Your Power Barometer

There is so much focus these days on optimizing our time, right? And though I\u2019m all for staying focused and productive, here\u2019s something I\u2019ve observed: one consequence of trying to stay hyper-productive can be increased stress. Less downtime. More hours. More caffeine. Less sleep. And all of that can lead to burnout.

A lot of us are leading lives and teams with batteries that are low on power. And that\u2019s a losing proposition for all of us.

In this episode, I\u2019m excited to introduce you to Josefine Campbell, who is taking this problem head on. She\u2019s a top executive coach, former jujitsu champion, and now the author of a new book entitled\xa0Power Barometer: Manage Personal Energy for Business Success.

In this episode, you\u2019ll learn about practical tools like the Energy Barometer and the Awareness Matrix. Josefine will explain how the opposite of professional is not personal\u2014and why that matters. By the time we\u2019re done, you\u2019ll know how to detect if you\u2019re starting to get hijacked and how to get out of it if you\u2019re already there. And you\u2019ll be in better shape to stay mentally agile, which is one of Josefine\u2019s major messages in the book. I can\u2019t wait to share this discussion with you.

NOTE: As of the time of this episode was published, Josefine's book was not available for sale. My understanding is there is a change in distribution partners. But you can learn more about Josefine and the book's resources at\xa0JosefineCampbell.com/.

• Episode 106, with Tom Rath about his book Eat Move Sleep. Just by the book name you can get a sense of what it's about. I highly recommend this episode!
• Episode 132, also with Tom, this time about his book Are You Fully Charged?\xa0Both of these books provide helpful insights aligned with this episode.

Gift a Loved One a Head Start With Their Career

Do you know someone who is in college or maybe recently graduated?

My experience is there are a growing number of people who dread being asked the question, \u201cSo, what\u2019s the plan?\u201d When it comes to their career, they have\xa0no freaking idea!

I bring this up because we\u2019re rolling out a new course entitled just that:\xa0No Freaking Idea: How to Navigate Career Uncertainty. It\u2019s a career guide for people who don\u2019t know what they want to do, and it has been so fun to hear the feedback on the course.

Whether you are wondering about the next steps in your career or it's a son or daughter and you'd like to give them a head start as a gift, learn more by going to\xa0NoFreakingIdea.courses. Thanks!

Thank you for joining me for this episode of The People and Projects Podcast!
