As a Core Energy Leadership Coach I’m often asked “What is the number one roadblock for your clients and how do they get over it?” The answer: Gremlin energy! Gremlin energy is your inner critic, that little voice in your head that tells you: YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! The Gremlin has many variations but common themes sound something like this: I’m not smart enoughI’m not pretty enoughI’m not cool enoughI’m not worthy What makes gremlin energy so powerful is that you get block and can fail to take action on things that can lead to greater success. Gremlin energy is especially powerful because they are the most intimate and personal of the beliefs we have about our self and others. Join me January 24, 2016 at 8pm / 7pm CT when my guest and fellow Energy Leadership Coach Tracey MacDonald discuss Gremlin Energy: What it is and how to tame it!
