The Corporate Athlete: Managing Your Energy, Leading with Integrity

The Corporate Athlete: Managing Your Energy, Leading with Integrity

Drawing on Loehr and Schwartz's Performance Pyramid model and the leadership principle of Personal Integrity, this 15–20 minute course reframes burnout and short tempers as an energy problem, not a discipline problem. Managers learn the four capacities that sustain high performance (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), the concept of "oscillation" — deliberately alternating stress with recovery — and why keeping promises to yourself is the habit that multiplies all the others.

Two scenario-based knowledge checks and a self-assessment help managers apply the concepts to their own week, and the course closes with a personal 30-day commitment (one energy habit, one integrity practice) to bring into the next leadership meeting for group discussion and accountability.

Approximate Time to Complete: 15 minutes

I lead a talented group of professionals who design and deliver customer and employee learning programs that drive understanding, adoption, and long-term success.

With a background in Education, training delivery, and instructional design, I’m driven by the challenge of making learning accessible, measurable, engaging, and impactful. Above all, I believe great training doesn’t just teach, it transforms how people connect with the instructional content, the technology, and each other.

I obtained my B.A. in Mass Communications and English Literature from Florida State University and received my M.S.Ed in Urban Education from Florida International University. I am an avid reader, writer, and would love to publish a novel one day. I live in Tampa, Florida with my husband and two boys.
