Full Engagement

Definitely worth reading…

It seems that lately, whenever I’ve done a Q & A session after one of my speeches, one question that comes up is, “How do I manage to balance my work and family time (especially since I’m now training for a 4th Winter Olympics)?

I do a lot of things that Jim Loehr discusses in his book, “The Power of Full Engagement.”

It turns out that since most Americans are overworked, managing time is not the solution. Managing energy is the key. For over 20 years Loehr studied tennis players to see what made the top guys so successful.

It was not what they did in training. It was how they took advantage of their down time - even the down time in between points in a tennis match, to take a few beep breaths, lower their heartbeat, relax, and mentally prepare for the next point.

The not so elite tennis players never slowed down between points and by the last set were exhausted. They just didn’t manage their energy nearly as well as the top players.

How does that apply to you and me at work?
