The Energy of Success
Take away: The importance of aligning your energy with your core values, both personally and professionally. Understanding and managing your energy is crucial for success and fulfillment. By identifying your values, leading with curiosity instead of assumptions, and making conscious choices about how you expend your energy, you can create a more productive and satisfying life. This applies not only to individuals but also to organizations, where aligning company values with employee values can lead to better engagement, retention, and overall success. Money Learnings: At age 7, during a trip to Pakistan, Rebecca encountered poverty for the first time. Seeing a man without legs begging for money, she asked her father how much prosthetic legs would cost. When told $100, she wanted to help the man buy legs so he could support his family. This experience sparked her curiosity about helping others and finding solutions to problems. At age 11, when her parents went through a tumultuous divorce, Rebecca took initiative to support her family financially. She approached her tennis instructor and asked to coach instead of attending tennis academy, earning $6.50 per hour. She also started tutoring to earn money. Rebecca's early exposure to financial challenges and her proactive approach to earning money shaped her understanding of financial responsibility and work ethic from a young age. Bio: Rebecca Ahmed is an award-winning speaker, a business consultant, and an Energy Leadership IndexTM Master Practitioner (ELI-MP). She is also a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Rebecca advises companies of all sizes on how to create a motivational workplace culture by transforming the energy and enthusiasm of their teams. Her new book is, The Energy of Success: Power Up Your Productivity, Transform Your Habits, and Maximize Workplace Motivation (Wiley, April 23, 2024). Learn more at energeticimpact.com.
