The Leadership Readiness Audit helps you see the gap.
The Leadership Readiness Audit reveals where your leaders are strong and where they're not ready. Run it across your bench and you'll see the patterns and gaps that keep showing up no matter how many workshops you send people to or how many times you reorganize the team.
What the Audit can't tell you is why those gaps exist. That's a special kind of tool.
Why does one leader freeze under pressure while another steps up to the plate? Why does someone avoid a hard conversation they know they need to have yet another does it with ease? Why does a capable manager still operate like an individual contributor instead of thinking like a leader?
The answer isn't skill. It's how they perceive and respond to the world around them - their default filters for handling stress, conflict, ambiguity, and authority. Those filters drive every unchecked box on the audit. And until they're made visible, no amount of training will stick.
That's what the Energy Leadership Index was built to reveal. The why. Without understanding the why behind actions, you're left repeating the same conversations, addressing the same performance gaps, and feeling exhausted by your team.
*There's conflicting direction --> no one knows where to focus, what takes priority, or what the goal actually is
*Accountability becomes non-existent --> blame, excuses, and project failure become the norm
*Your best people leave --> because the culture is chaotic and exhausting
*Revenue takes a hit --> because you're constantly putting out fires instead of working on strategy
It's lack of skill and knowledge on how to function as a team, operate under pressure, make decisions as a unit, and communicate effectively.
The Energy Leadership Index™ (ELI) is a research‑backed attitudianl assessment developed by the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. Forbes ranked it third on their list of assesments every executive should take.
Unlike a personality test that labels people or a skill assessments that measure what someone can do, the ELI measures how your leaders perceive and approach work; the internal filters that shape how they handle pressure, make decisions, navigate conflict, and influence others. It makes the invisible visible, in quantifiable terms that you can act on.
When I bring the ELI into an organization, I'm not giving your team a label. I'm giving them a mirror and a shared language for what needs to shift so they can lead more effectively, together.
Ready to feel a greater sense of purpose, get more done with much less effort and stress, and constantly attract positive and powerful people and success to your organization? Then you’re in the right place.
The ELI Assessment isn't a personality test or a management framework. It's a diagnostic that reveals how your leaders actually think and show up day-to-day and where that's working for or against you.
Here's how it works:
Assessment — Each leader completes the Energy Leadership Index, a research-backed diagnostic that measures how they respond to stress, pressure, and challenge.
Individual Debrief (90 minutes–2 hours) — I analyze the results and sit down with each leader to unpack what their assessment reveals: their thinking patterns and the filters that shape their leadership success and effectiveness.
Group Presentation — The team sees the collective picture: a clear visual of their average energy level, and what that means for execution and culture. Then we talk about what needs to shift.
Written Report — A roadmap of specific gaps and next steps, so you know exactly what to focus on.
Timeline: 3–4 weeks start to finish
Investment: Starting at $3,500 with a minimum of 10 leaders in the program (exact pricing depends on team size and scope)
Organizations typically see:
Clarity — Leaders finally understand each other, the direction, and how the team actually functions as a unit.
Accountability — Clear picture of who's accountable for what, where gaps exist, and safety to admit failure and move forward.
Faster Decisions — Aligned leaders = aligned decisions = more effective work being done
Better Culture — Leadership coherence creates happier and more stable staff which directly impacts the bottom line.
Retention — Clearer direction = less confusion = fewer departures and more time to work on strategic initiatives instead of filling positions and training.
Most importantly: You know exactly what to fix next. Some teams move into targeted executive coaching. Others use findings to inform strategic planning. Either way, you're not guessing anymore.
The Energy Leadership Index is designed for:
Companies with at least 10 leaders
Leadership teams experiencing slow decisions, unclear priorities, or accountability gaps
Owners and HR leaders who can't pinpoint the repetitive team and cultural struggles and are looking for a different solution
Companies ready to invest in fixing culture and execution at the source
If your team is solid and aligned, you probably don't need this. If you're experiencing any of the above; this is gives you answers and path forward.

“I completed the Energy Leadership assessment that covered a wide range of ideas and topics in its questions. After I had worked my way through the assessment, I met with Amy who helped me understand how I make use of my own energy in my day-to-day activities, including work, and she also showed me how my energy levels change depending on my stress levels throughout the day and week. It was an incredibly illuminating exercise that went beyond simply labeling me as an X type or Y type, but instead it helped me examine my attitude towards work, life, and under different conditions. I’ve caught myself thinking back on Amy and my coaching session a few times in the last couple of weeks. The time and effort invested is paying off already and it is a mindset tool I will always carry with me. I am incredibly sincere in my appreciation for the things I learned from it and the comprehensive debrief you did.”
