I’m sitting here with the wonderful Daniel Henry Adams, taking in the view, and it’s struck me again—I get my energy from the people around me. 💬 Just ten minutes with someone positive, funny or inspiring can completely shift my mindset. As an extrovert, I recharge by being with others. Not by switching off, but by switching into connection.
So here’s a question for you: Where do you get your energy? And more importantly—how can we help our teams recharge in a way that works for them?
Here are five quick HR tips to make rest and recharging part of your culture:
💡 1. Encourage people to find their energy source – For some, it’s silence; for others, a lively chat. One size doesn’t fit all—so ask, don’t assume.
☕ 2. Make connection breaks a thing – Coffee catch-ups, walking meetings, “chat and reset” sessions. These give extroverts a real boost.
📅 3. Ditch the back-to-back Zooms – Create space between meetings so people can come back energised—not drained.
🧠 4. Educate on energy rhythms – Teach teams to notice when they’re flagging and to take a break before the crash.
🙌 5. Model it from the top – If leaders pause, laugh, and connect, others feel they can too.
