ASSESSMENTS
RESULTS COME FROM KNOWLEDGE STEEPED IN DATA
We Trust the Data.
Getting top results. Building a healthy organizational culture. Retaining top talent in a highly competitive marketplace. The list is what your organization wants to achieve is long, and it can seem insurmountable. That’s where the data comes in.
We work with several assessments to help our clients achieve business metrics goals. But not just any assessments. We’ve searched the landscape of assessments and have chosen instruments that are backed by thorough research and rigorous, lengthy testing.
Assessments We Use in Our Work
We’ve carefully selected a number of assessments that meet a variety of needs. But an assessment is only useful if you’re going to put action behind it. Assessments work best when they’re interpreted by a certified professional and backed by executive coaching. If you plan to have a meeting, hand out assessment results to your team, and leave it there, you won’t get the best results. In fact, assessments are merely a starting point. Assessments point to areas of opportunity for growth and improvement. That’s why we offer assessments in tandem with coaching. We want you to see results.

Emotional Intelligence Assssment for Leadership (EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360)
Assessing Emotional Intelligence in Leaders and Improving Organizational Culture

The EQ 360 assessment provides a more in-depth analysis by having those who work with the person being assessed provide information as well. When observer ratings are compared with the results of an EQ-i 2.0 self-report a more detailed profile emerges. Both assessments measure emotional intelligence (EI) using one total score, five composite scores, and 15 specific subscale scores. Item-level results are also presented.
The EQ-i 2.0 model of emotional intelligence is based on fifteen competencies grouped into five composites: Self-Perception, Self-Expression, Interpersonal, Decision Making and Stress Management. The fifteen competencies, taken together, provide a total EQ.
