a friend who’s an executive coach described her work: “more than advice, what people are really buying is access to my nervous system to help regulate theirs”

sometimes what we seek from certain people is proximity to a way of being. their steadiness, confidence, clarity or aliveness can become temporarily contagious

Your entire life will change when you realize energy is the most attractive human trait. Not looks, wealth, or status. Energy. Start walking into rooms with genuine enthusiasm, curiosity, and interest. Watch what happens. You become a magnet for the highest quality people. Energy is contagious. Spread the kind you’d want to catch.
