

We begin to panic and look for our charger because God forbid…our phone dies 🏴‍☠️🪦

Yet, we can run ourselves down to the ground and pay no mind to our own internal low battery warning. 😵

Having an effective self-care routine has been shown to have a number of important health benefits which include:

• Reduced anxiety and depression

• Reduced stress and improved resilience

• Improved happiness

• Increased energy

• Decreased burnout

• Stronger interpersonal relationships

Pay attention to your internal battery level. 🔋Everyone's needs are a little different, but developing a self care routine will serve you in a variety of ways both physically and psychologically.

Am I losing my mind?

Imagine for a moment standing in the middle of a lush forest in Killarney, Ireland and in the distance you hear bagpipes playing. I literally think it’s some sort of Irish psychological effect until I see a young man in front of me actually playing. The societal conditioning kicked in and I quickly pulled out my phone to record (kidding…kind of).

In all fairness, it was a spiritual-like experience that I wanted to be able to share with my family (not present) and others. Something I may never have the opportunity to experience again.

My gift to you is the video. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. (Couldn't post the video directly on here, so had to link to my LI post with the video)

Have you ever thought about getting an Executive Coach?

Curious what the 2.0 version of you looks like? 

I have spent the last 20 years in business leaning in, learning, refining and evolving myself and my skills to be in service of others in their transformational journey. I help women and men acquire the mindset, skill set, and confidence to call up the greatness that is within them.

Executive Coaching is for purpose driven leaders who look to:

➡️ Take the next step into a senior or executive leadership role.

➡️ Improve their ability to create, implement, and execute on strategic initiatives.

➡️ Create a dynamic culture, reduce turnover and increase internal bench strength.

➡️ Optimize operational and sales processes that meaningfully grow their business and improve their bottom line.

Let’s set up a discovery call to see how we can get to that 2.0 version of you! 📈
