Leadership Coaching

Through market-leading personality, career, and organizational development assessments, we support both personal and professional development.

We empower individuals to be the best versions of themselves by enriching self-awareness and understanding of others. We help organizations of all sizes improve teamwork and collaboration, develop inspirational leaders, foster diversity and solve their most complex people challenges.

Through the use of established assessments, professional experts, and trainers, our practical solutions are grounded in a deep understanding of psychometric tools: a platform for constant improvement. The psychometric tools provide an understanding of what really makes people tick, helping you to enhance organizational strengths and make great improvements in problem areas.

Our assessments can be mixed and matched to:

Optimize leadership at all levels throughout your organization
Build and develop great teams that are your organization’s powerhouse
Enhance communication skills individually, within a team or across a whole business
Reduce damaging conflict and the time and resources spent on it
Build resilience to stress to prevent its damaging effects

Our psychometric tools and insight can help you overcome a variety of common business issues, unlocking the potential of you and your workforce.

Build a culture of performance

To compete and win in today’s global business environment, successful organizations must be structured for speed, agility, and adaptability. Objective insight into your strengths and blind spots, as well as seeing how you differ from others, is invaluable in your work, relationships, and life. Our proven assessments support meaningful learning about yourself, and are far more than simple personality tests. Discover how we can help you benefit from the increased understanding and expanded life choices self-awareness brings.

CALIFORNIA PSYCHOLOGICAL INVENTORY™ (CPI™)

Discover leadership potential through deep personality insights.

Identify and Nurture Talent

The California Psychological Inventory™ (CPI™) assessments are powerful tools for helping individuals improve their performance. Using a sophisticated technique to extract detailed personality insights, they summarize and explain how other people see a person and judge his or her leadership style. In a recent survey, 66% of organizations reported that they had improved individuals’ leadership effectiveness using the CPI 260® assessment. The CPI 260 assessment enables organizations to find and develop high-potential employees, making it an essential tool for your investment in employee training and development.

Enhance Executive Management Training

The CPI assessments help people gain a clearer picture of their personal and work-related characteristics, motivations, and thinking style. They use an empirical measure, comparing an individual’s responses to data on 5,600 managers and executives who participated in the Leadership Development Program at the Center for Creative Leadership® (CCL®). The CPI assessments indicate which of four different ways of living, or lifestyles, best describe the respondent. They offer a unique perspective on how people manage themselves and deal with others, indicating strengths and developmental opportunities.

The CPI 260® Assessment will enable you to:

Identify strengths and management development opportunities.
Increase your self-awareness and help you adjust your behaviors for maximum effectiveness.
Empower you to reach your full potential through a structured, consultative approach.
Improve your leadership skills and help you fulfill your career path.
Learn how to use the CPI 260 assessment and discover how to effectively identify and develop your leadership traits.
