In this blog post,  April introduces the metaphor of a juice box to represent leadership energy and enthusiasm. When our juice box is full, we are at our peak performance as leaders, but the demands of life can drain our energy and leave us feeling depleted. The article focuses on two aspects of maintaining our leadership energy: refilling our juice box and identifying the "straws" that drain our energy. By setting boundaries and aligning our priorities with our purpose, we can preserve our leadership vitality. The post also encourages us to reflect on what energizes us as leaders and offers strategies to boost team vitality. The goal is to keep our leadership energy nourished, abundant, and ever-flowing.
