SHIFTING PERCEPTIONS
Traditional View
What you really look like
Energetic View
Energy emits 3 to 10 Feet
“Vibes” are REAL!
ENERGY AUDIT 4 minutes
CLARITY No try: do or not do
Transmitter Receiver
Imprinting mechanism:
sends, receives and stores information
NEGATIVE VIBES:
Critical, negative and judgmental people
Reduce effective communication, trust
POSITIVE VIBES
Open, receptive people
Communication improves, problem solving increases, trust levels rise
WHAT DO YOUR “VIBES” COMMUNICATE?
IMPACTING OTHERS AT WORK
Entering a room: Bored, Interested, Distracted, “walls up”, receptive?
Voice tone: loud, soft, sarcastic, negative all reflect your focus/energy
Body Language expresses your energy flow
Strategy:
Before entering a room: raise body, straighten spine, full breath, “quiet eyes”, “I’m receptive”
Shifting Arenas:
“60 second rule”: set the tone
Reduce tension, negativity, etc.
Impact of Valuing

Nutrition
Exercise
Muscle Tension/Stress/Fatigue***

•Tension reduces energy by up to 40% or more
•Weakens immune system,
•Disrupts mental function
“Body Armor”
Shrugged shoulders can reduce up to 30% of oxygen flow to the head
Facial tension causes eye strain, aging and decreased oxygen flow
Increase in facial tension causes an increase in Respiratory “resistance”Kotses H. Miller
Ohio University/Psychologist
•Eyes reflect AND alter emotional states
Anger Worry Happiness
• Change eye patterns and you can alter physiological states immediately!
“The Eye Wash” Exercise
Reduced facial tension Increases oxygen intake up to 35% and increases energy flow

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
- Calvin Coolidge

WHY DON’T WE?
• External ConstraintsProcessesPoliciesPolitics
Internal Constraints:
Self-Sabotage: Energy Drainers:
Excuse Making, Finger Pointing; Unaware of own potential
Poor work/recovery skills

Ineffective emotions
Physical energy depleted/fatigue
Why “Tips” Don’t Last!
“”That sounds great!”
“I’ll try that!”
