Assessments

"Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself
is enlightenment"
Lao-Tzu

With my background in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, I know that the right assessment used at the right time can provide you with insight to yourself and to others that no amount of "feedback" could accomplish. I use behavioral inventories to provide you with insights to your personal preferences and to give you a better understanding of others' behavior. I use a variety of other assessments and surveys to help identify your approach to conflict resolution, work relationships, stress, and other factors that can help or hinder your progress. These tools can be used in individual coaching sessions, throughout a coaching series, or as a part of a small group workshop. The following are some of the assessments that I use.

Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI)
This assessment identifies a person’s preferred style of interacting in four basic preference areas: Extraversion-Introversion, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, and Judgment-Perception. This is an ideal tool to use with work groups that need to work more effectively together by enabling them to leverage and respect their differences. The Myers Briggs also helps couples, friends, and family members gain a better understanding of each other.

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)
Everyone has a preferred style of dealing with conflict. The TKI identifies your preferred style of dealing with conflict which is the first step to learning how to effectively handle the variety of conflict situations in your life. Your results from this instrument will help to explain why you have more trouble in certain conflicts than in others. With these results, we can help you move more easily from conflict to resolution in all situations.

Communication Profile
Everyone has a preferred way to take in and communicate information. Based on the concepts of Neurolinguistic Programming, this assessment identified whether you rely more on Auditory, Visual, or Kinesthetic which explains why you feel more comfortable in some situations than others. Learning your preferred communication channel will allow you to communicate more effectively with a wider variety of people.
