This book took me by surprise; it is an eye-opening epic read highlighting the importance of energy, not just time, as an area that is most important to focus on and master.

As a previous sufferer of burnout, it taught me that, unlike time, energy is finite and pivotal for peak performance. This book took me on a journey and framework where I could practically think about my life in terms of energy (rather than just time) and maximise this in the areas of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health; just superb.

I also loved the concept, which we are…

From Shannah's list on that will change your life.

As a leader, I struggled with what I thought was work-life balance, both in concept and action. Even though I was having a highly successful military career, I was in a health rut. 

This book illustrated compelling examples that what I really needed to maintain my leadership momentum was to manage my energy, not my time. This book reminded me that I must keep my physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual tanks from going empty. I applied these concepts in my own life, as well as share them in my leadership speaking and writing. 

I discovered I needed to establish a PBR…

This book changed my life. I learned how to maximize my energy, so I perform at my best and enjoy my life. The book focuses on four kinds of energy: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It is full of practical suggestions – my favorite is, “Life is not a marathon, it is a series of sprints.”

New book alert!

Why am I passionate about this?

I’ve become passionate about telling parents how to raise happy, resilient, creative, confident, entrepreneurial children who are doing something that gives them joy. So many young people are unhappy; parents don’t understand how to help. They think their children should follow their path, but that no longer works for many. For the last 10 years, I’ve been speaking to parent groups; I was an Advisor to EQ Generation, an after-school program that gives children the skills to succeed; on the Advisory Board of MUSE School, preparing young people with passion-based learning; and on the Board of Spark the Journey, mentoring low-income high school students to achieve college and career success.
