 NING OBJECTIVESSPEAKER BIOS \nSession 1 - ENHANCING WORKPLACE COMMUNICATIO
 N THROUGH ENERGY LEADERSHIP\nThe Energy Leadership™ Framework refers to th
 e process of leading oneself and others based on the internal energy level
 s that each person exhibits. This framework categorizes energy into seven 
 distinct levels\, ranging from negative\, draining energies to positive\, 
 inspirational ones. Understanding these levels is crucial in navigating wo
 rkplace dynamics and communication.\nBy fostering an objective perspective
  in individuals\, devoid of personal values\, past experiences\, and world
 views\, communication transforms into an efficient exchange of ideas rathe
 r than a potential minefield of misunderstandings. This shift not only mak
 es workplace interactions smoother but also reintroduces an element of enj
 oyment into collaboration.\nSpeaker: Sarah Schillerstrom\, Founder and Pre
