Energy is an incredibly powerful tool to manage our mental health, yet we often don’t think about how profoundly powerful it is. In this episode, Claudia Chan will cover: the two kinds of energy that we give to and receive from others — that are positive and negative energy; the types of positive and negative energy we give and receive and how to identify them; why focusing on energy management over time management is critical now more than ever; and how to manage energy so your whole-life can be uplifting. “It’s much easier to teach than it is to role-model. We need to model what we teach to lead.”

Energy changes things and physically impacts those around us. Even while socially distanced, our energy is as contagious as our current global pandemic. Using our new and developing tools we can create a wildfire that goes beyond simply surviving. We thrive by creating the peace and harmony we want to see in the world. #HowWeRise

As you are at home during this time of uncertainty, you're also taking on many new roles. Working from home, teaching your kids, preparing supplies - it's no surprise you are overwhelmed. In this episode of the How We Rise podcast, Claudia talks about a few tools you can use to lead from home when you're overwhelmed.

Our life has completely changed since the outbreak of COVID-19. Many of us are now working from home and are physically isolated from each other. Social isolation, a solution to combat the virus, has now brought a new challenge to our well-being — that is mental health. Whether it is a family, friends, co-workers or someone who shares common interests, we tend to have an inherent desire to belong and be an important part of something greater than ourselves. We long a sense of belonging to a community. In this new season, Leading from Home, Claudia Chan will cast light on challenges that  people are going through and provide new perspectives on how to overcome these challenges. The second episode will cover: The steps to galvanize a community and lead change while physically apart Why your community needs to be updated — three layers of a community The relationship between vulnerability and mental health —  men vs women

As the impact of the coronavirus has grown, the fear of uncertainty in the future has heightened.  The fear of transmitting the disease, being unable to pay bills, losing a job or even losing someone you know has come into your day-to-day life: increasing your stress level and, oftentimes, affecting your mental health. In this new season, Leading from Home, Claudia Chan will cast light on challenges that  people are going through and provide new perspectives on how to overcome these challenges. The first episode will cover: Reframing as a tool to shift your mindset from being reactive to becoming proactive Self-reflection in times of crisis to fuel you personal growth The meaning of leadership — why it needs to be redefined “Maximizing impact requires leadership development, but maximizing leadership requires personal growth.”

When it comes to rising as leaders, your thoughts can be the greatest drivers of your success or they can be the greatest barriers to your success. Yet most people don't invest the time to assess and manage the internal patterns, self talk and voices to work for you. Claudia dives deep into the power of your thoughts and steps to manage your mind to serve your visions and dreams.

In order for all of us to bring our best selves and talents to our workplaces and communities, we need to feel not only a sense of belonging and that we can engage as our true selves, we also need to create the space for others to as well. In a world that is increasingly diverse with so many dimensions (culture, gender, generation, class etc)--cultivating an inclusive mindset is critical for all of us to rise as leaders.
