Working in the change management space can sometimes feel incredibly demanding and stressful. Within high pressure environments, the successful delivery of large or complex change initiatives relies on many different factors, many of which are out of your control. Change managers can also feel responsible for the change and spend a lot of energy helping stakeholders navigate big emotions through the change journey. These are just some of the reasons why I believe change managers are susceptible to burnout, which is what I’m talking about today. I believe that intentional energy management is the key to helping us protect ourselves from burnout. This is why I developed the Energy Management Toolkit, a practical step by step model to help you protect yourself from burnout and maximize your energy.  In this episode I’m taking you through this model and how you can use it every single day in really practical ways to increase your ability to be productive and make better decisions. When you know how to manage your energy, it leads to better outcomes for the entire organisation, increased engagement and a much more positive work environment for everyone.  I share the two principles that underpin this model and discuss the 6 layers that contribute to the energy pyramid. I go into detail about 2 of the layers and how each aspect of the model forms part of the ecosystem of your energy management and ultimately, your performance at work in the change management space.  Effective personal energy management is essential for folks working in the organisational change management space. Being intentional about this will help you have the capacity to navigate the complexities and challenges of the role and maintain a positive work environment for yourself and the team that you're working with. Make sure you download my Energy Management Toolkit today to build out your personalised energy management plan. I’m convinced that energy management is the key to helping you avoid burnout this year and I know this tool is going to help you and your team immensely.  Connect with me:  Download my Energy Management Toolkit here!
