• 0:49
  Barometer Manage Personal Energy for Business Success by Josephine Campbell. The link is in
• 0:56

• 1:00
  got a question for Josephine or myself, kl at karrluts dot com is the
• 1:04
  email address to go to. Josephine. Great to have you on the show.
• 1:10
  So what is a power barometer? A power barometer is an imaginary tool
• 1:15
  that anyway can bring with them all the time, doesn't cost any money doesn't
• 1:19
  take any space, and you can use it to manage personal energy in your
• 1:26
  work life, your own and within your team so that it will have an
• 1:30
  effect on your team's performance, on your business success. All right, So
• 1:36
  it doesn't really exist. It's not like the barometer upon your wall that tells
• 1:41
  you the barometric pressure and what the weather is going to be, whether it's
• 1:45
  going up or down. So how do you measure it? You check in
• 1:49
  with yourself. So you use your gut, because your gut is connected to
• 1:55
  the Olympic system in your brain that holds thousands and thousands of pieces of information
• 2:02
  per second, much more than what your awareness can do, so you know
• 2:07
  so much more if you use your gud, then if you use your frontal
• 2:14
  lopes your awareness, and by accessing that, you will do a check in
• 2:20
  on your personal energy level. The idea is first and foremost that you manage
• 2:25
  your own personal energy, because of course, what you bring to the table
• 2:28
  has an effect on what you can do together. But the idea here is
• 2:32
  also that you do together in the team, because everybody brings something to the
• 2:36
  table, right or everybody knows the feeling of being in a meeting and someone
• 2:39
  just takes out all the energy of the meeting. Right, Yeah, those
• 2:44
  buzz kills, so we know all about them. So do you do this
• 2:46
  when you wake up first thing in the morning. Do you do it when
• 2:50
  you get to work lunchtime? How often do you take your barometric energy pressure?
• 2:58
  Here? So people who really take responsibility for what they bring to the
• 3:02
  table, they would probably also do it in the morning. But it's enough
• 3:06
  that you do it when you start the meeting and that everybody shares where the
• 3:09
  parameter is. Now, you know that can be days where your parameter for
• 3:14
  good reason is low, and then it's better to be aware of it and
• 3:17
  for other people to know it. That you don't have to talk about it
• 3:20
  the whole meeting, right, but just say loud my parameter is thirty percent.
• 3:25
  Because if people don't know and you say something, you might come across
• 3:31
  in a wrong way. But if people know that you're already low on energy
• 3:36
  for good reasons, they're not going to take it personal. And business is
• 3:38
  personal. That's another point of mine. It's not true that business is not
• 3:42
  personal. It is personal. It's you collaborate, it's you who lead,
• 3:46
  it's you who get things done, it's you as a person who is the
• 3:50
  tool of the medium for the work you do. So business is personal.
• 3:53
  That's why you have to take responsibility for how you are as a person.
• 3:57
  It has a huge effect on what you can and actually achieve. Okay,
• 4:00
  so you got to own it. And my philosophy in life is all limits
• 4:06
  are self imposed, and you know it's your thinking. You have these thoughts,
• 4:15
  and you believe things to be true then aren't necessarily so. And you
• 4:18
  believe things to be false that might be true. So a lot of it
• 4:21
  hinges on beliefs, doesn't it? Yes, very true? So how do
• 4:26
  you change your beliefs by adding more energy into the equation? Energy is the
• 4:32
  fuel that powers us. It's what our brains run on. If you've got
• 4:36
  to change anything, you need energy. So what takes your energy, carey,
• 4:41
  what gives you energy? What gives me personally energy? Hey, I
• 4:46
  like the dance, you know, yeah, the dance that really gets me
• 4:53
  going. But but I have a lot of other interests as well. But
• 4:58
  in my leisure time, definitely, I love to travel all these things,
• 5:01
  and I love hatching a plan and seeing it succeed. Right, nothing's more
• 5:08
  energizing than success, right, Like your book. So yeah, so it's
• 5:13
  it's important that you prioritize the things that gives you energy. So I would
• 5:16
  say dance is a really good example. I also love dancing, and I
• 5:20
  make sure that I can dance at least an hour a week, only an
• 5:25
  hour at least. Yeah, well, given my druthers, But seriously,
• 5:30
  so energy energy. Some people are low energy, you know. Remember like
• 5:36
  during the campaign, one of the candidates said about Joe Jeb Bush, he
• 5:43
  was low energy Jeb. So sometimes you might appear to be low energy,
• 5:47
  but you're really not right, That's very true. High energy is not well
• 5:55
  with being eprioric or high high end energy. You can be very calm when
• 6:00
  you have high energy, but people can probably feel when they with you if
• 6:06
  they're very attentive whether you have low or high energy, because it feels good
• 6:12
  to be around people with high energy, and it feels training to be around
• 6:15
  people with low energy. What has been said in a political battle, I
• 6:20
  won't take too much into account because it would also just be for pulling him
• 6:24
  down, right, But yeah, sure, don't you know the feeling of
• 6:28
  being with someone and it's just really nice and you feel like your energy parameter
• 6:31
  will go up at the end of the conversation from talking with them or being
• 6:35
  with them, or even if you don't talk, just being around them.
• 6:39
  Definitely, all right. So if you want to raise your energy level,
• 6:44
  what are the three things you could do right now to do that? First,
• 6:47
  you gotta be aware. Then you have to take responsibility for it.
