Reclaiming Energy

Finding Your Way Back to Yourself in a Demanding World

You work hard. You care. You deliver results. But somewhere along the way, your energy has thinned.

Reclaiming Energy On Demand is a structured, self-paced course built around three focused modules designed to help you understand where your energy is going and how to restore it intentionally. Led by Dr. Arin N. Reeves, the course draws on decades of research, practice, and experience guiding high-performing professionals navigating sustained demand.

This is not a motivational reset. It is a research-informed framework for understanding how cognitive, emotional, physical, and environmental demands interact under pressure and how depletion becomes normalized in high-performance environments. Dr. Reeves guides you through each module with clarity, precision, and practical insight, helping you translate research into real-life application.

What You Will Learn

Recognizing Energy Depletion and Energy Debt
Distinguish ordinary fatigue from cumulative and systemic depletion. Understand how energy debt forms and why high performers often miss the early warning signs.
Mapping Your Energy System
Examine how energy flows across your physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental streams. Identify where overextension has become invisible and where compensation has replaced calibration.
Recalibrating Your Energy System
Learn practical, targeted strategies for restoring capacity. Shift from self-criticism and forced discipline to intentional recalibration that supports sustainable performance and long-term steadiness.

Each module includes focused instruction and guided application exercises so you can immediately translate insight into action. Dr. Reeves does not simply present information; she walks you through the frameworks in a way that makes them personally relevant, practically grounded, and immediately usable.

You will have six months of access to the course, allowing you to revisit individual modules as your energy patterns shift and evolve. The structure is deliberate. The tools are practical. The goal is not inspiration, but sustainable change.

Reclaiming Energy is the foundational course in the Academy's energy management curriculum. From this starting point, additional program topics led by Dr. Reeves will extend these principles into specific contexts, including parenting, career transitions, and other seasons of sustained demand and responsibility.

In Their Words

"The gem that truly stopped me in my tracks: when you draw energy from a reserve you don't have, you are borrowing from your future health. That alone was worth the entire session."

— Nicole A.

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.

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.

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.
