- "Rather than trying to get more out of their people, organizations seeking competitive advantage are best served by systematically seeking to meet the four core energy needs of their employees in order to free, fuel, and inspire them to bring the best of themselves to work every day."
- "How do I create the circumstances where I am released to work in service of my larger dream and serve the world with my gifts?"
- "It’s not the number of hours employees work that determines the value they produce, but rather the quantity, quality and focus of energy they bring to the hours they work."
After such an inspiring start to the series last week, I’m excited to tell you about our second speaker – Tony Schwartz.
For those of you who don’t know Tony, he is the founder and CEO of The Energy Project, a company that helps individuals and organizations fuel energy, engagement, focus and productivity by harnessing the science of high performance!
He’s written and co-authored a whole bunch of books, including the seminal ‘The Power of Full Engagement’ and the #1 bestseller ‘The Art of the Deal’ with Donald Trump.
To give you an idea of why we chose Tony to be one of the speakers on the series, I want to share with you a quote from ‘The Power of Full Engagement’:
“The ultimate measure of our lives is not how much time we spend on the planet, but rather how much energy we invest in the time that we have.”
And by energy, Tony means physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy.
Basically, Tony is an energy expert! He knows what it takes to be able to consistently perform exceptionally. Which I’m sure you’ll agree, is totally necessary if you want to truly work in service of the world, and really give your greatest gifts!
So come and join the conversation with Tony!
It starts at 7pm CET on Thursday 24th March, which is 6pm GMT, 2pm Eastern time and 11pm Pacific time. (Note, this is an hour earlier than first advertised)
To get the conversation rolling already, why would you like to have more energy available to you? What would it enable you to do?
