Energy Leadership: Change the Lens, Change Your Life

Every day, you make thousands of choices—many without consciously realizing what is driving them. You decide what to do, how to respond to the people and circumstances around you, which opportunities to pursue, and which possibilities to dismiss.

But what drives those decisions?

The answer has a great deal to do with the lens through which you see yourself, other people, and the world around you.

“We see the world, not as it is, but as we are—or, as we are conditioned to see it.”
— Stephen R. Covey

Your Perceptual Lens

Have you ever wondered why several people can experience the same event and walk away with completely different interpretations?

We experience life through a perceptual lens created by our experiences, beliefs, assumptions, expectations, and the stories we've accumulated throughout our lives. That lens becomes our mindset.

Your mindset influences what you notice, how you interpret situations, how you respond to others, and what you believe is possible for you.

You don't respond to life simply based on what happens. You respond based on how you perceive what happens.

But what if you could become aware of that lens—and learn to change it?

Conscious Energy and Your Potential

Your perceptual lens can either expand or restrict what you believe is possible.

When you view life through limiting beliefs, fear, frustration, or assumptions formed by past experiences, you may see obstacles where someone else sees opportunities. You may dismiss possibilities before considering them or react automatically rather than consciously choosing your response.

Working with Conscious Energy allows you to recognize these patterns and begin making more conscious choices.

The Energy Leadership framework identifies 7 Levels of Energy that influence how you perceive situations, make decisions, interact with others, and respond to challenges. We all experience all seven levels, but the levels we access most frequently can profoundly influence how we experience our lives.

As your perceptual lens opens, you begin seeing possibilities that may have always been there but were previously hidden from view. A struggle can become a challenge. A setback can reveal another path. A situation that once appeared to offer only one response may suddenly offer several.

When you can see more choices, you expand your potential.

The Energy Leadership Index Assessment

What if you could actually measure the attitudes and perceptions influencing the way you approach your life?

The Energy Leadership Index (ELI) Assessment is an attitudinal assessment designed to give you a baseline understanding of your current mindset and energetic profile—including how your energy changes when you're under stress.

Unlike personality assessments, the ELI assessment isn't designed to put you into a category or tell you, “This is who you are.”

Instead, it measures something that can change: your attitudes and perceptions.

The ELI assessment can help you recognize where fear, assumptions, limiting beliefs, expectations, stress, or habitual reactions may be creating “energy leaks” in your life. It can also reveal where you're already accessing more productive levels of energy and how you can draw upon them more consciously.

The purpose isn't to label you.

It's to help you see what you couldn't see before.

Your ELI Assessment Experience

Your Energy Leadership Index assessment experience begins with completing the online assessment. Then we'll meet privately for an in-depth review of your results.

Together, we'll explore your unique energetic profile, including the 7 Levels of Energy you most frequently access and how that profile changes under stress. We'll identify where your energy is supporting you, where it may be working against you, and where old perceptions may be limiting your choices.

Most importantly, you'll learn how to recognize these patterns as they're happening and begin consciously shifting the way you respond.

The assessment gives you the baseline. Awareness gives you the opportunity to change it.

Work With Teresa Bruni, ELI-MP

As an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), I'll help you understand your results in the context of your actual life—not simply as numbers on a report.

Once you understand the connection between your perceptions, your energy, and your actions, you can move from simply reacting to life to becoming more consciously engaged in creating it.

There are no limits to your potential growth. Sometimes what appears to be a limit is simply something you're viewing through an old lens.

Change the lens, and you change what's possible.

What Clients Are Saying About the ELI Assessment and Review Process

Before I worked with Teresa I thought I could think my way through anything and make things happen. Her work uncovered some patterns and tendencies that were getting in the way of my success. Realizing these has given me new tools with which to approach issues and grow my business more successfully.

— John Rasiej, Business Growth Strategist

 

I was also amazed at how accurate the ELI assessment was at pinpointing my strengths; strengths that prior to taking the assessment I doubted at times. I am now far more clear on who I am, what I have to offer my clients, and I have a greater awareness of my gifts and talents. But best of all, the doubts that have had me blocked are now identified which will allow me to recognize and control them when they appear. It’s really amazing to see all of that so clearly laid out in the assessment. Now that I have expanded self-awareness, I can move forward through any mental and emotional blocks and utilize my strengths to thrive in my life and business.

— Jeff Owens, Leadership Excellence Coach, Awaken Executive

 

Before working with Teresa, I was constantly exhausted, living in literal darkness avoiding the world and unsure how to proceed with many changes that were happening in my life. Through her assistance, my energy levels increased and I was able to get through a dramatic life event more successfully than I would have without her assistance. Since Teresa's coaching, I have increased my number of clients and income while cutting my workload in half. I stepped away from an unhealthy business relationship with ease and confidence which allowed me to begin finding business opportunities everywhere.

— Paul Thomas, CEO, The Vitality Agency & Vitality Regenerative

 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and practicing psychotherapist, I was both excited and anxious to take the Energy Leadership Index Assessment and reflect with Teresa’s tremendous guidance on how constructive and productive I actually am with my own use of energy, or realistically, how destructive or ineffective I can be with the use of energy! Teresa was a tremendous educator and such a gentle and compassionate teacher and coach.

— Jan Cheek, MSW, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Private Practice

 

As I worked through the assessment, I was still unclear regarding what direction this was taking me. However, in reviewing my assessment with Teresa, my eyes opened! The energy assessment brought my strengths and weaknesses to the forefront. Ironically I knew much of what was identified, but actually listening to Teresa describe it to me was the amazing part. I have not known Teresa long, but as we went through this process it was as if she had known me for a lifetime.

Since going through this process I have been able to identify my energy levels and consider how I am affecting the outcomes of particular situations. I have been able to take a step back and consider how to “act” instead of “react”. I now apply this to my everyday life, not just business. Being able to identify my energy levels and really consider how I am reacting after just one session is a major achievement. This assessment confirmed what I believe about myself and has helped me focus on my positive energy.

Teresa is a genuinely caring person. My favorite thing about Teresa is that she is not judgmental as she walks her clients through the process.
