Good Energy Isn't A Personality - It's a Skill
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of People Success Circle, I sit down with Gallup-certified strengths coach and speaker Sarah Collins to talk about something we don’t always name—but all experience: the energy we bring into the workplace.
Sarah shares her journey—from leading in her career to navigating a major identity shift through motherhood and the pandemic—and how that led her to realize that good energy isn’t something you’re just born with. It’s something you can build.
We talk about how small, intentional habits can completely change how you show up at work and in your relationships, and why connection, presence, and even fun are critical for creating engaged, healthy teams.
If you’re a leader, HR professional, or someone who wants to show up better in your work and life, this conversation will give you practical ways to start.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why good energy isn’t a personality trait—but a skill you can develop
- How life transitions can impact how you show up at work
- The three pillars of good energy: connection, presence, and fun
- How distractions—especially from our phones—affect engagement and relationships
- Simple habits (like the “pocket pause”) that help you be more present
- Why having a best friend at work increases engagement
- How small, consistent actions (1% better) create meaningful change over time
- Practical ways to build trust and connection within teams
- Why presence is becoming one of the most valuable skills in today’s workplace
