Assessments

360 Degree Assessment gathers feedback from colleagues at many levels within an organization and provides valid feedback about how the client is perceived by others. This process helps the client to increase self awareness and understand his/her impact on others. It targets gaps and creates a focus for coaching.

DiSC Behavior Assessment is a widely-used, extensively validated, self-administered questionnaire used to generate an individualized and specific profile based on one’s behaviors. When used in conjunction with coaching, the DiSC assessment highlights the client’s impact on others and areas where the client may be out of alignment with his/her environment. The DiSC assessment helps to create an action plan for improving communication, increasing employee performance and job satisfaction, hiring, and developing overall organizational effectiveness. As a coaching tool, this assessment provides a blueprint for leadership success.

Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI) focuses on motivational styles when things are going well. It also reveals a person’s conflict styles, strengths and overdone strengths in order to help professionals gain a better understanding of the “why” behind their behaviors. Ultimately, developing stronger self-awareness increases an individual’s effectiveness and helps them to be more successful in their roles.

Motivators – Personal Interest Attitude Values Assessment answers the “why” regarding behavior and helps clients understand the beliefs behind their decisions. This is often a critical first-step in the individual coaching process and helps to clarify the client’s core values as a foundation for ongoing work.

Role Behavioral Assessment assists managers in developing and defining the qualities and behaviors desired of a specific role within the organization. These tools can be used to determine how well a candidate fits into that role and supports team development.

Other Assessments provide clients with the opportunity to generate greater self-awareness and develop action plans to succeed. Topics include time mastery and personal productivity, listening, team expectations, and sales communication. Clients measure themselves against criteria developed to aid in setting priorities and goals, thereby focusing on the areas necessary to succeed and be fulfilled.

Team Cultural Assessment is used to determine the existing team dynamic and the qualities necessary to create the desired culture.

Team Positivity and Productivity Assessment
measures the positivity and productivity of the team and identifies behaviors
to increase its effectiveness to become a highly productive/highly positive
team.
