What is Energy Leadership™ Index Assessment?

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. The E.L.I. forms the initial launching point for our coaching. Whether you proceed through the coaching program or not, the realizations that you'll gain from the Energy Leadership assessment and debrief process alone will change the way you view your world.

How is Energy Leadership™ Index Assesment different to other tests?

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.

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. You'll be debriefed on the findings of the assessment, and coached on how to navigate yourself to higher performance.

I've had coaching before,and it didn't really help. How is your approach different?

That’s a valid concern—not all coaching is created equal. Coaching is an unregulated industry, meaning anyone can call themselves a coach without formal training, ethical guidelines, or a structured approach. If you’ve had coaching that felt ineffective or surface-level, it may not have been backed by proven methods or delivered by a trained professional.

What makes my coaching different?

✅ ICF Accreditation = Quality & Ethics
I’m a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), trained by iPEC and accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). The ICF is the gold standard in coaching, setting strict training, competency, and ethical standards. This ensures you receive high-quality, professional coaching that goes beyond generic advice.

✅ Science-Backed, Proven Methods
Unlike coaching that relies on motivation and surface-level goal-setting, I use evidence-based frameworks like the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) and COR.E Dynamics. These tools help you:

Understand how your mindset, emotions, and behaviors shape your actions.

Identify and shift deep-rooted patterns like imposter syndrome and self-doubt.

Build sustainable confidence and clarity, not just temporary motivation.

✅ A Structured Yet Personalized Approach
Every client’s journey is different. That’s why my coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. We start by understanding where you are now and where you want to go, then create a tailored coaching plan to help you move forward.

✅ Coaching Is a Partnership—That’s Why I Offer a Free Consultation
Coaching is deeply personal. The right coach should feel like the right fit for your personality, values, and goals. That’s why I offer a free consultation—it’s not a sales pitch, but a way for us to see if we’re the right match. You’ll get a taste of my coaching style and have space to ask questions before committing.

If past coaching didn’t work for you, it may not have been the right approach, the right structure, or the right coach. I invite you to experience the difference of working with an ICF-certified coach who is committed to real transformation.

What’s the difference between coaching for individuals and coaching for businesses?

Coaching looks different depending on who is investing in the process—an individual or a business. While the core principles remain the same, the structure, goals, and key stakeholders differ.

Coaching for Individuals: Your Goals, Your Agenda

When you invest in coaching for yourself, it’s a one-on-one partnership focused entirely on your personal and professional goals.

✅ You define success – Whether it’s career transitions, leadership growth, or overcoming mindset blocks, our sessions are tailored to what you want to achieve.
✅ Confidentiality & trust – Everything we discuss stays between us. Coaching is a safe space for reflection, strategy, and action.
✅ Evidence-based approach – As an ICF-accredited coach trained in iPEC’s methodologies, I use proven frameworks like the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) and COR.E Dynamics to help you gain clarity, take action, and build lasting confidence.

If you’re feeling stuck or navigating a career transition, coaching provides a structured yet flexible approach to help you move forward.

Coaching for Businesses: A Three-Way Relationship

When a business invests in coaching for employees or teams, there are three key players in the coaching relationship:

1️⃣ The Organization (Sponsor) – The business sets the overall coaching objectives tied to leadership, performance, or team development.
2️⃣ The Employee (Coachee) – The individual being coached has autonomy in the process and sets personal development goals within the business context.
3️⃣ The Coach (Me) – I act as a neutral partner, ensuring coaching supports both business priorities and individual growth.

Key Principles in Business Coaching

✅ Confidentiality is protected – While I work toward the business’s objectives, all coaching conversations remain confidential. Employees need a safe space to grow, reflect, and challenge their own thinking without fear of repercussions.
✅ Aligning business & individual goals – Coaching is not just about meeting KPIs—it’s about developing people. I ensure that coaching supports business success while empowering individuals to thrive.
✅ Tailored leadership & team programs – Whether coaching emerging leaders, new managers, or teams, I use proven ICF-aligned methods to build self-awareness, cultural intelligence, and leadership skills.

If you’re an HR leader or business owner looking to invest in leadership coaching, team development, or cultural intelligence coaching, we can discuss a customized coaching plan that fits your business needs.
