  9. Challenges to Full Engagement

  10. Solution: Oscillation (stress & recovery) STRATEGIC RECOVERY

  11. Linearity leads to serious disengagement Too much stress with too little recovery (overuse) OR Too much recovery with too little stress (underuse) will compromise performance

  12. Typical Business Professional Not enough stress Not enough recovery 12

  13. Solution: Oscillation (manage & expand) Oscillation in ALL Dimensions! Growth follows Stress, if and only if, __________!

  14. Physical Dimension • Nutrition • Fitness/Movement • Sleep

  15. Nutrition: How & When? Eat Light & Eat Often Eat every 3 hours +/- 1 hour Never go more than 4 hours without eating! Break the Fast – never skip b’fast (< 2hrs)

  16. Movement for Energy Management • Benefits of simply moving: • Improved blood circulation • Increased metabolism • Increased energy levels

  17. Move! How often? • Every 30-45 minutes: stretching and/or small movements • Every 90-120 minutes: large movements How much? • 5-15 minute movement breaks • Low to moderate intensity • Some movement is better than no movement

  18. Strategic Movement (examples): • Take the stairs, not the elevator • Take a walk after lunch • Walk to another department, don’t e-mail • Take a shower, not a bath • Avoid drive-through facilities • Fitness is another topic (remember Oscillation & Expansion!)

  19. SLEEP • Period of planned non-movement • Recover energy • Grow and repair Lack of sleep makes you very slow and very stupid, and you don’t even know it!

  20. Physical Rituals* Brainstorm with 1-2 others, then commit to 2-3 rituals to begin to work on restoring/increasing your PHYSICAL energy write them down. 20

  21. Rituals* Habits Non-conscious routines that may or may not serve an overall significant purpose Rituals Consciously acquired routines that serve a purpose significant to you Goal = turn Rituals into Habits (that serve your purpose).

  22. Emotional Dimension • Emotional Intelligence • Interpersonal effectiveness • Connection (to others) • Confidence

  24. Emotions that optimize performance, health, & happiness -- Practice! • Hope • Gratitude • Compassion • Realistic optimism • Challenge/sense of adventure

  25. Begin/End every day for the next week by spending 5 minutes thinking about: What’s going well? What are you truly grateful for? (people – family, friends, co-workers. Opportunities, Health, etc etc) e.g., What are you grateful for?

  26. Mental Dimension • Fully present moment to moment • Laser-focus • Skillful storytelling • Full awareness

  27. MULTI-TASKING Multi-tasking is the Enemy of Extraordinary Energy • The human system performs best when we are laser focused • We are either focused or not focused

  28. What is Multi-tasking? • Simultaneous processing of two or more unrelated tasks • Result is poor energy management and not fully engaged in either task • E.g. - talking on a cell phone while driving a car, talking to a direct report and checking e-mail What is NOT Multi-tasking? • Sequential processing of two or more unrelated tasks • Result is strategic energy management and full engagement in each task • E.g. - checking e-mail for a specific time period, then immediately turning to work on a project for a specific time period
