When you walk into a room, practice, or conversation, what energy are you giving off?

📖 Story

In the 2015 NBA Finals, the Warriors were down 2–1 against the Cavaliers, and tension was high. Steph Curry gathered the team and said,“ We’re fine. Smile. Play with joy.”
That shift in energy changed everything; the team relaxed, connected, and found their rhythm again.
They went on to win the series 4–2 and their first championship in 40 years.

🧠 Science

Our nervous systems are contagious.
Research shows emotions spread through mirror neurons, meaning your energy literally influences the people around you. Calm, confident energy helps others regulate and perform better under pressure.

👣 Step Forward

Pause before your next interaction.
Take one breath and ask: “What energy do I want them to feel?”
Then bring that into the room.

💥Set the tone before you step in, your energy leads the way.
