Energy Leadership™ Coaching & Tawny Hammond

What is Energy Leadership™

The Science Behind Sustainable Change

Energy Leadership™ is a research-backed framework that recognizes energy—not just effort—shapes every experience, relationship, and outcome in your life. Developed by iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching), this approach uses proven tools like the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) assessment and the Seven Levels of Energy model.

How It Works: 

Energy Leadership™ helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and actions influence how you show up in the world. Instead of pushing harder through obstacles, you learn to shift your energy patterns to create sustainable momentum toward your goals.

The Seven Levels of Energy: 

From victim consciousness (Level 1) to absolute passion for all of life (Level 7), this model reveals where you typically operate and shows you how to access higher, more constructive energy levels that lead to better outcomes.

Why This Approach Works

Traditional approaches often focus on changing behaviors or setting goals. Energy Leadership™ goes deeper by addressing the energy that drives those behaviors. When you shift your energy, you naturally make different choices and take more effective actions.

This is about understanding the energy dynamics that create your current results and learning to consciously choose more constructive patterns.

Your Guide to Energy Leadership™

I'm Tawny Hammond, and I understand what it feels like to have big dreams while feeling uncertain about how to achieve them. I've navigated career transitions, built businesses, experienced both success and setbacks, and learned that sustainable transformation comes from shifting your energy, not just your effort.

My journey has taken me from decades of public service to entrepreneurship, from the helm of a boat as a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain to the coaching chair helping others chart their own course. Each experience taught me that when we align our energy with our purpose, we create the conditions for meaningful, lasting change.

Three Decades of Leadership Meets Proven Coaching Science

I bring over 30 years of leadership experience from municipal service, entrepreneurship, and transformational initiatives in community wellness. With a Master's in Interdisciplinary Studies - Leadership Studies and Contemporary Animal Services, and as a graduate of the International Association of Chiefs of Police Leadership Program, I understand leadership from both academic and practical perspectives.

As National Advisor for No Kill Advancement with Best Friends Animal Society, I write and speak about creating systemic change—work that combines my passion for meaningful impact with proven strategies.

My iPEC certification in Energy Leadership™ coaching gives me the tools to help you:

  • Identify your current energy patterns through the ELI assessment
  • Recognize what's truly holding you back
  • Shift from reactive to constructive energy
  • Create alignment between your values and actions
  • Build sustainable momentum toward your goals

I've also experienced personal transformation around health and wellness, giving me firsthand understanding of what it takes to create lasting change in all areas of life.

Life Beyond Coaching

When I'm not coaching, you'll find me on the water in northern Michigan, where I balance my professional work with a deep love for the outdoors. My Master Captain's License from the U.S. Coast Guard reflects my belief in the importance of navigation, preparation, and having a trusted guide when charting unknown waters.
