Understanding You and How You Best Relate to Others

Ready for a shortcut to understanding
yourself?
Assessment is not the TRUTH, but it is an economic
shortcut to saving you a lot of time in figuring out where
to start with knowing yourself.
In my own journey with more than 3,000 clients over a 25
year span of professional business, executive and
developmental coaching, I have found assessments to be the
most important investment a person can make.
It’s not to replace appropriate self-study, introspection
and exploration, but to augment that work, that inevitably
is a part of every person’s journey of maturation.
Over the years, I’ve gathered together an assessment
portfolio which I believe can create the greatest amount
of leverage quickly with the least amount of effort, to
provide the opportunity to compound any developmental
opportunity.

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument
(TKI)
Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI): Navigating Conflict with Awareness and Agility
The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is the world’s best-selling instrument for conflict resolution. The forced-choice, self-scoring inventory identifies a person’s preferred conflict-handling style, or mode, and provides detailed information about how he or she can use the five modes—competing, avoiding, accommodating, compromising, and collaborating—effectively. It is a widely used psychological assessment tool that helps individuals understand how they respond to conflict and how they can adapt their style to different situations. Developed by Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann, the TKI is based on a two-dimensional model that maps conflict behavior along the axes of assertiveness (the extent to which you try to satisfy your own concerns) and cooperativeness (the extent to which you try to satisfy others’ concerns).

MBTI® Step II: Uncovering the Nuances of Personality and Preference
The MBTI Step II assessment is an advanced version of the widely known Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, one of the most popular personality instruments in the world. With a proven record of reliability spanning more than 50 years, it offers a foundation for understanding individual differences and applying that understanding to the ways people think, communicate, and interact. Versatile and dependable, the MBTI tool sets the stage for lifelong learning and development. While the original MBTI helps individuals identify their four-letter personality type (such as INFP or ESTJ), Step II takes this exploration deeper by breaking each of the four preference pairs into five underlying facets, creating a more refined and individualized picture of personality.
