The Power of Full Engagement


For 25 years, Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have conducted intensive training with professional athletes to help them perform at peak levels under intense competitive pressures.

Elite athletes who have worked with Loehr and Schwartz include: Mark O’Meara in golf, Jim Courier and Monica Seles in tennis, Jim Harbaugh in football, Mike Richter and Eric Lindros in hockey, Grant Hill in basketball, Eddie Cheever, Jr. in race car driving, Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini in boxing, and Dan Jansen in speed skating.

Loehr and Schwartz are not involved in the physical training process, however. Their intervention focuses on effective management of our most precious resource, our energy. They have found to their surprise that the performance demands most people face in their everyday work environments are often tougher than those professional athletes face. Because athletes train constantly, they are more prepared, whereas most people are in the work game 8 to 12 hours a day with little or no training at all. Most of us are constantly trying to manage time.

In their book, The Power of Full Engagement, the authors have instead set out a prescription for managing energy on every level: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
