On Friday, NVTC’s Executive Circle participated in an insightful session led by leadership behavioral coach Andrew Deutscher, founder of Regenerate. The topic was:?"Managing Energy in Headwinds." ? Andrew started by discussing the concept of?human energy—the internal strength and vitality required to sustain physical, emotional, and mental well-being. ? A few key takeaways: ?? Reframing negative thoughts is critical, as they often stem from deep care and can be redirected positively. ?? Acceptance means coming to terms with all possible outcomes, which helps alleviate stress. ?? We explored the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the skill of?cognitive reappraisal—the ability to reshape stress into something manageable by interpreting challenges in a more realistic and optimistic way. ? This session was a timely reminder of the importance of managing energy and mindset, especially when leading through micro and macro challenges. ? Interested in growing as a leader?
