We define Energy Intelligence as the acute awareness of your greatest energizing activities where you can sustain your best performance. Conceptually and theoretically speaking Energy Intelligence is a precursor to Emotional Intelligence because of its deeper roots in your own psychological development from childhood to becoming an adult. Understanding how you should react in different situations is not as important as understanding “why”. When you understand why you do what you do, you can better understand how. That is Energy Intelligence.
