Performance on Purpose: Igniting Unstoppable Energy

Purpose isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a scientifically proven buffer against stress, burnout, and turnover. Employees who feel purposeful perform better, are more resilient, and stay longer.

ENERGY FOR RESILIENCE

When the stress in our lives increases, so does the demand for energy in order to deal with those stresses. And the last few years have been stressful for everyone. Leaders, managers, and employees have been working harder than ever before and are stretched thin, burned out, and exhausted. The cumulative data of our Resiliency Assessment shows that people struggle with

PHYSICAL RESILIENCE the most. Physical energy is the foundation of everything. Without energy, nothing happens. And the energy required for your people to succeed and thrive is off the charts.

ENERGY FOR RESILIENCE will help your people increase, fortify, and recover their physical energy and resilience.

INCREASE ENERGY: High levels of productivity and effectiveness require high levels of energy. And food is energy! Unfortunately, most people are short on time, confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated when it comes to nutrition. They’re eating in ways that increase stress and decrease energy. We HAVE to eat multiple times a day and poor choices dramatically hinder our energy, resiliency, performance, and engagement. This module gives your people the knowledge, confidence, and tools to consistently take in high-quality, energy-rich fuel for their bodies and brains—and to do it in a way that is easy, quick, and flexible. This is a very different approach to eating than most people are used to, and they’re pleasantly surprised to learn just how doable it is.

FORTIFY ENERGY: We’re going well beyond the Micro Bursts! Exercise isn’t just a way to change our chemistry after stress—it’s a powerful tool for long-term resilience, a deeper well of energy, confidence, and the ability to overcome challenges. Participants will be motivated by what a pivotal role movement and exercise play in every aspect of their lives, and how to incorporate them into a busy schedule.

RECOVER ENERGY: Sleep is the #1 tool our brains and bodies have to recover and renew energy. However, a high percentage of Resiliency Survey respondents report serious struggles with the quantity and quality of sleep they get. Without adequate sleep, our energy and ability to successfully overcome challenges and maintain a positive mindset suffer.

Guiding Principles for Creating a Purpose-Driven Life

Purpose-driven people don’t just feel better, they perform better, and they become more profitable employees. Research shows they’re more resilient under stress, more innovative, more profitable, and more engaged. Purpose-driven organizations? They retain top talent, fuel growth, and create cultures people want to be part of.

This isn’t theory. It’s science…and a little safari. Through stunning visuals and laugh-out-loud storytelling, Jenny connects the dots between tracking elephants in Namibia and tracking down your own sense of purpose at work.

The message is clear: purpose isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And it’s easier to find than most people think.
Planner ROI: Your audience doesn’t just leave inspired, they leave with sticky tools that reignite engagement, drive better decisions, and boost event ratings.

  • Reconnect to their sense of purpose and reignite passion for excellence.
  • Understand why purpose is the single most powerful buffer against stress and burnout.
  • Apply six principles of purpose-driven living at work and in life.
