The INvisible Impact: How Your Energy Shapes the World Around You

Written By: Emilie Tydings, Founder, AuriCollab, 2024

What Does Your Energy Say About You—And the World Around You?

Have you ever stopped to notice how the energy of your environment affects you? Does the buzz of an office building leader your ear ringing? Does stepping into nature calm your nerves and open your mind? Now, take that reflection a step further—what kind of energy are you contributing to the spaces you enter?

These aren’t just personal questions—they’re foundational to the way we lead, innovate, and shape the world. In my work with 3Rd Eye Leadership™, I call this Leadership Energy Synergy: the practice of tuning into the energy we bring to the table and how it resonates with the people, environments, and systems we engage with.  

A Global Pause That Opened My Eyes

Even though we are a few years away from the pandemic, this moment truly opened my eyes to something I had always believed was possible. During the pandemic, the world shifted into a collective “resting state.” For the first time in years, I could hear the birds instead of traffic. My ears stopped ringing, my nerves calmed, and I realized how much energy I had been expending just to keep up with the noise of modern life as a single mother. This pause created a moment for deep inner and physical healing. And it wasn’t just healing for me—it was healing for the planet. Without the constant churn of human activity, nature began to restore itself in ways that were visible and tangible. This raised a critical question for me:

What happens when we’re no longer at rest?

Human beings generate a tiny fraction of the Earth’s total energy—our bodies produce about 100 watts of power at rest, which is less than 0.0005% of the planet’s energy output. Yet, the energy we emit through our emotions, decisions, and actions has an enormous impact. Consider this: In 2020, the Gallup Global Emotions Report found that 40% of people worldwide experienced stress daily whle 29% felt anger.  That’s billions of people emitting chaotic, dense energy into the world. And if we’re honest, we’ve all seen how negative emotional energy can ripple outward—affecting relationship, organizations, and even broader systems.

The Ripple Effect of Leadership Energy

In 3Rd Eye Leadership™, I emphasize that leadership starts with self-awareness. The energy you bring—whether grounded and calm OR chaotic and reactive—sets the tone for everything else. Leaders, in particular, have a profound influence on the energy of those they lead: their teams, organizations, communities, entire industries, their families, and even the world.

This is about recognizing the interconnected system we’re all a part of: humans, nature, and even technology. It’s about recognizing the ways you are a leader in your own life. Our collective energy shapes the world we live in, and right now, we’re seeing the consequences of neglecting that connection. When we’re disconnected from ourselves and the spaces we inhabit, when we move through our environments in a silo, we act out of alignment. We innovate without considering regenerative solutions. We lead without fully understanding the ripple effect of our energy. And the result? A deepening crisis—not just for the climate, but for humanity itself.

What Can We Do?

The good news is, we can change. It starts with small, conscious shifts:

1.      Tune into your environment. Take a moment to notice how your surroundings affect you. Is the space noisy, chaotic, or draining? Or is it peaceful and inspiring?

2.      Reflect on your energy. How are you showing up in this space? Are you adding to the chaos or bringing calm and clarity?

3.      Lead from alignment. Leadership energy synergy means aligning your inner state with the energy you want to cultivate in your environment.

Imagine if more of us began to lead with this awareness. Imagine the collective impact of billions of people tuning into their energy, creating spaces of harmony instead of dissonance.

 A Call to Reflect and Reset

As we move forward in a world that feels increasingly chaotic I invite you to pause and reflect.

How is your energy affecting the spaces you enter?

And how can you shift that energy to create flow—for yourself and those around you?

Leadership isn’t just about guiding others—it’s about the resonance you create. And when we lead with intention and alignment, we don’t just change the energy of a room—we change the world.

Feel how the energy wants to flow.
