You were promoted to lead.
Now you spend your days putting out fires.
Built on 20+ years of leadership experience at:
The Energy Leadership Index Assessment helps team leads and middle managers shift from constant firefighting to real leadership — so your team performs, and you get your time back.
The Challenge
Why this is happening
• Three meetings you didn't need to be in
• Two team members in conflict you have to mediate
• One escalation from above you have to absorb
Total cost to your free time = at least six hours
or
Zero time for the strategic work you were actually hired for
You expected leadership to be different. Instead, you are the buffer between an overwhelmed team and impatient executives — and no one taught you how to do this.
You are not failing. You are running a system that was never designed for the speed, complexity, and AI-driven change you face today.
Even if you received it, most leadership training assumes you have time, energy, and clarity. You have none of those.
Show me how
You already know this week will bring:
The real problem is not skill — it is energy.
How you show up in a tense meeting determines whether it becomes a 10-minute alignment or a 3-day fallout.
How your team members respond under pressure determines whether they deliver or stall.
These patterns are invisible until you measure them. Once you see them, they can be changed — and that is when leadership starts to feel possible again.
The Solution
Meet Christina Vaal,
your mentor and coach
Over the past five years, I have coached more than 100 leaders and teams using science-backed tools to improve leadership effectiveness, team performance, and resilience. As an iPEC Coaching ICF-accredited coach with studies in Positive Psychology at University of California, Berkeley, I use the ELI Assessment to help leaders quickly identify the patterns affecting communication, engagement, and performance—so they can lead with greater clarity, focus, and impact.

02 Awareness
A common workplace challenge is the gap between leadership intent and employee experience. Managers may believe communication and change efforts are clear, while teams experience uncertainty, lack of support, or disengagement—creating friction that often goes unnoticed in daily operations.
The ELI Assessment builds awareness by making invisible team dynamics visible. It shows how individuals respond under stress and how those patterns affect communication, trust, and collaboration—helping managers better understand what is happening within their teams and why.
Low engagement often shows up as unclear expectations, inconsistent feedback, and misalignment between leadership intent and team experience. Managers are expected to drive performance, yet many spend their time addressing symptoms—missed expectations, repeated misunderstandings, and uneven execution—without clear visibility into what is driving them.
The Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment introduces clarity at a deeper level by revealing how individuals perceive and respond to everyday situations. Instead of focusing solely on behavior, it uncovers the energetic patterns behind decision-making, communication, and reactions under pressure.
Organizations are asking managers to lead continuous transformation—whether through digitalization, AI adoption, or new ways of working—often without the necessary time, support, or behavioral change infrastructure. This results in change fatigue, inconsistent adoption, and initiatives that fail to translate into sustained impact at the team level.
The ELI Assessment supports lasting change by going beyond surface-level interventions and addressing the underlying patterns that drive behavior over time. Through the combination of assessment insights, guided debrief sessions and workshops , individuals gain practical tools to shift how they respond to challenges, communicate, and lead. Because these changes are rooted in deeper awareness and clarity.

The energy you create around you is perhaps going to be the most important attribute - in the long run, EQ trumps IQ. Without being a source of energy for others, very little can be accomplished.

Show me how
I took the Energy Leadership Assessment and actually often think about the different energy levels; I find them to be a very helpful framework for reflecting on my approach to new problems and challenges.
Marlene Ronstedt, COO, Data Union DAO, San Francisco
You are COMMITTED. You are ready to lead with energy. Your team is ready and committed as well.
We need you to be fully committed to YOUR success; a "whatever it takes" mindset rather than "if it’s convenient, maybe I’ll show up.
You are RESOURCEFUL. You will find a way to participate fully no matter what, and you’re ready to take bold uncomfortable action.
You are COACHABLE. Our clients are smart enough to know that what they have tried up until now has not worked. They are ready to empty their cup and follow a proven process. They TRUST that we have the solution.
You BELIEVE in breakthroughs, not in tolerating the status quo.
