NDUNA - Executive Advisor to the Chief

Just 5 months after Dorthe Vilandt introduced Energy Leadership to our Danish clients it’s has proven to be of great value. Quite a few – from sales executives to managing directors – have benefitted from learning new ways of managing their resources and approach to people, their relationships and everyday business and private issues.

In order to further develop our competences within Energy Leadership, Dorthe Vilandt is going to Los Angeles in January where she will learn about the latest cutting-edge approaches and innovative strategies to secure permanent change leadership strategies.

To be more specific, Dorthe Vilandt will look into the new additional component called the “SHIFT” which means Strategies to Help Innovative, Focused Transformation (SHIFT). It is a movement that facilitates proactive change to recreate any, and all, aspects of our lives—our careers.

Dorthe Vilandt is a certified iPEC coach

For your inspiration please find the 8 Building Blocks of the Energetic Leader:

• Emotional Intelligence
• Dynamic Communication
• Influencing and Engaging Others
• Problem Solving
• Productivity and Decision Making
• High Energy Relationships
• Health and Wellness
• Time Management and Balance

The most successful leaders in the world truly enjoy what they do. In fact, when asked, they consistently say that they feel they rarely ever “work.”

We can´t wait to get Dorthe home from Los Angeles to learn more of the SHIFT program.

Right now Dorthe Vilandt of NDUNA is coaching two  Sales Directors and one  Managing Director applying the new Energy Leadership coaching system.

“Energy LeadershipTM is the process that develops a personally effective style of leadership that positively influences and changes not only yourself, but also those with whom you work and interact, as well as your organization as a whole.

Before we explore the rest of what Energy Leadership may have to offer you, let’s define the two key underlined terms above.

Leadership: Leadership is how you interact with everyone, including yourself. Leaders are quite visible within small and large businesses. We tend to think of them as business owners, CEO’s and managers at all levels. Traditionally, leadership also extends into politics and other global affairs. However, parents, therapists and health care providers, solopreneurs, sports coaches, consultants, mentors, partners in relationship, teachers, authors, and others who interact with people on a regular basis are all leaders. EVERYONE is a leader either by choice or default.” Source: energyleadership.com

Being a business coach and an executive adviser I often stimulate clients to take more care of themselves in order to be able to perform much better. Faster. But as a coach, you need to take the medicine I prescribe my clients. However, that can be rather difficult.

But yesterday I took a day off. Busy as always, I simply needed a break. I needed a full day away from the office, away from colleagues, clients and  busy phones.

Having travelled more than 90 days this year, I have been far to much away from my familiy  than I like to admit. That fact has – on several occasions – been put to my face by my teenage daughter and I just have to admit that she is right.  I have not kept my promises to my family about being a present, loving and supportive father.

So yesterday I spent buying Christmans gifts for my children, cleaning up the house, shopping groceries and listening to music.

I actually went to the office to decorate it for Christmas! (First time that has happened in 6 years as an independent consultant and coach!)

When I picked up the kids, I have a lot of surplus energy.  We enjoyed the first ”æbleskiver” (traditional battered of Christmas cakes) togehter and had a wonderful afternoon together.

This morning, I feel energized again!

The morale is that we are all human and we need to take care of ourselves before we can help others. Service above self… yes, but please make sure that you’re in a position to deliver that service to others. That takes quite a bit of leadership.
