Of great influence in my thinking has been The Urban Shaman
by Serge Kahlili King. One of his assertions was that “energy flows
where the attention goes.” My work was always shaped by where the CEO
or the leader was putting his or her attention. My life is shaped by
where I’m putting my attention. And with everybody I knew, their lives
were affected by where they placed their attention. What I hadn’t seen
before was that energy accompanied attention and that certain kinds of
attention enhanced energy. In organizations, outward results can be
directly linked to the energy created from where the attention flows.

Smith had developed his own healing practice based on massage, singing,
dance, telling stories. As I came to know him over time, I saw he could
look at a person, individual, or look at a group, and see exactly what
kind of energy was missing. He could see where the joy was missing, or
where the relationship was missing. He could see whether people didn’t
mean what they said. He could see how their bodies were contracted or
turned against themselves or twisted out of shape. He had an ability to
see what I was not trained to see. I could already sense some of this
in my work with groups, but I was not really construing it in any kind
of energetic framework as he did. And what he was able to produce, in
terms of sick people getting better or groups going from non-directed
to focused, was very fast and remarkable. It was as though he was
breathing life—breathing energy—into them. And he would do whatever he
needed to do, whatever he could think of to do, given his particular
talent, culture, and repertoire.
