Fully Engaged!
Full Engagement
• You are Physically Energized
• You are Emotionally Connected
• You are Mentally Focused
• You are Spiritually Aligned with a purpose beyond our immediate self interest
Principle #1
Full Engagement requires drawing on four separate but related sources of
energy: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
Current Daily Reality: Scale of 1-10
• How Physically Energized are you?
• How Emotionally Connected are you?
• How Mentally Focused are you?
• How Spiritually connected with a purpose beyond yourself are you?
Principle #2
Because energy capacity diminishes both with overuse and underuse,
we must balance energy expenditure with energy renewal
To live fully engaged, we must learn
how to rhythmically spend and renew energy
Pulse it real good!
Circadian RhythmsUltradian Rhythms
First 60 mins – Alertness increases90-120 mins – Body craves rest
What made the difference?
Even just small amounts of recovery between tasks
can have a huge impact on your performance
Principle #3
To build capacity, we must push beyond our normal limits,
by systematically exposing ourselves to more stress
followed by adequate recovery
We build emotional, mental and spiritual capacity
in precisely the same way we build physical capacity
Personal Story
How can we have the strongest ‘engage-renew pulse’
possible and increase capacity
when needed for new challenges?
Principle #4
Positive Energy Rituals (highly specific routines for
managing energy) are the key
to full engagement and sustaining high performance
What new rituals would support you
in each area?(To engage fully, renew fully or grow
capacity)
Physical tips
Look at these areas for new rituals:• Patterns of breathing• Foods you eat and when• Quantity and quality of sleep• Degree of recovery during the day• Level of fitness
Emotional Tip
Look at how much time a week you devote to
activities purely for the pleasure of them?
(…schedule some)
Mental Tip #1
‘Where are you when you get your best ideas?
...almost no one says work’ – Michael Gelb
(make time for creative imagining)
Mental Tip #2
Build your focus muscle by practicing sustained focus
with timed work/break sessions (i.e. 60 mins on, 10 mins off)
Spiritual Tip
Take time each morning to connect with your
deepest values, highest priorities and purpose
