In this final episode of the PRIME model deep dive series, we’re exploring the vital role of Energy. While it’s the last element of the model, it’s certainly not the least. Energy is something we all need and often crave more of. It’s influenced by a range of factors—some within our control and others not so much—but we often have more influence than we think. This episode focuses on three powerful areas that shape our energy: the people we interact with, our environment, and how we manage our time. Each has a direct impact on our resilience and performance, offering opportunities for positive change. 

We’ll also dive into the fascinating science behind how our interactions affect us, highlighting the powerful role of neurochemicals and neurotransmitters. Whether it’s the energising boost of dopamine, oxytocin, or serotonin from uplifting connections, or the draining effects of excess cortisol and adrenaline from stressful encounters, these chemical reactions can significantly influence how we feel and perform. This episode unpacks how to manage those energy dynamics—minimising sappers, maximising givers, and creating an environment and schedule that truly support your results and wellbeing.
