December Newsletter: Energetics

Last week, I attended a spur-of-the-moment workshop on Energetics. What’s that, you ask? I had no idea either! But the speaker’s joyous energy and optimism kept popping up on my feed and it caught my attention. I’d been noticing my own mood slipping into occasional moaning, and when a friend pointed it out, I thought: Urgh…this isn’t the energy I want! I wanted some of what this speaker had!

What is Energetics?
Energetics teaches us that the vibrations we put out—like gratitude, compassion, and purpose—shape what we receive in return. Higher frequencies amplify connection, inspire collaboration, and encourage growth. Meanwhile, lower frequencies (such as frustration or fear) create barriers.

It’s an idea that resonates with me as I reflect on 2024. Sometimes it was easy to share and receive good energy; at other times, not so much. But this year has taught me that how I choose to show up—how I speak, act, and walk through challenges—matters. Going forward, I’m choosing to carry gratitude and purpose into everything I do.

I’m deeply thankful for the collaborative and transformative energy I’ve been surrounded by this year. It’s been a joy to work with JTP, Spiers Major Light Architecture, Ryder Architects, Adjaye Associates, Scott Brownrigg, Shakticola, HEM, Planning Potential, CGL, and the dozens of individual clients I’ve had the good fortune to coach this year. From the wider UK to Barbados, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Nevada, and Seattle, I’ve witnessed incredible courage, curiosity, and leadership in action.

“I can't emphasise enough how valuable coaching has been to shaping my career. I was incredibly sceptical about whether there would be any benefit, but the benefit has far outweighed the cost and time I've put into the process. Along the way, I was terrified about the consequences of making any changes to my career path, but coaching has transformed my career outlook in positive ways that I couldn't have imagined six months earlier.

I would recommend this type of coaching to anyone, at any stage of their career, and for any reason. I can't stress how useful it is to have been given a framework and tools to facilitate self reflection and career planning. I wish I'd done it a lot earlier!”

As we step into the holiday season, I encourage you to honour your own energy. Celebrate the highs, learn from the lows, and carry forward the vibrations you want to cultivate in 2025.

For me, I’ll be focusing on gratitude and connection as I reflect on all of you—clients, collaborators, and supporters—who make this work so meaningful.

Wishing you a joyful, peaceful, and high-vibration holiday season. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey this year.

Warm wishes
