I've spent the last twenty years building out the IEP Method® (Intentional Energetic Presence®) body of work, writing books and creating programs devoted to leadership and culture, and working deeply with organizations who wanted to have healthy high-performing positively contagious cultures for happy people and solid business results.

Due to last minute planning, I put us in a hotel that I’d booked against my better judgment and compromised our environment. My daughter and I took a little vacation up the coast. It was beautiful, weather perfect, simply lovely. But I made one huge mistake that almost cost us the trip.

Years ago when I wrote CONTAGIOUS CULTURE (McGraw-Hill, 2015), people were surprised to find that when I talked about “creating a healthy culture,” I pointed them to first look at their own leadership health, and how they showed up, to actually create that culture.

After all, my two biggest books talk about CONTAGIOUS YOU and CONTAGIOUS CULTURE, and this whole body of work is about SHOWING UP for ourselves and each other. I've received several notes from clients and colleagues asking me what I think and feel about all that's going on.

The previous week had been physically, mentally, and emotionally intense with special attention being needed in the land of "being a mom," "leading a team," "completing" a vendor relationship early, working with clients, and finishing the book! That is the book, and its many stages, cut chapters/sections, timelines, etc.

They were super "busy" themselves, and they knew I was wrapping the book, so they assumed I was too busy and didn't ask. What's the intention?". Last week, I had a client tell me they assumed I'd be too "busy" to come lead another session for them. I would have loved to. AND, I had plenty of space and bandwidth to do it.).

I wanted to help bridge the gap people often come to the edge of when tying the IEP leadership work (often seen as the "soft stuff") to tangible business costs and outcomes. When I wrote CONTAGIOUS YOU * last year, I dug deep into data, science, research, and case studies.

I planned in fun stuff and breaks in between and even during events – good food, and local field trips to an awesome craft store, the fab coffee bar, an architectural book store, and even a walk through Japonesque gallery (wow).

You don’t have to spend a ton of money to do it – buy a book, take an afternoon to ask yourself the BIG questions, take a class, work with a coach, purchase a self study program. Make yourself better, stronger, more aware. Check your mindset and beliefs (see next week’s article.) Do it individually, do it as a team.
