Assessments We Use
Executive - Leadership - Career
Does it sometimes seem like you and your team members are speaking different languages? A variety of factors influence team communication, including varying individual learning styles and cultural norms. Understanding and leveraging these group and individual dynamics is a key asset of good leadership.
However, sometimes even the best manager needs a reliable adviser to help pinpoint and solve internal issues.
WE GET RESULTS
We are experts at assessing organizations and at utilizing simple techniques to create breakthrough results.
Our assessments include the use of several industry standard tools, including Myers-Briggs (MBTI), Benchmarks, and the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI), which creates a common framework for working through issues that cause stress and loss of productivity.
The results enable us to identify issues and craft strategies for improvement in many areas, including:
Decision making
Conflict resolution and problem solving
Leveraging team capabilities
Career exploration
Communication Effectiveness
Learning challenges
Individual/group diagnosis and intervention
Communication Effectiveness
Interviewing skill development
Developing personal self-awareness
ASSESSMENT OPTIONS
HBDI
The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) is a tool for the physiological assessment of thinking preferences aiding in cognitive development. It assists us in understanding individual styles and preferences to situational circumstances, including conflict resolution, problem solving, communication, creativity, decision making, learning styles and more.
The HBDI profile requires a certified practitioner who administers and debriefs the results and then interprets and applies your profile results to your questions, stress triggers or other personal or team hurdles.
