Each individual that we coach has access to our extensive library of assessment tools to obtain critical self knowledge regarding their behavioral, management, leadership, and communication styles and preferences. Some of the tools available can also measure leadership and management competencies based on self ratings and ratings from others (managers, peers, direct reports, clients). These results can be analyzed for gaps between the various raters and against norms to establish personalized development plans. We work with our clients to customize an assessment program that fits their needs and augments any recent assessment work that has been performed. Examples of the assessment tools we would choose from include:

• DISC which indicates management and behavioral preferences
• Personal Interests, Attitudes, and Values (PIAV)
• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
• EQ Map which indicates emotional intelligence
• Kolbe which indicates conative and instinctual strengths
• Hermann Brain Dominance Indicator which indicates thinking style
• Personal Coaching Style Indicator (PCSI) looks at communication style
• Successful Career Planning looks at fit between job and behavioral preferences
• Leadership Practices Inventory rates competencies versus norms for successful leaders and versus perceptions of other raters (360 degree multi-rater).
