Energy Leadership incorporates a personal process to an individual leadership style that positively influences and changes not only yourself, but also those with whom you work and interact and your organization as a whole.

1. SEVEN LEVELS OF
ENERGY LEADERSHIP
Successfully Coaching a
Client Means Getting to
Their Energetic Core

2. ENERGY TYPES
Everyone’s energetic
makeup is comprised of
two types of energy:
Anabolic and Catabolic

3. CATABOLIC ENERGY
Catabolic energy is draining, resisting, and
contracting energy. It releases catabolic
chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline into our
bodies, which eat away at our cells. Catabolic
energy can give you an energetic boost during a
moment of stress, however, it can also act as a
filter or blinder by showing you a limited view of
a situation. This restricted view limits your
choices available to you. When experiencing
catabolic energy on a long-term basis, it takes
an emotional, physical, and mental toll that is
destructive on you, your organization, and all
those around you.

4. ANABOLIC ENERGY
Anabolic energy, on the other hand, is
constructive, expanding, healing, and
growth-oriented. Anabolic energy releases
anabolic hormones such as testosterone into
your body, and helps move you forward to
achieve positive, long-term, sustainable
results in all that you do. It is also useful in
leading others in the same direction. Your
use of anabolic energy allows you to have a
more complete and conscious view of what is
going on around you, and this allows you to
come up with solutions and innovations
more easily.

5. ENERGETIC SELF PERCEPTION
CHART
Both anabolic and catabolic energy are
spread across a spectrum of seven
levels known as the Energetic Self
Perception Chart. This chart was
created by Bruce D. Schneider, founder
of iPEC Coaching. Catabolic energy is
predominantly found in Levels 1 & 2,
while anabolic energy can be found in
Levels 3-7.

13. WHERE ARE YOU?
How we display this energy and how we experience
life is influenced by our thoughts, feelings, beliefs,
and behaviors. If you think of our energy in relation
to the Self perception Chart, it moves up and down
like a traded stock on the Stock Exchange. We may
be at any given level throughout our day. We may
start at Level 1 or 2 at the beginning of the day, and
find ourselves at Level 5 by the end of the day. Do
you find yourself remaining at a certain level
everyday? Think about where you may show up on
this scale with yourself, your friends, family, and
colleagues. As a leader, is it where you want to be?
Unlike our DNA, our energetic makeup can be
changed if it is not serving us in the capacity we want
or need.
