Episode #12 Description & Links

Let’s own your power of presence again and learn how to manage your energy wisely, the most valuable asset there is.

The latest studies indicate again, that work is the primary source of stress in people's lives, accounting for nearly 80% of stress-related issues. This leads to approximately 17 million sick days annually due to work-related stress, anxiety, or depression. (According to spill.chat workplace-stress-statistics)

If you are reading this, it is likely that you are a high-performing individual, occupying a leadership or board position, or holding a CEO, athlete, or ambitious entrepreneur role.

It is likely that you are also at the top of the list in terms of work-related stress statistics. A recent Harvard Business Review study revealed that over 53% of managers and high-level executives are experiencing burnout or a constant state of stress.

With this in mind, I want to put into perspective that: simply DOING MORE of the same will NOT lead to the desired outcome, get the job done or solve the problem better.

Thats why this episode is designed to share the most effective technique I have discovered to reduce stress levels and elevate one to the top 1% of leaders, who are respected, appreciated, and sought out for advice.

And, of course, I want you to leave you with a wealth of knowledge and practical advice, so you not only going to know better but actually are inspired to take ACTION and DO BETTER immediately.

With this link I have provided a downloadable worksheet for in-depth reflection for you for free:

You will learn how to:

1.) own the power of presence again to become the most magnetic and engaging leader you can be.

2.) you learn and discover how to evolve from time management to energy management and optimize your most valuable assets you own.

I'd love to hear from you! If you have any requests, questions, or feedback, I will be happy to address them in live coaching or FAQ sessions within the next episodes.

Let’s clear the struggles with successful communication.

In my eyes, communication is the most necessary yet complex art and science of human interaction.

I cannot emphasize enough how important communication is, it literally means life or death, not only centuries ago, but even today.

It is called "SPELL-ING" for a reason, because words can literally speak life or death into you and another person. If you think about it, words are actually the most powerful weapons in the world because they lead the way to future manifestations.

In this episode I want you to become more aware of how powerful and impactful your communication, even in the form of non-verbal communication (like ignoring, stonewalling, etc.) is on yourself and other people.

So here are my recommendations for powerful, uplifting and successful communication:

1.) Be & show up present, respectful and appreciative. If you're in a meeting or conversation, put down your laptop, turn off your phone. Focus on the task at hand, keep your head up, approach the person with warm, open eye contact and body language, sit down, listen, and engage purposefully to the participants, so that the meeting and the outcome will be the most effective and successful.

2.) Be intentional & clear with your message. How often do you really prepare for a meeting or conversation? What is the message I want to convey, what do I want to accomplish? Do I just want to inform, or does my message come with clear demands and tasks for the audience? If so, do I make my expectations clear to the other person? If not, this is the first step towards miscommunication and an unfruitful outcome.

3.) Prepare your message based on who you're talking to. More important than understanding our message is making sure the other person understands it. So be really intentional about crafting your words to meet the communication needs of the other person. How do you have to talk to the person in front of you to make sure they really get it? Are you talking to a man? A woman? An introvert, an extrovert...?

4.) Allow silence. Time to respond. Even though silence in a meeting or conversation can be the most awkward and uncomfortable experience, it is so powerful and necessary for successful communication. Because sometimes people really need that hot minute to digest and reflect on what you have said in order to come up with a valid response. Because if you bombard people and push them to the edge to get an answer, they will shut down in a fight, flight or freeze response and may blow up in your face with a reaction rather than a thoughtful response. This is called "snapping".

5.) Avoid the „perfection trap“ - judging others by an ideal version of a perfect person. We easily tend to impose our view of the world on others, and we become quick to judge and impatient, especially when people don't act according to our expectations. immediately. But before you judge them as retarded or unmotivated, ask yourself Did I really articulate my message and expectations in a way that they internalized? And even if they did, is there a possibility that they are not as equipped as I am or as I expect them to be? We often judge and compare people to an ideal version of a partner, co-worker, boss,... but is that fair? We're not perfect either, and we don't want to be compared to a perfect version when it comes to our actions and behaviors, so please practice a little more empathy, patience and compassion for yourself and others. In the end, it should be about understanding ourselves better in order to co-create more success.

If you have any requests, questions, or feedback, I will be happy to address them in live coaching or FAQ sessions within the next episodes.

Goals are nice, but how to built and maintain successful systems and environments?

Let’s talk about it! (With Self-Reflection Worksheet & affiliate Book Links to Amazon related Bestsellers)

In todays episode and live coaching session I am going share one of my biggest epiphany and break through moments throughout my own peak performance journey, as well as from coaching many people around the world in becoming and maintaining personal best.

It lies in the power of systems and environments!

Actually studies lately have shown that we are even more an habitual being (influenced on habits and beliefs around us) than an intentional being. Means even if we have an amazing set of goals and big intentions, if you stay where you are when it comes to location or people, you are likely going to fail with your ambitions (exemptions from the rule as always, but we are focussing on science), because we can not heal where we got hurt in the first place. The same environment that made us ill isn’t able to make us well.

So how Do we set up ourselves for success now?

First of all in being clear and decisive on where to go and what to allow in, in order to reach our destination. But in order to make informed decisions and set healthy boundaries, we need to be crystal clear with our own needs, and how to take care of them, physically, emotionally and socially. But most of the people are so busy and focused on other peoples needs or even go as far as people pleasing, that they hardly recognize or even know their own needs, that need to be acknowledged, when it comes to ones success and personal fullfillment.

That’s why you will found a run down of the main human needs in this episode and how to possibly meet them.

Here you’re going to have a free worksheet to download https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sy9OZneHlBXxdRUqPwdnH6c03jJT3HIh/view?usp=drive_link.Please use this sheet to reflect on and evaluate your own needs, as we go through them. Give them a priority (0-10) in your own life to find out how big of an influence or importance certain needs actually have in your life.

In the second step you will get some inspirations on how to meet these identified needs. This will be the baseline for building your individual success blueprint and system.

Book recommendations*:

If you want to dive deeper into the science of building habits and successful systems, you’ll get the perfect guide in James Clear’s bestsellers, Atomic Habits (https://amzn.to/3LikEZu) and The 1% Method (https://amzn.to/4bJgm8g).

And if you are like a lit of us and you're struggling with saying „no“ or setting healthy boundaries, Melissa Urban has created an incredible and practical guide on how to set and maintain healthy boundaries for yourself and others. It's a must-read for anyone struggling with this topic. You can find the book here: https://amzn.to/4cToF2g.
