Energy Rising

"Your drive to create change, have impact, and solve problems all comes from the energy-the real electrical impulses-firing in your brain. On good days, this energy rises in you. It makes you feel empowered and dynamic. And on bad days, this same energy hurts. It leaves you depleted and defeated. Who you become-how dynamic and powerful you are as a person and a leader-depends on learning to work with this energy. You may feel as if you don't control this energy, that it's just a product of the world around you and the forces bearing down on you. But that's not the case. You can learn to recognize your brain's energy in the moment, harness it, and transform it from painful to powerful. Julia DiGangi will teach you how through eight "codes," or principles, to follow. Some of them may surprise you, suggesting you do the opposite of what you want to do. You will learn why they work and how to apply them through exercises and reflections. A deeply experienced neuropsychologist, DiGangi has conducted research with colleagues at Harvard, Columbia, Georgetown, the University of Chicago, and elsewhere. For many years, she's worked with individuals who have endured the worst traumas, from survivors of domestic abuse to combat veterans, and helped them transform their energy and rise to powerful new heights. Their stories and those of business leaders enduring their own struggles bring the eight codes to life. When you shift to this mindset and start viewing your life and work less as activities you do and more as natural energies within and around you, you can harness this energy more effectively, and your power to lead-both yourself and others-will grow exponentially.
