What is Core Energy™ Coaching?

Core Energy™ Coaching, developed by iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching), focuses on the root cause of a client’s challenges. It explores the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that influence people's actions, helping them uncover and shift limiting patterns. Unlike traditional coaching, which often emphasizes short-term goal setting, Core Energy™ Coaching creates sustainable, long-lasting change by transforming clients from the inside out.

At the heart of this method is the belief that energy—the physical manifestation of human consciousness—is the foundation of human experience. Core Energy™ Coaches help clients harness and redirect their energy to reduce stress, enhance self-awareness, and achieve their highest potential.

What Sets a Core Energy™ Coach Apart?

A Core Energy™ Coach is not just a problem solver. We are facilitators of profound self-discovery. We are trained to identify hidden patterns that block success—things like self-limiting beliefs, habitual thought cycles, or unexamined emotions.

Through highly personalized coaching sessions, Core Energy™ Coaches will guide you to:

• Gain clarity about your current mindset and emotional state. This involves understanding your current energy level. Awareness is the foundation of change, and creating it is the essential first step.
• Reframe challenges into opportunities for growth. This process helps raise your energy level, equipping you with the mindset needed to take purposeful action.
• Align your actions with your values and long-term goals. This represents the redirection of your energy into an unblocked, productive flow, supporting you in achieving your aspirations.

One of the most distinctive tools we use is the Energy Leadership Index™ (ELI) assessment. This scientifically validated tool measures a person’s energetic profile under normal circumstances and stress, providing a roadmap for intentional growth.

How Is a Person’s Energetic Profile Measured?

One standout feature of Core Energy™ Coaching is its focus on measurable outcomes. The ELI assessment allows you to gain insight into your energetic patterns and tracks changes over time. 

The assessment evaluates energy across seven levels, ranging from lower states like apathy and anger to higher states like peace and joy, under both ideal and stressful circumstances. Weighted calculations are used to produce the average resonating level, or E-Factor, of a person’s energetic profile. Awareness is the cornerstone of all change. By understanding how you energetically show up in your life, you can work with me to intentionally shift your energy, creating greater alignment with their aspirations. 

Taking the ELI is simple: I will provide you with all the details to complete the online leadership assessment, which typically takes just 20-30 minutes.

Moreover, follow-up assessments serve as powerful tools to quantify growth and return on investment, making Core Energy™ Coaching both transformational and transparent.

The Science Behind Core Energy™ Coaching

Core Energy™ Coaching isn’t just intuitive—it’s backed by decades of research. Its principles draw from diverse fields, including psychology, quantum physics, neuro-linguistic programming, and leadership development.

Key studies, including one involving nearly 30,000 coaching clients, have demonstrated its effectiveness. These findings revealed:

• A statistically significant increase in core energy of clients, regardless of demographic characteristics. 
  
• A  statistically significant shift from catabolic (draining) energy to anabolic (constructive) energy, even under stress.
• Improvements in life satisfaction across 14 key areas like relationships, leadership, and health.
• The change in a person’s E-Factor (average energy profile factor) as the main predictor of the change in life satisfaction ratings.

Why Core Energy™ Coaching Works

What makes this approach so effective is its emphasis on sustainable change. While traditional coaching may offer quick wins, Core Energy™ Coaching ensures those wins are built on a foundation of personal alignment and self-awareness.

Clients often report feeling more empowered, energized, and aligned with their true purpose. Whether they’re navigating a career shift, improving relationships, or seeking personal clarity, the process opens doors to possibilities they hadn’t seen before.
