The Energy Leadership™ Index (E.L.I.) is a one-of-a-kind assessment that enables leaders to hold up mirrors to their perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and overall leadership capabilities. As part of the Energy Leadership Index assessment and debrief process, you'll learn about the 7 levels of leadership and how much energy you currently have in the catabolic-suppressing range and in the anabolic-inspirational range both when not under stress and when under stress. You'll be debriefed on the findings of the assessment, and coached on how to navigate yourself to higher performance.
Background: An Attitudinal Assessment
There are two main types of assessments: Personality and Attitudinal. Personality based assessments, such as Myers Briggs and D.I.S.C. are very valuable tools that pinpoint certain personality types so that people can have more of an understanding about what their strengths and weaknesses are. By understanding your personality and how it relates to what you do, you can adapt your behavior to "work with what you have," to function effectively.
The E.L.I. is an attitudinal assessment, which is based on an energy/action model. This assessment differs from personality assessments as it is not intended to label a person and have them work well within that label. Instead, it measures your level of energy based on your attitude, or perception and perspective of your world. Because attitude is subjective, it can be altered. By working with a coach using the E.L.I., you can alter your attitude and perspective, make a shift in your consciousness, and increase your energy and leadership effectiveness.
**There are no limits as to the potential growth that you can achieve. Once you realize that your level of consciousness is directly related to your actions, you can move from functioning effectively, to functioning optimally.**
Post Debrief
At the end of your debrief session, we’ll explore next steps tailored for you and/or your team—whether that means applying immediate insights or diving deeper.
The E.L.I. provides a powerful starting point and baseline for how you currently lead and engage with the world. It also serves as the foundation for the Energy Leadership Development System, a structured coaching path designed to help you intentionally grow into the leader your role, team, or organization needs.
Even if you choose not to move forward with the full system, the clarity and self-awareness gained from the E.L.I. debrief alone can be truly transformative. It shifts how you see yourself, your choices, and the energy you bring to every aspect of your life and leadership.