• 6:53
  You know, if you blame others or you say, oh I cannot do
• 6:56
  this for this and reason, then there's not much to do from there on
• 7:00
  and right, So you have to take responsibility. And then you gotta put
• 7:03
  it into practice. You gotta do it. You gotta do what you know
• 7:08
  will work. And if it doesn't work, it's okay. You just try
• 7:12
  something else, all right. So if you were starting out today and you
• 7:15
  just realize, you know, my energy it's okay, but it's not really
• 7:20
  where I want it to be. What would you do? I would take
• 7:25
  a time aside, a little bit of time to do something that I know
• 7:29
  that will gives me energy, whether it's dancing or hey, maybe driving the
• 7:34
  car fast too fast, whatever it might be. Huh so, but eventually
• 7:42
  your energy is gonna run down a bit, isn't it. Yeah, But
• 7:45
  that just makes you tie it right, So what you gotta do, Yeah,
• 7:49
  you gotta get you gotta treat yourself well with sleep. Right. Sleep
• 7:55
  is essential, It's essential. There's no way around it. We need between
• 8:00
  hold on, they have it at a half and eight and a half hour
• 8:03
  of sleep every night. There's no way around it. I could agree with
• 8:07
  the four percent of the population who can do it. Lest four percent I
• 8:11
  could go for like weeks three to four hours worth of sleep. I don't
• 8:16
  do it because I feel like not really good for the body. But when
• 8:18
  I have to do it, I can do it. But then like three
• 8:22
  or four weeks later, I'm gonna crash and I'm going to sleep like ten
• 8:26
  or twelve hours one night. So it better to just get you seven to
• 8:31
  eight hours in. It's proven for the immune system, for memory, for
• 8:35
  fighting off disease, everything else. So a lot of what you're saying here
• 8:39
  is really healthy stuff, isn't it. Oh? Yes, And I find
• 8:45
  that there's a huge correlation between how you physically feel and how you mentally feel.
• 8:52
  H yes, right, So I to fix the other and the other
• 8:56
  way around. What about the concept like Edison used to do, used to
• 9:00
  take a nap catnap fifteen minutes, he never really slept, they said,
• 9:03
  although I don't believe it, but he would take fifteen minute cat naps.
• 9:07
  How good is that? I believe that little naps is a very, very
• 9:13
  good for you. If you look around in the world, you will see
• 9:18
  that they have, through times been many different sleep patterns. No one says
• 9:24
  that it has to be exactly how we do. But if you look into
• 9:28
  sleep research, if you look into the research of the father of sleep,
• 9:33
  respective research, Cleatman, who his work is still the bible for many sleep
• 9:41
  experts, and it shows that there's a correlation between the day and the night
• 9:48
  shifts and what happens in our internal biological clock. So it's better to go
• 9:54
  to bed at night before it gets stuck, or just and it gets stuck,
• 10:00
  depending on where you are, and sleep before midnight and then get up
• 10:03
  when it gets light than it is to sleep you throughout the day. We
• 10:07
  have substantial research that shows that people who do night shifts they live less years
• 10:13
  than people who sleep normally. Right, makes total sense, doesn't it.
• 10:18
  Yeah, so there's something that has to I imagine this is a global audience.
• 10:22
  So I'm not good. That's why I'm avoiding to to mention specific time
• 10:28
  because it's going to be different at what time it gets stuck in in Cansas
• 10:33
  to Thailand and Reodiane. Right, but I think everybody knows when when is
• 10:39
  it the good time to go to bed? When is it that you would
• 10:41
  put your kids to bed? Right, You're not going to put them to
• 10:46
  bed two o'clock in the afternoon and let them sleep until ten pm. Yeah,
• 10:48
  So sleep, sleep is essential for good thinking, clear thinking, for
• 10:56
  good health obviously for so many any things really really important and you need to
• 11:05
  be fixated on it. And if you're not sleeping, well you've got to
• 11:07
  figure out why and you have to whether it's medical help, whatever you need,
• 11:13
  you got to learn how to sleep, right, I truly believe that.
• 11:16
  But what my book is about what I write about in the book,
• 11:20
  I do mention sleep. It's it's essential. But what I explain is what
• 11:26
  happens at work and then you're hopefully awake. So how the way we collaborate
• 11:33
  with each other, how people are being let affects the energy level. Yeah.
• 11:37
  So Also if you are a manager, if you're if you're leading other
• 11:41
  people, how can you manage people in a way that would accumulate more energy
• 11:48
  within the business for more success. Okay, So, hey, have you
• 11:54
  ever had periods of time, Josephine where you are low energy, where you
• 11:58
  really could put a sentence together, so to speak. How would it last
• 12:05
  four and how'd you get yourself out of it? Yes? So we had
• 12:07
  a situation in my family where someone was seriously ill, and and that,
• 12:16
  of course that is draining. It takes a lot of energy, and it
• 12:20
  lasted for as long as that situation was going on. But throughout that time,
• 12:24
  if I didn't have had my healthy practices, like if I hadn't slept,
• 12:31
  if I like meditating as well, so I'd take like five to ten
• 12:35
  minutes in the morning, and I would make I was exhausted, but I
• 12:39
  would get up those fifteen minutes before everybody else and I would sit down and
• 12:43
  close my eyes and just check in with myself and I could feel, okay,
• 12:46
  I'm on a thirty percent today, And then I would be tried to
• 12:50
  be a little gentle with myself as much as I could, and I don't
• 12:54
  think I would have survived without that, And then I would go I would
• 12:56
  make sure I would be damn thing at least one hour a week. You
• 13:00
  know, the things that happens to you in life where energy is going to
• 13:03
  be low and you do everything you can, but you just can do anything
• 13:05
  about when life happens to you, right, yea life happens, Yeah,
• 13:09
  very very true. All right, So the book it's being re released as
• 13:16
