Do you know what YOUR ENERGY TYPE is?


If you don’t, you are MISSING OUT on one of the most important resources you have to achieve peak productivity and maximizing your life.


Knowing your energy types as proposed by the genius model developed by Roger James Hamilton is INSTRUMENTAL to making the most of every aspect of your life! In this episode, Charlotte Lane interviews Jade for her Take Control course, and Jade dishes all about the different energy types.


Are you a Dynamo? A Blaze? Or maybe your genius is in the Steel or the Tempo area? Jade explains the characteristics of each of these energy types and you are bound to feel identified with AT LEAST one of them. 


But how can you use this in your favour?


Identifying your energy type allows you to UNDERSTAND why you feel the way you do when you perform certain activities. PLUS, you can create lists and examine the type of energy you bring to different tasks. This is a super important tool, as you then can group the tasks and ENSURE you are in the right mindset when you are about to tackle them.


This can make you SIGNIFICANTLY more productive and it will allow you to set everything up for YOUR SUCCESS. 


One trick to get into flow even if it’s a task you don’t really enjoy doing? 


Prepare the setting! Make sure you have a set atmosphere for each type of task once you’ve grouped them. This is a great way to TRAIN YOUR BRAIN and make things easier for yourself!


This doesn’t apply ONLY to your work tasks! It can also have an effect on how you WORK WITH OTHERS. 


By understanding their energy types you will be able to relate more and get a better sense of WHY they do things the way they do. You will also stop EXPECTING them to do things your way.


And if this wasn’t enough, identifying your energy type can also help in your PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS! This episode can make a considerable impact on SO MANY different areas of your life!


As always, Jade provides THE VERY BEST examples and actionable insights. The goal? For you to learn more about yourself and how you can bring YOUR GENIUS out to play.


You better be ready for more!
