Exercise & Movement

Physical exercise is critical for our health, but it also helps us rejuvenate our energy and it generates bodily neurotransmitters called endorphins that make us feel good – an effect often called “runner’s high”. A growing body of research shows that even small amounts of frequent exercise is sufficient to give us this performance advantage.

It’s a scientific fact that that our bodies play a critical role in giving us the energy and stamina we need to perform at high levels in our academic, professional and personal lives. Yet, many people have trouble finding the time for even a brisk walk, a quick run, or a short yoga session. Eating high-quality foods can also be challenging amid the fast-pace of modern life and the prevalence of processed and packaged foods.

On Demand Sessions by IE Faculty

Manage Your Energy, Manage Your Life!

The most valuable and essential resource we have is not time; it is energy. Learn the importance of maximizing your energy to ward off stress, as well as to move you closer to your life goals. Understand why the energy you give off matters and how energy plays a fundamental role in establishing new habits. As you look to expand yourself personally and as a leader, it is fundamental to understand your energetics, dynamics at play, and the systems you are up against, including your nervous system and the role of the primal brain. Walk away with tools and resources to manage your energy throughout the day.

Facilitator: Brooke Richardson, Energy Practitioner & Transformational Coach
