USE CASE
AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP
4-WEEK PROGRAM
Rapidly creating positively energized leaders, for higher performing, more innovative, and resilient organizations and teams.
OVERVIEW
Leveraging EMQ, the extensive MEvolution toolkit, and utilizing the same teaching methodology of MEvolution Founder Sarah Deane’s highly rated WELL18 Stanford Continuing Studies Class, this intentionally created 4-week program provides leaders with the mental muscles and behaviors needed for increased positive relational energy.
Researchers in the Harvard Business Review noted that, “positive relational energy is the most underutilized yet powerful predictor of leadership and organizational success”. Numerous studies demonstrated that leaders who were positive energizers produce substantially higher levels of engagement, lower turnover, and enhanced feelings of well-being among employees. They found that “in organizations, superior shareholder returns occur, and in some of their studies, outcomes exceeded industry averages in profitability and productivity by a factor of four or more.”
The Challenges of Leadership Today
Leaders today face unprecedented demands. Yet, they are expected to be hubs of inspiration and a source of organizational positive energy, all the while managing highly demanding schedules, high levels of corporate responsibility, and the vastly unknown business landscape of the VUCA environment that has become the norm.
While many leadership programs exist, many of them follow a one-size fits all predetermined framework or syllabus, and lack application in the context of a leader's real life. And with the positively energized leader set to be the next in-demand leadership profile, there lacks data-driven, application-based curriculum that addresses a leader's personal energy-blockers.
To achieve the goal of raising awareness and creating the habits and thinking patterns that empower a positively energized leader, participants experienced a 4-week program, with the Energy Management Quotentit (EMQ) evaluation as a pre-assignment. The group included 20 participants, with a range of ages and varying degrees of leadership levels, from aspiring to experienced leaders.
This was a deeply immersive dive inside the behavior patterns of an outdated programming that was keeping me at a very uncomfortable and unhappy status quo.

CONCLUSION
For organizations to build the leaders needed now, and for the future, businesses need to offer programs that 1) address a leader's personal energy-blockers and 2) combine educational content with in-context application.
By leveraging MEvolution’s EMQ assessment and comprehensive content and tool library, personalized learning plans, within group taught settings, are a reality. With frameworks delivered in focused, prescriptive and manageable steps, leaders can drop or reduce the personal energy-blockers impacting their leadership capacity and success, and increase their positive relational energy within weeks.
“I came back refreshed and energetic. I see things differently and manage demands on me in a calm way.”
“I not only harnessed the power to overcome some of the energy challenges I face, but that I have other ways of creating more energy in my life that aren’t just tied to physical energy.”
“Before this class, I can tell you I was not on the enlightened list regarding personal energy or mental capacity. In fact, until I completed this class and started to properly reflect on, and adopt these techniques, I did not realize how I was constantly running myself empty – sometimes to the point of illness.”
“This was a deeply immersive dive inside the behavior patterns of an outdated programming that was keeping me at a very uncomfortable and unhappy status quo.”
“Self-reflection has been both uplifting, healing and heavy all at the same time. There are some big waves and bumps along the voyage, and you may not always feel great because of those ups and downs, but the end destination you arrive at is one of personal growth, professional fulfillment, relational acuity, emotional awareness, and spiritual connection.”
“For me the class did not end on the last day of instruction- it will continue as the instructor outlined, and I am experiencing personal growth now and anticipate growth will continue into the future.”
