Get ready to change how you approach the pressure of leading a team.  

The Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) assessment is the proprietary, research-backed assessment that takes something abstract, like the way you view your work and the pressure that comes with leading a team, and turns it into something you can actually see, name, and work with.  And, it’s only available through an iPEC Certified Coach.

You’ve probably taken personality tests. THIS IS DIFFERENT. 

You may be familiar with tools like Myers Briggs, DiSC, and Enneagram.  These are useful for understanding your natural strengths and tendencies, a "work with what you have" approach to adapting your behavior and pursuing personal excellence.  

The ELI is different.  It's an attitudinal assessment, meaning it captures how you're currently perceiving and responding to the pressure in front of you right now, not just your general personality.  With the insights from your ELI debrief, you get to see your own patterns clearnly, especially the ones that show up when your team needs you, senior leadership expects results and your own life is asking for attention also. 

The Energy Leadership™ Index assessment can be given at the start of a coaching relationship and as a regular follow up assessment to provide tangible, research-backed ROI data for any coaching engagement.

Catabolic vs Anabolic Energy

You’re probably very familiar with catabolic energy and don’t even know it.  It's the frustration that builds when you're pulled in too many directions at once.  The tension you carry into a meeting after a hard morning. Left unchecked, it can affect how you show up for your team and how present you feel in your personal life. 

In contrast, anabolic energy is constructive, clear-headed, steady and fuels creativity. when you're operating from this energy, you're able to make decisions calmly, communicate clearly, and lead in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.  

Energy levels at a glance

Energy influences how you interpret everything around you.  If you walk into a tough conversation with your team already drained from a demanding day, you'll likely experience it very differently than if you walked in feeling grounded and clear.

Here's how someone might experience each energy level in a familiar scenario: Your team is already at capacity, and senior leadership just added another priority to your plate. 

Level 1: Lack of choice. Victim energy. I can’t. I have to. 

“I have no control over this. I just have to absorb it while continue to deliver everything else.”

Level 2: Anger. Resistance.

“This isn't fair!  My team and I can't take on more! It's always my team that gets work piled on!”

Level 3: Rationalizing. Fine.

“It is what it is.  I'll just figure out how to make it work.”

Level 4: Care. Compassion. 

“I want to protect my team, and I also want to support what leadership needs.  Let me find a way to do both.”

Level 5: Reconciliation. Win-win. 

“Where’s the opportunity here? How can this actually work for my team and for upper management?”

Level 6: Intuition. Creative genius. 

“I can see how this connects to the bigger picture, and how to bring my team along with clarity instead of pressure. 

Level 7: Complete passion for all aspects of life.

“I feel steady and clear because I trust how I'm choosing to lead through it.”

There's no good or bad energy here.  Each level has its place, and it's completely normal to move up an down this range depending on the day, the situation, or how much you're already carrying.

Change the way you view priorities, pressure, and the people around you. 

Paired with your ELI debrief, this assessment helps you see exactly where your energy is going, and where you'd rather it go instead.  From there, we build a plan together, one tat reflects your priorities at work and at home, not someone else's model of how to ead. 

Take the assessment.

Taking the ELI takes about 20 minutes to complete.

Once the results are in, we'll go through a 1:1 debrief session together.  You'll walk away with real clarity on where your energy is going and a clear next step toward leading in a way that's sustainable.  

Experience more energy, enthusiasm, and passion in your life.

A study from over 30,000 participants show that people with higher A.R.L.’s are statistically more satisfied with all aspects of their lives, from relationships and personal freedom to communication skills and leadership ability.

Forbes Coaches Council recommends the ELI Assessment as “...one assessment they highly recommend executives take.”
