Assessments
Here are some of the assessments that we use with our clients. If we’ve asked you take a specific test, please select it below to get started.
What is your leadership style?
There are six different measurable styles of leadership. Your leadership style(s) is a combination of your traits, competencies, and values. Each of these six styles and approaches can be effective if you are aware of your style and how it empowers and limits your leadership.
In our 40 years of advising, training, and coaching leaders, we consistently hear leaders compare themselves to other leaders they admire, often in a harsh and shame-evoking manner. Or we hear leaders trying to avoid appearing to be like a leader whose style they didn’t appreciate.
Identifying your style and your unique leadership voice is far more productive than trying to become or avoid becoming like another leader.

Talent Insights®
The talent insights report will increase the understanding of the individual’s talents. The report provides insight to three distinct areas: behavior, motivators and the integration of these. Understanding strengths and weaknesses in these areas will lead to the personal and professional development and a higher level of satisfaction in one’s work.
- Behaviors – The ability to help one interact effectively with people.
- Motivators – The why of one’s actions. What drives you to act.
- Integrating Behaviors and Motivators – The how and why of your actions.

DISC
This validated assessment analyzes behavioral styles; that is, your manner of doing things. Your behavior is a necessary and integral part of who you are. Some of it comes from “nature” (inherent), and some of it comes from “nurture” (your upbringing).
This report will measure four dimensions of normal behavior known as DISC:
- How you respond to problems and challenges
- How you influence others to your point of view
- How you respond to the pace of the environment
- How you respond to rules and procedures set by others
Values
Core values are the essential and enduring tenets that you use while making the most important decisions in your business and in your life. Typically, you’ll have four guiding values and three supporting values that are timeless guiding principles. Core values require no external justification; they have intrinsic value and importance to those around them, inside and outside the organization.
This assessment will help in guiding you in critical decisions and relationships.

Partner’s Report
Partnerships have a predetermined life expectancy. For most, the expectancy of the partnership is 10 years or less.
If you’re in a partnership, do you know the potential risks and rewards of the partnership? The high energy/low energy areas? This assessment should be done for all business partners, even if they are husband and wife, to determine the life expectancy for that partnership.
