Managing our energy is a critical component of personal productivity. While each person has 24 hours, we each come to work with differing levels of energy, depending on how well we looked after ourselves. 

Last week, I was invited by Yuen Kwan Cheung to speak on the topic of hashtag#wellbeing and hashtag#selfcare as part of the APEC Events Management Workshop for Marriott International. I spoke on hashtag#energymanagement and about using our hashtag#strengths at work. The energy in the room increased significantly when the leaders from Marriott were able to share how they used their strengths to lead their teams and do their work.

Managing our energy is more than hashtag#physical energy. Often hashtag#emotional energy determines how well we respond to personal triggers, conflict situations, unexpected changes etc. In the event management space, energy management is often crucial for success.

And a huge part of maintaining a high level of emotional energy is the feeling of using our strengths at work. During the session, I emphasized that using our strengths greatly impact our level of energy and sense of purpose at work.

Wrapping up the topic of leadership well-being was a fireside chat with Douglas Kim, GM of JW Marriott Hanoi. He shared his own leadership journey in Marriott, personal disciplines as a leader and how he dealt with leadership challenges. I had quite a few personal take-aways from his sharing.

To top off the fantastic week, I grabbed the opportunity to bring along my eldest son and we had some quality 1-1 time together in Hanoi. The workshop was held in Sheraton Hotels & Resorts in Hanoi and we got to experience amazing hashtag#hospitality. 

It was an extremely energizing week of purposeful work and quality family time! And I'm very grateful. 🌟
