Executive Assessments and Coaching
You’re on the leadership path, but…
It’s riddled with stumbling blocks.
You know effective decision-making is the bedrock of successful leadership, and you’re repeatedly grappling with tough choices, feeling unsure of the best course of action.
To make matters worse, you might be noticing a growing disconnect between your intentions and the impact of your communication on your team and colleagues.
The growing anxiety makes it hard to embrace change.
And if it’s hard for you…
It’s going to be hard on your team. When you can’t connect to a compelling vision, it’s hard to convince your team that their efforts are advancing toward it.
In the background, you might even feel like your personal and professional growth has stalled.
The dimming light is affecting your mood and making you less effective than you could be.
You need a fresh approach.
In the dynamic world of leadership, self-awareness and continuous growth are the cornerstones of success.
If you’re struggling with decision-making, communicating clearly, forging a vision, or adapting to change and transition…
These difficulties are signaling a need for deep introspection into your leadership style, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and personality characteristics.
You’re here because you see the signs and want to be the best leader you can be.
To get where you want to go…
You have to be clear about where you are.
And that’s where the Executive Assessment comes into play.
As a psychologist and executive coach with a background in neuropsychology, I understand the pivotal role assessments play in honing the skills and capabilities of executives.
A unique, multidimensional approach sees you from every angle.
The Executive Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation integrating cognitive, psychological, personality, and leadership-style assessments to provide a holistic understanding of your leadership capabilities.
Cognitive assessment…
We’ll examine your decision-making, problem-solving, and strategic thinking. By understanding your cognitive strengths and weaknesses, we’ll identify ways to leverage and lean on your strengths, identify areas for improvement, develop tailored training programs, and arm you with the essential information needed to optimize your cognitive performance in demanding work scenarios.
Psychological assessment…
It’s important to understand your emotional intelligence, resilience, stress-management skills, and interpersonal dynamics. These factors determine your ability to lead and collaborate effectively within teams.
Personality assessment…
Your personality greatly influences how you perceive and interact with the world. Understanding your unique personality profile will reveal your natural inclinations and communication preferences. This knowledge will help you leverage your strengths and develop strategies to mitigate potential challenges.
Leadership-style assessment…
There are LOTS of different leadership styles, and what works for one in a given setting may not yield the same results elsewhere. We’ll evaluate your leadership style by examining your tendencies, approach to conflict resolution, delegation skills, and ability to inspire and motivate others. Looking at your leadership strengths and opportunities, we’ll develop coaching interventions that enhance your leadership effectiveness and align your style to your overall organizational goals and values.
The knowledge you’ll gain is of limitless value.
Integrating your assessment results into a cohesive framework positions you for performance.
Accelerated self-awareness…
You’ll be crystal clear on your unique strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth in all relevant areas for leadership and peak performance.
Minimized blind spots…
Even the most accomplished executives have blind spots, but after the Executive Assessment, you’ll have an unobstructed 360-degree view of yourself.
Targeted development…
Backed by a detailed assessment report, you can embark on targeted development plans that address specific areas of improvement. This personalized approach ensures developmental efforts are focused, efficient, and yield tangible results.
Enhanced decision-making…
Thorough knowledge of your cognitive abilities and psychological tendencies results in more informed decisions. You’ll seamlessly navigate complex challenges, consider multiple perspectives, and foster a culture of inclusive decision-making within your organization.
Improved team dynamics…
Knowing yourself helps you see others more clearly. You’ll recognize and appreciate diverse personality types within your team and more easily adapt your communication style, motivate individuals effectively, and foster a harmonious and productive work environment.
Here’s what to expect…
While always tailored to your unique needs, the evaluation process typically takes the following path:
1. Background, history, and goal-setting…
We begin with a thorough discussion of your concerns, personal and career history, and any other relevant background information. This helps me form a clear picture of your unique situation. We also discuss your ideal outcomes and what it looks like to achieve those goals. The assessment is designed to help you achieve your stated objectives.
2. Comprehensive assessment…
The Executive Assessment is the most multidimensional approach you can take to understanding yourself as a leader. It offers a complete and comprehensive understanding of your capabilities.
3. Analysis and interpretation…
After gathering the necessary information, I meticulously analyze the results. This involves comparing your performance against others of similar age and background and considering any individual factors that may be influencing the outcomes.
4. Feedback and recommendations…
I walk you through a detailed report summarizing the findings and clear and actionable recommendations. This may include targeted interventions and suggestions for additional support.
5. Planning for next steps…
Based on the assessment outcomes, we work together to develop a tailored plan to address your unique development. Follow-up executive coaching is available.
This isn’t just about YOUR leadership skills…
Sure, your suite of peak-performance tactics is important, but this is also about growing and developing your team.
The Executive Assessment is key to optimally leveraging your team’s human capital. It’s also invaluable for supporting effective role placement and succession planning.
