Assessments
Assessments offer valuable information leading to insight and understanding. These assessments provide clients with greater self-awareness about their personality, leadership style, working competencies, and emotional intelligence.
​
Upon completion of an assessment, I debrief clients on their results and they receive a detailed report to deepen their learning and develop actionable next steps. Assessment results provide a rich framework for identifying goals and opportunities that enhance leadership development and career success.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
Self-awareness is the first step towards personal and professional growth. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® assessment provides detailed information about personality types that helps individuals better understand their behaviours, motivations, strengths, preferences, and potential areas for growth. Insights from the MBTI® can be used to develop a deeper understanding of personality both individually and in an organizational context.
When applied to teams in the work environment, the MBTI® tool provides great benefits by delivering a framework in which team members can better understand and manage communication, work styles, team culture, leadership, change, problem solving, conflict resolution, and stress. This assessment enables individuals and teams to learn about themselves, each other, their leaders, and how these components fit together to boost team effectiveness, productivity, and success.
MBTI® Workshop: If you or your organization is interested in using the MBTI® as part of a team building process, please reach out. MBTI is great for enhancing team engagement and development, and overall team effectiveness.
Workshop format: Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)® Assessment; individual, small group, and large group interactive activities; teaching and discussion.
CliftonStrengths®
Gallup research shows that people who focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life in general. The CliftonStrengths 2.0® online assessment (formerly named the CliftonStrengthsFinder) helps you discover and define your top five natural talent themes.
Immediately after completing the online assessment, you will receive your Signature Theme Report highlighting your top five natural talent themes and customize descriptions of those talents that are specific to your most-dominant themes or natural talents and a personalized Action Planning Guide will help you in building on each of your top themes. The debrief session with your coach will provide you with resources and tools to help you learn how to do more of what you naturally do best. You will discover how your Signature Themes make you stand out in the world and how to put those talents to use everyday.
Because CliftonStrengths® focuses on your greatest opportunities for development and success, you can use your reports to develop your strengths in your career, your personal relationships, and while working in teams.

Learn about CliftonStrengths, discover what you naturally do best, what motivates you and what makes you feel strong and empowered. Discover how to unleash your talents, passions and energy to your advantage, and put your strengths to work everyday.

You will also learn new skills and techniques to build your strengths and actively use them, so you can be more productive, creative and energized.
Part II – The Four Domains
Teams benefit greatly when they understand the strengths of people with whom they work closely. Investing in and focusing on employees' talents boosts employee and customer engagement, according to Gallup's research, leading to higher levels of performance, profitability, and productivity. In this workshop you and your team will learn about the four domains of CliftonStrengths and how they can be leveraged to enhance workplace performance. Teams will deepen their understanding of the strengths-based approach giving them a common language to better describe, communicate and understand each other, and leverage individual strengths for powerful results.
Part III – Strengths-Based Leadership - CliftonStrengths for Managers
Leaders with a Strengths-Based Orientation focus on knowing and developing their teams and the individuals that compose them in order to achieve exceptional performance. In this workshop you will learn how to lead confidently and lead well by leading with your strengths. The CliftonStrengths for Managers Report outlines how you can leverage your strengths to lead more effectively and succeed in your role.
We will discuss practical ways to incorporate your strengths into your leadership role and strengthen your management approach.
Workshop format: CliftonStrengths Assessment; individual, small group, and large group interactive activities; teaching and discussion.
Emotional Intelligence
EQ-i 2.0®
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others and then use this awareness to manage your behaviour and build better relationships. Leaders with high emotional intelligence are more likely to create connected and motivated teams, increase work satisfaction, and foster organizational commitment.
The EQ-i 2.0® assessment is one of the most reliable and widely used EQ assessment tools. It measures a set of emotional and social skills in 15 competencies grouped into five composites: Self-Perception, Self-Expression, Interpersonal, Decision Making, and Stress Management. The comprehensive report provides a detailed analysis of your results, describing how your EQ competencies work together. It also provides suggested strategies for bringing your EQ competencies into balance for greater effectiveness.
In your one-on-one coaching debrief, we will review your results and identify the EQ competencies you want to work on to improve your effectiveness as a leader and team player.
Like the EQ-i 2.0®, the EQ 360® deepens your understanding by comparing your own self-assessment with feedback from others who have answered the same questions about you. The raters, chosen and invited by you, may include leaders or managers, colleagues, direct reports, family, and friends to provide a comprehensive 360° of your emotional and social functioning.
This additional information is extremely helpful and leads to greater insights, growth, and development. Once you have decided to take the EQ 360®, you will receive instructions on how to select and categorize your raters as well as instructions to take the EQ-i 2.0® assessment. Once your raters have completed their feedback, I create the report and contact you to review your results.
In your one-on-one coaching debrief, we will review your self-assessment results with the information provided by your raters on the 15 competencies. Your report will provide key insights identifying your leadership potential, gaps, and strategies to help you strengthen your EI leadership skills.
