Personal Development

Our career matching package includes an extensive talent assessment, career-talent matching analysis and map, and career evaluation and exploration coaching to gain clarity and answer the cornerstone strategic question: “What career options have the greatest potential for delivering a feeling of purpose, success and happiness”.

Through a combination of talent assessment analysis and powerful discovery questioning techniques, you'll identify and narrow good career options to a smaller list of high-potential options.

For those with some career direction already established, we’ll hone in on ideal companies and industries, niche types of jobs, soft skill development and identifying and removing barriers.

For those who feel they have “no clear options or career direction”, we replace lack of clarity with high-potential options.

Leaders and Managers Development Tune-Up™ 

Includes a suite of assessments and three months of  coaching (15 sessions)

Self-awareness is the beginning to a journey that includes developing leader communication and coaching skills to bring maximum influence to your organization. Leader communication skills can then be developed to an advanced level.

Based on a unique, 55-factor analysis, our keystone assessment examines the leader behaviors that you bring to the job, the motivators that drive them, your cognitive acumen (clarity of thinking) to do the job and your developed (and not so developed) skills/competencies. Together, we reveal specific details in four areas that describe the how, why, what and can so you can focus on developing to achieve superior performance.

Behaviors: The How

Knowledge is the biggest modifier of behavior for anyone but especially for leaders. With the behavioral results, you'll understand, appreciate and adapt your behavioral style for effective communication. Based on the DISC theory, behavior is measured in four dimensions; dominance, influence, steadiness and compliance which are translated into a hierarchy of twelve behavioral traits scored on a 10-point scale. Knowing your behavioral design and that of others empowers action towards leader growth.

Personal Motivators / Driving Forces: The Why

As a window through which we view the world, motivators are the driving forces of our behavior, or what motivates our actions. Motivators are measured in six areas: theoretical, utilitarian, aesthetic, social, individualistic and traditional. With an understanding of your personal motivators, you can encourage others (lead and manage) in a way that leverages and more effectively satisfies their inner drive. 

Acumen Indicator: The Can

Acumen reveals how astutely a person analyzes and interprets their experiences. A person’s acumen, or keenness and depth of perception or discernment, is directly related to performance. For leaders and managers, it is an extremely important area of your talent. The stronger a person’s acumen, the more aware they are of their reality in both their external and internal world. Acumen can be developed!

Competencies: The What

Development indicator skills or work-related soft skill competencies describe what an individual’s strengths are in 25 research-based capacities, or personal skills. These skills are directly related to the business environment. The assessment captures your perception of capability in 25 personal skills using quantitative measurement for each capacity. The top skills outlined in the report highlight your well developed capabilities, revealing the areas where you are most effective. The key for leaders and managers is to ensure the inherent skills align with the personal skills required as a leader and manager.

We generate a supplemental report from the acumen results called Personal Talent Skills for Leaders and Managers that focus specifically on leadership skills.

Other Assessments can be included:

• Workplace Stress Quotient

• Emotional Quotient

Additional Client Materials

We assemble all assessment results and other materials into an organized binder that you'll value far beyond our time together. You'll also receive reading assignments including targeted books to supplement the coaching.
