Garth Heckman:   "Don't BONK in Business" - Understanding Emotional Energy is the Key to Life and Business
A full life is good, right? At least that is what we are led to believe. Truth is, a full life can actually be the sieve that sucks the life out of us. Understanding how emotional drainage works, how to recharge your emotional energy and why it is the catalyst to a truly full life will change you and your business immediately. A full to do list isn't as impressive as a full tank of emotions.
