Each coaching engagement, Executive, Team or Career Transition, begins with the ELI-The Energy Leadership Index Assessment. The ELI is an attitudinal assessment that is based on an energy (mindset)/action model. It differs from personality assessments as it does not label a person with the intention of having them work well within that label. Each coaching client completes the ELI as well as a Values Assessment that serve as the foundation of the coaching process.
Understanding your strengths and weaknesses as an executive can only help you become a more effective leader. Though undergoing a round of assessments may seem like a futile attempt to tell you what you already know about yourself, these tests can be quite relevant in the information they provide. Assessments can give you insight into areas where you need to focus more attention and help you reinforce the skills that you excel at. The results may surprise you and will certainly allow you to be more successful as an executive within your organization.
The Energy Leadership Index Assessment provides a unique lens on self-awareness and emotional intelligence, two key ingredients for any leader. Situational awareness of yourself and others is critical for a leader to respond appropriately to the people in their charge. Understanding where you are at any moment and how you respond to stress can make all the difference.
