Building on the previous discussion about energy intelligence, Jen shares actionable strategies for eliminating distractions, prioritizing high-impact work, and making your achievements visible.

  2. [2:48] The Calendar Audit Exercise

  3. [5:50] Strategic Execution vs. Reactive Busyness
    The difference between executing strategically versus reacting to others’ priorities, and how top leaders create a “strategic moat” around their execution.
