This time of year, we’re all pretty tired, pulling out all the stops to get everything done in time for Christmas. Coincidentally, it’s also the time of year for big corporate team celebrations. It’s a time when I need to say to myself, “Raise your energy!”.
As an introvert, my most comfortable place is in one-on-one or small group conversations, yet my job requires me to rev up 100+ people in big events, which always makes me nervous. The feedback is always great, but my approach is different.
Before I step into the room, I close my eyes and remember a time when I felt energised and excited – ready for anything.
I flood my senses with what I felt, what I saw, what I heard, what I smelled and turn up the experience like the contrast on a TV. My unconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between a memory or a new experience, so I open my eyes and walk in beaming and shaking hands in a fully resourceful state, ready to have fun.
