The Journey Beyond Business as Usual: Energy Rising

In this first episode (1) of The Journey Beyond Business as Usual, you are welcomed to a conversation between Elisabet Lagerstedt and Dr. Julia DiGangi about her book ‘Energy Rising: The Neuroscience of Leading with Emotional Power’, published by Harvard Business Review Press (2023).

Dr. Julia DiGangi is a neuropsychologist who studies the connection between the brain, emotional pain, emotional power – and leadership.

Elisabet Lagerstedt is the founder and director of Future Navigators and a trusted advisor, consultant, and executive coach.

Here, we explore everything from the power of emotions in leadership to the pain of uncertainty.

From a larger perspective than discussed in this video, our inner development—including our emotions—is critical to building a Better Business and co-creating a better future. 🌱

Why?

Because it asks for us to expand our capacities as leaders to:

✅ increase our self-awareness

✅ see different perspectives

✅ gain a systems view

✅ develop a wise, calm, strategic mind

… and more.

It also expands our impact.

This is available to us as part of our adult development – but it is a journey far too few actively pursue. Or even know is possible. In fact, building a Better Business and co-creating a better future starts with our own inner development.
