Leadership isn’t just about strategy. It’s about energy.

The way you show up (calm or chaotic, present or distracted) sets the tone for your team. Yet many leaders run on autopilot, never asking what’s fueling them and what’s draining them.

That’s where evaluating your Leadership Energy comes in handy. And one of my favorite tools to guide this self-reflection is the 70/30 Principle.

Here’s the idea:

• Spend 70% of your time on the work that fuels you – where you’re in your strengths, passions, and state of “flow.”
• Limit 30% of your time to tasks that drain you – things that still need to get done, but pull energy from you instead of giving it.

💡 Here’s your Empowerment Challenge this week

1. Write down 3 things that fuel you and 3 things that drain you.
2. Audit your current week. Are you closer to 50/50, or even 30/70?
3. Choose one intentional step to shift the ratio back toward 70/30. (Delegate, restructure, or simply create boundaries.)

Because the truth is, your energy is contagious. When you manage it with intention, you don’t just sustain yourself, you multiply momentum for those you lead.

Keep leading empowered!
