Energy is your most powerful leadership asset. So… how’s your battery?

In this episode of Leading You, I’m joined by Tim Jack Adams, founder of GreenX7 and global voice in wellbeing and connected leadership, for a powerful conversation on energy, burnout and sustainable success.

We explore the question that’s shifting workplace culture around the world: How’s your battery?
It’s not just a check-in. It’s a radical reframe of what it means to thrive in leadership and life.

From high-functioning burnout to the science of grounding, Tim shares his personal story and practical tools for building energy-aware cultures—ones where people perform without burning out.

This isn’t a fluffy wellbeing chat. It’s a call to rethink how we work, lead and live.

In this episode, we cover:
Why “How’s your battery?” unlocks more honesty than “Are you okay?”
The four types of energy every leader must protect: physical, mental, emotional, social
Why success without energy is a silent crisis in leadership
How high-performing leaders hide burnout behind achievement
The science behind nature, grounding and nervous system reset
Why movement, breath, and connection are your best leadership tools
How to build cultures that are high-performing and human
