Energy Sessions
Kinetic talks, working sessions and open spaces to help leaders understand and unlock organisational energy.
High-performing cultures, where teams help leaders solve complex problems – or stop them arising at all – are not fuelled by fear and bloody‑minded overwork.
Like people, they run on energy.
During Energy Sessions I share the principles of organisational energy.
I outline how to create the resilient metabolism common to high performance cultures.
And introduce frameworks and strategies for restoring the energy your organisation needs.
The work we do together will help you plan for action in three key areas.
Regaining balance
Mergers, acquisitions, restructures, changes in leadership: events like these can create disquiet, disrupt team dynamics and slow progress.
Discover tactics that help you to regain control and restore balance to businesses undergoing complicated change.
Recovering optimism
Change fatigue, churning cycles of strategy and unresolved conflict can drain the energy from your people and your organisation.
But energy doesn’t simply disappear. It hits blockages, failing to reach the parts that need fuel to operate well. Discover where those barriers are, and how to dissolve them. So you can begin to restore the belief that progress is possible.
Building high energy cultures
Culture is the central nervous system of a business. Like the human central nervous system, a healthy culture regulates responses, deals with changes and enables development.
Discover the attributes of a high energy, high performing culture and find out how strengthening different cultural attributes can help your team thrive.
Three levels of Energy Session
The Keynote
A bespoke, hour-long keynote that reframes the concept of energy – away from individual wellbeing, towards an important organisation-wide leadership issue.
Discover the factors that influence systemic energy levels.
Go back to work with fundamental concepts around energy at work – and practical frameworks for measuring and enhancing it.
The Half Day Energy Session
A deeper, more personalised exploration of organisational energy during which I share the Keynote – and then open up space to explore the energetic state of your teams and your organisation.
The One Day Energy Session
An invigorating day-long dive into the fundamentals of organisational energy.
Beginning with an organisational energy Keynote personalised to your organisation.
Then, armed with a new understanding of the key concepts behind organisational energy, we work through a diagnostic framework. We pinpoint the energy blockages that are slowing progress.
The day culminates in action planning.
Your leaders will leave with a clear plan to boost energy and make progress.
