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 coaching, helping give you a baseline for your current performance and situation.  Whether you proceed with individual coaching 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.

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.

"My ELI Assessment [with Al] was an eye-opener. One is used to assessment tests, but getting insight into one's energy profile, as it were, is another level of insight. You understand how you react and how much of a determinant positive and negative energies are on how you approach your work and life, and how energy determines outcomes. The best part of it: this knowledge allows you to proactively improve, to be aware of when you are experiencing negative energy, and to choose to build on the positive and improve both your day-to-day interactions and living as well as move towards a better future. I highly recommend this unique assessment. It will get you out of ruts you did not know existed." – High-Tech Executive

“There is only so much you can do to keep yourself healthy, physically fit, and balanced; [you can] still feel drained, nervous/unsure, and have doubts about your own leadership. By working with Al Ingram on my Energy Leadership Index Assessment, I was able to better understand my own energy, and more importantly, how to shift to get energized instead of drained. The debrief and follow-up by Al was really the value.” – Andrew Allen
