Part 4: Close-Up Talk Radio welcomes back Barbara Hetzel of Ridge Top Coaching

Blairstown, NJ – Peter Drucker, considered by many to be the father of management, once said, “Your job as a leader is to take charge of your own energy and then help to orchestrate the energy of those around you.” Indeed, great leaders want their organizations to be energetic places where people can give their best effort, but that requires leaders to be mindful of their energy and how their energy can impact the people around them.

Barbara Hetzel is the founder of Ridge Top Coaching where she specializes in working with individuals to develop the internal and external processes necessary for effective leadership. For over 25 years, Barbara has worked with individuals, teams and organizations, in Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, and higher education to identify their challenges and actively make changes.

“If you’re having a bad day and you’re not aware that all your edges are out, those edges are going to strike the people you’re interacting with and influence them in a way that’s not productive,” explains Barbara. “As a leader, your energy and how you project your energy in your environment is going to have a direct correlation to your effectiveness as a leader.”

Barbara works with leaders in a goal-directed, strength-based way to help them identify what causes their stress and how they can respond differently to stressful situations.

“You will begin to see success in life when you make different choices for how you manage your stress,” says Barbara. “It helps you on an emotional and physical level, giving you the confidence to expand.”
