Psychometric Profiling for Coaching & Career Development
We provide effective coaching and profiling tools to support you in managing your career, available as a stand-alone career consultation or as part of an ongoing programme. These tools provide great insights whether you’re planning to develop within your current role, progress to another position, or are considering a change of career altogether.
We recommend the Extended DISC® profiling tool for this purpose, and a personal Career Development coaching session will provide you with:
- Laser-sharp analysis of your strengths and development areas so you can get maximum leverage from your existing skills, optimising your performance and productivity right away.
- Insight into your key motivators, and the job types to which you’re most suited, providing a clear profile of your authentic communication and leadership style.
- A clear view of what you don’t know you don’t know about your current leadership style, enabling you to demonstrate you’re ready now for the leadership level you’re aiming for.
- More than 20 pages of accurate, comprehensive analysis covering work styles, behaviours and preferences. This report summarises key learning points and suggestions for action. It provides you with a record of the conversation which you can refer back to and use to monitor your progress.
- A key unique advantage of this particular profiling tool: the comparison of your unconscious preferences with conscious behaviour. This identifies values conflicts, a poor culture fit, stress, or even burnout (and can help you to fix a situation before a problem occurs.)
- A single, affordable, high-impact high-value session providing coaching and action planning which you can implement immediately.
- A simple but detailed step-by-step guide, removing the guesswork from your career management.
What is Extended DISC®?
Extended DISC® is one of the world’s fastest growing assessment systems and an increasingly popular alternative to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator which was developed in 1942. It’s used worldwide by well-known multinationals who like its accuracy and its comparator element. In fact, this is Extended DISC’s added advantage – it measures not just who you are naturally, but also compares to how you’re adapting yourself in your present work environment.
So it illustrates not just who you are now, but who you might most easily become. It sets out comfort zones and stretch zones, and offers a natural development path that’s realistic and achievable. It’ll also instantly highlight any causes of discomfort such as values conflicts, or unease in a new role. And it’s equally powerful in identifying jobs or job types or work cultures circumstances that allow you to play to your strengths.
Extended DISC® is available in 40 languages (so can be completed in your language of choice) and is therefore ideal for teams of multiple nationalities.
A sample report is available on request. The questionnaire takes only about 10 to 15 minutes and is available to complete online now.
