Services for Individuals

Assessments

Birkman Method

The Birkman explores not just what you do at work, but also what you need to stay motivated and productive. It helps individuals understand their usual style, their stress triggers, and what kind of environment allows them to thrive.

DiSC

DiSC breaks down communication and work styles into four easy-to-understand categories: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. On the individual level, it helps people see how they come across to others and how they might flex their style to connect better.

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder)

This assessment identifies a person’s natural talents — the things they do exceptionally well without even trying. Individually, it helps people focus less on “fixing weaknesses” and more on leveraging their best qualities.

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)

The TKI focuses on how people handle conflict — whether they tend to avoid, compete, accommodate, compromise, or collaborate. It increases self-awareness around stress responses and decision-making.

360-Degree Feedback

Unlike self-assessments, 360 feedback gathers input from peers, managers, and even direct reports, giving individuals a full-circle view of how they’re perceived. It helps people see blind spots, recognize strengths they might overlook, and understand how their behavior impacts others.

New Leader Acceleration

A focused engagement service designed to help new leaders and their teams quickly establish trust, clarity, and productive ways of working together. Designed for Director-level and above with five or more direct reports.

Coaching

Executive Coaching

Executive coaching provides leaders with a dedicated space to reflect, grow, and apply new strategies in real time. Through 4–6 one-on-one sessions, participants get tailored support to sharpen their leadership skills, strengthen communication, and navigate challenges with confidence. Coaching can stand alone as a powerful development tool, or it can be paired with assessments for deeper self-awareness and more targeted growth.

Pairing coaching with an assessment allows leaders to move from insight to action. The assessment reveals patterns, and coaching helps translate those insights into practical, lasting change. Here’s how coaching would focus with each tool:

  • 360 Feedback – Coaching helps leaders process feedback from all angles, prioritize areas for growth, and create actionable plans that build trust and credibility.
  • Birkman – Coaching highlights personal motivators and stress triggers, and helps leaders shape environments where they—and their teams—perform at their best.
  • DiSC – Coaching focuses on communication and influence, helping leaders flex their style to connect effectively across personality types.
  • CliftonStrengths – Coaching zeroes in on natural talents, guiding leaders to leverage their strengths more intentionally and align them with organizational needs.
