Finding out my E-Factor™ was a life-changing experience for me. At first, I was upset that the results showed that I have catabolic (negative) energy. My coach helped me realize, that most people have lots of catabolic energy due to past experiences. From that point on, the process of releasing that negative energy and creating a positive one has been very empowering.
Working with the E-Factor helps to understand your potential and the path to success. I know this from using it with my clients but I didn’t know how powerful it is, until this week, when iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) announced the results of groundbreaking new research that confirms something that I’ve known all along — the E-Factor, the combined numerical value of a person’s spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical energy, measured by the Energy Leadership™ Index assessment , is, in fact, tied to an individual’s level of satisfaction in work and in life.
So what’s the E-Factor?
The E-factor is an indicator of success, it’s a numerical value (between 0 and 7) that is determined using an online assessment – The Energy Leadership Index assessment.
The assessment is based on the Energetic Self Perception chart which delineates seven consciousness, with the first two levels being catabolic (destructive, draining, de-motivating, or contracting) and the next five being anabolic (constructive, rejuvenating, self-motivating, or expanding). The Energy Leadership Index assessment quantifies the way in which an individual perceives and approaches work and life, and reacts to different circumstances and experiences. The result produces a combined numerical value of spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical energy – the E-Factor – that indicates the person’s overall level of consciousness.
The study reveals that relative to individuals with low anabolic energy (E-Factor < 2.5), individuals with high anabolic energy (E-Factor > 4) are 3.4 times as likely to be satisfied with their engagement at work, 7.5 times with their financial success and 2.9 times with their work/life balance. They are also more than 20 times as likely to be satisfied with their level of energy which is a key factor for success.
So, why is this news so important, and the study so significant?
Because we are excited to see evidence of the effectiveness of the work we do daily with our clients. Using a coaching process that was specifically designed to enable individuals to shift their energy from the catabolic range to the anabolic range we are helping our clients to be more engaged and satisfied. This shift has been documented in thousands of case studies and testimonials and I have personally witnessed my clients shifting their energy levels and gaining more success.

The last couple of days have been very cold here in Atlanta. Many of my coaching clients feel affected by the weather: that they’re not as active as before, have stopped exercising and feel heavy and stuck. The weather really affects people’s attitude, mood and behavior.
One of the reasons why I love coaching is because I get so inspired and I learn so much from my clients. Here are some things I learned from my clients about dealing with the cold:

Life Coaching is a one-on-one professional partnership between two – you and the coach – that enables you to realize your life vision, clarify your deepest desires, and create a plan of action for success. Coaching takes what’s inside and translates it into outer goals that you can accomplish one by one.
Coaching helps you move from where you are now to where you want to be in the future.

Coaching is different from therapy, consulting, mentoring and even friendship.
Coaching is not therapy
In therapy, we usually focus on the past. Therapists help their clients to fix problems and overcome issues by digging into the past and asking why things happen. In coaching, we don’t dwell on the clients’ past or try to analyze behavior. That does not mean a coach will ignore the past – it must be recognized and accepted. The focus in coaching is how to move forward.

The training was great, but what was even more amazing was to get to know all these people, who are so committed to grow and change into powerful leaders. I was so inspired by being among people who THINK BIG. It made me want to create an extraordinary life for myself and others.
100 years ago, Wallace D. Wattles wrote in his book The Science of getting RICH:
“[The] universal law by which all life advances continuously into fuller expression. . .is that whenever an organism has more life than can find expression by functioning perfectly on a given plane, its surplus life lifts it to the next higher plane. When you put enough of yourself into your present work to do it perfectly, your surplus power will extend your work into a large field. It is also essential that you should have in mind what you want, so that your surplus power may be turned in the right direction.”
