"'Reclaiming Energy: Finding Your Way Back to Yourself in a Demanding World' was the session I didn't realize I needed — and I mean that wholeheartedly. I walked away with so many valuable insights that I am still processing them."

— Nicole A.

Reclaiming Energy

Finding Your Way Back to Yourself in a Demanding World



You work hard. You care. You show up prepared, capable, and competent. You keep delivering results. And yet the energy you once had for your own life, your relationships, your interests, your joy, has begun to diminish. If this feels true for you, you are not just tired. You are depleted, and rest alone does not fix depletion.

Reclaiming Energy is a foundational experience for accomplished professionals who are meeting expectations while running on diminishing reserves. It offers a clear path back to steadiness, not by asking you to do more, but by helping you relate differently to the energy you already have. The program is a carefully curated mix of focused learning, guided reflection, and thoughtful discussion with others navigating similar pressures and responsibilities. You will not simply absorb information; you will engage it in a way that makes it personally relevant, practically grounded, and immediately usable.

Through this experience, you will gain clarity about how your cognitive, emotional, and physical systems interact under pressure and identify the patterns that quietly erode capacity. You will recognize where you have been operating from obligation rather than alignment and gain language for what you have been feeling but may not have named. You will build practical structures that support sustainable energy so that clarity, presence, and joy can return and stay.

    What You Will Learn
  • How to distinguish ordinary fatigue from deeper, cumulative depletion
  • How to recognize when high performance is masking energy deficit
  • How to identify patterns of overextension that have become normalized
  • How to interrupt ongoing depletion with clear, sustainable strategies
  • How to rebuild daily rhythms that restore steadiness, presence, and joy
How We Learn Together

This session is designed as a shared experience. Much of what makes it valuable is the opportunity to learn alongside others navigating similar pressures. We encourage participants to join on camera and be ready to engage in discussion, as the program is built around connection and reflection, not just content delivery. If you have any concerns about participation ahead of time, please reach out to us at elyse@nextions.com and we are happy to work with you.

In Their Words

"It was excellent to gather with others in community and in a safe space. It was helpful to better understand the difference between exhaustion vs. energy depletion, and hearing about small but helpful ways to reclaim energy throughout the day."

— Sandra T.

In Their Words

"What a great experience this session with Arin turned out to be. We are all tired at times — but she let us know that there is a big difference between that and just having no energy in our reserves."

— Nina L.

One Size Never Fits All

Business Development Strategies Tailored for Women (And Most Men)

Women continue to trail their male counterparts in making it to the very top leadership positions in professional service firms. Research demonstrates that the ability to develop business is a greater obstacle for women's success than any other reason. Through original research, Dr. Reeves illustrates how women often are more successful in certain aspects of business development (networking, establishing relationships, delivering excellence in client service), but firms primarily reward closing the sale and getting the credit for the sale. Dr. Reeves explains why most women fall prey to this flawed traditional business development approach and offers a series of alternative approaches that professional women, as well as the firms in which they work, should use instead.

Smarter Than a Lie

Winning Against Liars Without Losing Your Mind

While most of us live by the same moral code, we aren't armed with the tools to deal with the liars who do not. Our brains are hardwired to make it more likely we will believe liars, and fall prey to manipulators through truth bias, trust bias, and authority bias. In this book, nationally-recognized workplace researcher Dr. Arin N. Reeves delves into the world of liars, the lies they tell, and the ways in which each of us can be smarter than the lies we encounter, especially in professional environments and public spaces. Smarter Than A Lie will help you understand why liars lie, why their lies are effective, and the most effective strategies to counteract liars and overcome their lies.

Ethical Influence Under Pressure

Choosing Integrity to Create Change that Endures

Most books about influence assume ideal conditions. This one begins where real life begins: under pressure. Through vivid case studies and a practical framework, Dr. Reeves shows how ethical influence works across cognitive, emotional, social, and structural layers — and why change fails when those layers fall out of alignment. For leaders, advocates, and anyone trying to move people and systems without abandoning truth, dignity, or justice, this book offers a powerful guide to creating change that endures.
