While propane continues to lift millions of people out of #energy poverty, it also lifted me 3000 feet above the earth this week. And although the propane-powered luxury of flying through the clouds in a wicker basket is obviously not as important as the freedom and health benefits afforded to families who no longer have to gather and burn biomass for heating and cooking purposes, my first hot air balloon ride on Tuesday did provide a great opportunity to ponder the ongoing damage leadersโin both the public and private sectorโare causing by spewing hot air instead to taking logical, coherent, and sustainable actions.
That being said, in this live episode of #TheEnergyDetox, we'll look to several recent examples of such hot air from President Biden and AOC so that you can be more on guard against situations where your stakeholders are treating you like you are full of hot air, have your head in the clouds, and are merely relying on the wind to steer your team and your organization toward some uncertain destination.

The goal: to (๐)๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ, (๐)๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ, ๐๐ง๐ (๐)๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง success by pondering these 3 questions throughout your day:
๐ก How often are you filling your communications with empty words that don't generate any lift?
๐ก In what ways are you unwittingly contributing to a Hindenburg-like company culture?
๐ก How long until your over-inflated ego bursts your thinned-out #leadership balloon?
