What's Your Capacity Gap?

  • Fatigue

    Only 56% of employees feel physically energized at work.*

    Organizations are becoming more aware of the high cost of fatigue on employee focus, creativity, and performance.

    *May 2016, The Energy Audit for Working America, The Energy Project & Zogby Analytics (n=1,100)

  • Fear

    58% of CEOs are concerned about lack of trust as a threat to the growth and success of their organizations.**

    Fear prompts people to narrowly focus on defending their value at the expense of creating value for their organizations.

    **PricewaterhouseCoopers. "20th CEO Survey - PwC Global." PwC. (n=1,379)

  • Distraction

    Nearly 50% of employees find their meetings unfocused and inefficient.*

    Absorbed focus is more difficult than ever. Distraction undermines performance and creative thinking.

    *May 2016, The Energy Audit for Working America, The Energy Project & Zogby Analytics (n=1,100)

  • Disengagement

    Only 34% of employees feel a strong connection to their company's mission.*

    The result is low energy, inattention to detail and quality, lack of commitment, and high turnover.

Energize

Energize your people across four dimensions of energy - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual - to fuel more capacity for innovation, increased engagement, and more sustainable high performance.

Evolve

Evolve and expand your organizational capacity by designing human-centered workplace policies and practices that drive sustainable growth and well-being.

Solve

Solve your critical human performance challenges by addressing energy deficits and blocks at the individual, team, leader, and enterprise level.

The Science of High Performance

Our early inspiration came from work with professional athletes, who were struggling with performance challenges that defied technical solutions. Almost invariably, their problems took the form of insufficient capacity in at least one of four energy dimensions: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual (the energy of purpose).

The Energy Project’s work draws deeply on neuroscience, physiology, psychology, and perennial philosophy to provide a uniquely integrated method for addressing human performance challenges. In simple terms, we help people and organizations spend more time in the “Performance Zone™” – drawing on the best of themselves – and less in the “Survival Zone™” – to which we default in the face of fear and fatigue.
