Conductors…

I love studying the cranium, specifically what’s housed in it – our brain. Here’s something cool you may not know about yours and mine; they are wired to conduct.

Our brains produce and use energy. In fact, our brains use more energy than any part of the body. Your brain fatigues before your glutes, hammy, or even your bulging bicep. And your brain conducts energy from other brains. Yup, it’s true. You’re a conductor. Ever walk through a crowded airport filled with strangers and seem to notice when someone is looking directly at you? The fact is your brain is picking up on their electric energy and your head involuntarily turns toward ’em kinda like some super sized magnet. Your brain not only uses and produces energy; it conducts.

This is another reason it matters who you hold in your inner circle, who you hang out with, who you live with, and who you choose to hire. “Whoever” is gonna conduct business with your brain. Whoever is NOT neutral. Your energy is NOT simply your own. You know this. You know some people drag you down and some lift you up. This is another reason you gotta step up to the drains in your system and invest your limited time with the few, positive performers who push you up. And, this is why you and I, as leaders gotta keep it positive moreso than negative when it comes to our communication. Committed followers, are drawn to positive, purposeful, and disciplined practioneers in their profession.

You are a conductor. What kinda brains you conducting with? When your team connects with you, what kinda brain are they conducting with. You are a conductor. Be a positive one. Be one…
