The MBTI process gave me a good sense of my personality type and working style. It also strengthened my ability to relate to others. Claudette guided me through this MBTI process confidently and knowledgeably and translated the information into an accessible and manageable set of concepts."

Embrace Your Talent: Career and Leadership Assessments

Have you ever taken a personality or strengths-based assessment and not known how to productively apply the results?

Or tossed the results in your desk drawer and forgotten about them?

What makes an assessment truly meaningful, useful and productive is an accurate interpretation and application of the results. How do you get that? By working with someone who's qualified to interpret the results, explain them to you clearly and concisely and help you understand the best ways to apply them.

Whether you're making a career transition, refining your skills as a leader or manager, or wanting a better understanding your natural strengths, talents and passions, these tools can transform your understanding of yourself.

Why? Because assessments I use help you isolate the how your mind functions and what you find meaningful. In other words, they help answer these two questions:

1. How does your mind work?

Understanding how your mind works is necessary for career satisfaction, knowing your life purpose, and recognizing what holds you back and moves you forward.

2. What do you find meaningful?

How do your heart, mind and soul work? Answering this question offers you a wealth of necessary information about what you want, what you need, what you believe and what you value.

What's the benefit of knowing this information?

As our economy, culture and environment shift and change, it's more important now than ever to be fully aware of your natural strengths, abilities, and talents and your passions, values and interests. Self-knowledge is a solid investment with lifelong benefit - it doesn't expire, wear out or become outdated. This investment is even more solid when you know the best ways to apply this information about yourself.

What's the best way to use an assessment?

Throughout my years as a coach, I've discovered that some assessments have even more value when combined with one or two others.  This combination forms a synergy and allows me to interpret in depth how your mind works and what your heart, intuition and soul has to say.

Assessment Options

To that end, I've developed the following assessment packages.  If you want to know more about how you function and how that informs your professional roles, your communication style and your natural strengths, talents and abilities, these assessment packages below are designed for you.

Option 1: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The MBTI is a paper and pencil instrument designed to help you understand your innate personality preferences in the following areas: where you get your energy, how you take in information, how you make decisions and how you prefer to operate in the outside world. For more detailed information on the MBTI, please go to http://www.metavoice.org/mbriggs.

Option 2: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Clifton StrengthsFinder 2.0 and Don't Waste Your Talent. This is a winning combination and helps you understand how your mind works. All three of these assessments are helpful are their own, but when used together, they form a unique synthesis. In other words, the whole is greater than the sum of their parts. For information on the Clifton StrengthsFinder 2.0, please visit http://www.strengthsfinder.com. For more information on the book Don't Waste Your Talent, please visit http://www.highlandsco.com/dwyt_page.php.

This option includes: all three assessments, my time scoring, interpreting and synthesizing the results, a brief report and a 60 minute feedback session. During the feedback session, I'll review your results, explain what they mean and I'll coach you on the best ways to apply the results.

Option 3: Passions, Values and Interests Interview. This interview process is targeted at helping you understand more about how your heart, intuition and soul work. Believe it or not, all three are elements critical to career satisfaction and leadership efficacy. I'll lead you through a 60-90 minute interview process during which I gather information about what you value, what interests you, what you're passionate about, and what you find meaningful.

The goal is to help you better understand which fields are a good fit for you and how your values, passions and interests influence your leadership, communication and work styles.

This option includes: the 60-90 minute interview, a brief report that captures the interview results, themes and conclusions, and a 30 minute feedback session. During the feedback session, we'll review the outcomes and I'll coach you on the best ways to apply the results.

Option 4: Embrace Your Talent Combination Package - This package combines options 2 and 3. If you want a complete picture of how your mind works and how you heart, intuition and soul work - to really embrace your talent - then this combination is for you. This option combines Options 2 and 3: the assessments, interview process, reports and two feedback sessions.
