The Lift Index
Your new roadmap to a life of significance and meaning.
Introducing The LIFT Index, a framework designed to help women leaders understand where they are in their journey to a success defined on their terms.
By identifying your current level from Seeking to Significance, you can gain clarity on what you need most right now to move toward your next level of growth, fulfillment, and purpose, every day.
What is the LIFT Framework?
LIFT stands for Living Intentionally, Fearlessly, Transformatively. It reflects the seasons a successful purpose-driven woman leader moves through toward signficance (and back again, if we choose!): cycles of clarity, growth, and meaning that shape how we show up in work and life for ourselves and those we want to uplift. Each of the five levels represents a stage of this journey:
Level 1
Seeking
Awakening your
potential
Level 2
Striving
Building
momentum
Level 3
Steadfast
Balance and
stability
Level 4
Shining
Authentic
self-expression
Level 5
Significance
Legacy and
fulfillment
You were meant to lift, lead, and leave a mark that matters.
Unlock the next stage of growth waiting for you.

A note from the woman behind the lift index
I’m Erika Brechtel, and for over 20 years I’ve worked as a brand consultant helping women leaders, founders, and changemakers build brands that reflect who they are and the impact they want to make. Along the way, I’ve also been on my own journey as a social entrepreneur and the founder of Élanoura, creating opportunities for women globally to connect, grow, and lead with purpose.
I created The LIFT Index because I know how transformative it can be to understand where you are in your journey and what it takes to move forward with clarity and confidence. My goal is to help women connect more deeply with their purpose, expand their influence, and live lives full of meaning, fulfillment, and impact.
This is about helping you elevate into your next era toward significance by aligning with your inner calling. I speak from my own experience and from working with so many women like you over the years: Success hits differently when it’s measured by your joy, your values, and your vision.
I can’t wait for you to own your next level up, take action, and lift your life and those around you!
