How to regain control over your energy so you can produce great work

In this remarkable presentation, Tony Schwartz, founder and CEO of The Energy Project, shares with us how to regain control over our energy so we can produce great work.

By the way, I take the opportunity to recommend you his remarkable book The Power of Full Engagement (Amazon affiliate link), a book packed with extremely valuable (and practical) advice on how to accomplish high performance and personal renewal through managing your energy, instead of your time.

Quote of the week

“If you are only capable of taking action when your attitude is positive then don’t bother. If you require extrinsic motivation to make your move, you should just give up now. If you only perform at high level when you are feeling your best, then you are the exact opposite of a professional and destined to remain an amateur at life and everything else“
Mike Mahler

How to unlock your brain with a pad and a pen

I strongly believe that one of the coolest concepts I have learned is visual thinking.

Everything started after learning about mind mapping after reading Tony Buzan‘s book How to Mind Map (Amazon affiliate link).

Then I had the chance of studying Dan Roam‘s remarkable book The Back of the Napkin (Expanded Edition): Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures (Amazon affiliate link).

Today most of the strategic work I do, I do with a pad and a pen. So, when a few months ago I discovered the work of Sunni Brown, I really saw the value on her work. Here you can see examples of it on the Strategic Doodler Showcase.

Recently she gave a short TED Talk, in which she makes the case for unlocking your brain via pad and pen. Let’s doodle!

Enjoy!

It’s all about teamwork

10 people. One camera. One take. Cool ad. It’s all about teamwork.

This is more than an advertisement video showing the evolution of video games. This behind the scenes video is an excellent display of teamwork.

Enjoy!
