Interview with Luke Iorio around Energy Leadership on Blogtalkradio.com

November 16th, 2009

Exactly two weeks ago, on Monday November 2nd, Luke was interviewed by Louise Crooks on blogtalkradio.com around the exciting topic of Energy Leadership.

Why do certain clients surge forward nearly effortlessly, while others struggle to find their place?

What is the single most important factor that distinguishes the great leaders from the rest?

Which personal quality is most likely to inspire confidence in customers, respect among colleagues, and loyalty from employees?

The answer: Energy and Engagement

There are 7 levels of energy, which directly translates into the amount of energy your client can engage to be successful. These levels determine how your clients see the world and each person in it, including themselves; and, therefore determine how well they can influence and inspire themselves and others to take powerful, purposeful action.

Understanding these levels and making subtle shifts will create a ripple effect for your clients, changing the way they perceive their circumstances, react during challenges, communicate with and lead others. Developed from the bestselling book Energy Leadership, this work will help you learn how to change your clients’ perceptions to work for, instead of against them – shifting your clients from being at the cause instead of the effect of their lives.

If you would like to learn more about how to transform you workplace and your life from the core, read the bestselling book Energy Leadership by Bruce Schneider.

How a Coach Perceives the World

November 10th, 2009

Seeing patterns, connections, and clarity when others may not:

Through Chaos, a Coach sees Order

Through Challenge and Stress, a Coach sees Opportunity and Clarity

Through Tragedy, a Coach sees Purpose

Through Conflict, a Coach sees Growth

Through Anger, a Coach sees Understanding

Through Others, a Coach sees Themselves

Through Themselves, a Coach sees Others

While many individuals are usually constrained by one ,or if they are lucky, 2 or 3 different perspectives, a coach is trained to see a situation from a 360 degree view. Because of their unique vision a coach sees many more choices, options, possibilities than their client can. A coach can broaden the clients’ view, so that the client can empower themselves to take meaningful action from their new vantage point.

The coach considers all aspects of a situation and all aspects of life, and helps the client to continually investigate life from new angles. Because of this bigger picture, coaches are often very relaxed in times of stress and challenge. Whether you know the final result or not, the coach can often see that an answer is just around the corner with this vision. The world is an exciting place, filled with passion, enthusiasm, and growth… this is the world as seen through a coach’s eyes!

Who would you like to help to see life and work from a completely new perspective? What difference would this make to them?

And what difference might this vision, outlook, and skill set make in your life?
