Most assessments try to tell you who you are.
The ELI tells you how you're currently showing up, and what's been quietly running the show.
It gives you a snapshot of the energy behind your current attitude: the lens you didn't know you were looking through. And unlike your personality, that lens can change.

Personality vs. Attitudinal Assessments
You know your DISC letters, Clifton Strengths, MBTI. Maybe even your Enneagram number. And they are valuable personality tests that focus on revealing your hard-wiring and innate strengths.
The ELI asks a different question: how are you currently applying that wiring? Because attitude isn't fixed like your personality. It's built from experience, belief, and habit... which also means it can be re-built.
This isn't a label. It's a snapshot — a clear, honest read of your energy right now. And it can serve as the launch point for transforming how you experience and interact with your life.
E.L.I. Assessment Process
Once you schedule your ELI assessment and debrief time, you will receive a link to take the assessment. It takes ~20 minutes to complete. After you submit, we will have our debrief session where you get your customised report, and we review your results together.​​ We will also discuss next steps and how you can start to apply this new awareness directly into your daily life.
Benefits
Using these ELI results as a benchmark, you can begin to consciously choose to change your perceptions and attitude where they’re not serving you.
This results in:
➪ Noticeable increase in energy + mental ease
➪ Better response to stress triggers
➪ The ability to shape your overall attitude
Forbes recommends the ELI Assessment as one of the top 3 "assessments every executive should take.”

BEHIND THE E.L.I.
(The nerdy side of the assessment.)
For the sceptics, I love you! Here's the science behind the snapshot.
TYPES OF ENERGY
​For practical discussion purposes, there are two types of energy. We need both types in balance, and while there is a healthful balance, each has its benefits and limitations:
​
Think of your energy in two currents.
Catabolic energy is your body's breakdown mode. It's the fast, adrenaline-fueled hit that gets you through real danger. It's also the slower drip of cortisol that wears you down when "danger" is just your inbox. Borrowed from biology, we use it here as shorthand for energy that constricts: the 'I have to,' 'I need to,' 'I can't' state of mind.
Anabolic energy is your body's build mode. It's the chemistry of growth, ease, and connection. We use it as shorthand for energy that expands: the 'I can,' 'I choose to,' 'I get to' state of mind.
We're not claiming your mindset literally triggers these exact chemical pathways with each though, but think of catabolic and anabolic as a metaphor borrowed from the body, not a lab result. The felt experience is real: one state drains you, the other fuels you. And you have more say over which one runs the show than you think.
BROADEN AND BUILD PRINCIPLE
Here's what the research shows: psychologist Barbara Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory has found, across decades of peer-reviewed studies, that negative states narrow your focus down to survival. Think tunnel vision, quick reactions, self-protection. Positive states do the opposite: they broaden your thinking, open up creativity, curiosity, and connection. It also helps build valuable resources (resilience, relationships, meaningful skills) that outlast the moment itself.
What does this mean for you? Where you spend your energy doesn't just change how you feel in the moment. It compounds. Every day spent in an anabolic state is quietly building a bigger toolkit for the next hard thing. Awareness is what lets you choose what you choose to build.
STUDY RESULTS SHOW IMPACT OF ELI
A study from over 30,000 participants shows that people with higher Average Resonating Levels of Energy are statistically more satisfied with all aspects of their lives—from relationships and personal freedom to communication skills and leadership ability.
