Video & Audio
We love films & videos, podcasts & audio recordings. To ‘see’ someone or something, the world can aid in our learning in powerful ways. To ‘hear’ is to begin to listen deeply.
Assessments
A current snapshot is often useful to allow you to see where you are now in your development and provide insight into where you’d like to go in your future. We use a variety of behavioral, business, psychological assessments provide us a ‘look see.’

Effectiveness Institute Behavior Style
Understanding Behavior Styles can provide a strong foundation for building more effective communications, reducing tension and developing more productive work relationships.
Each Behavior Style, or style combination, has unique strengths and blindspots; no one style is “best.” Comparing and contrasting Behavior Styles can create more effective communication and interaction between the different styles. This tool measures the strengths and challenges of four primary Behavior Styles: Controller, Stabilizer, Analyzer, Persuader.
Behavior style shows up in the way you talk, gesture, choose words, make decisions, solve problems, face challenges and interact with others in consistent patterns. Discovering your behavior style is the first step in building stronger relationships, both at work and at home.
Focus Energy Balance Indicator (FEBI)
The FEBI provides insight into one’s preferences around four patterns – Driver, Organizer, Collaborator and Visionary. Patterns are determined by measuring nervous-system functions observed in movement, thoughts, feelings and everyday work behaviors. From the FEBI, you will learn:
- A deeper way to understand yourself, the people you work with, your significant relationships, clients and customers.
- An integrated mind-body view into your own use of the four patterns, comprising a whole and balanced leader.
- An individually designed way to further develop as an integrated leader.
- A powerful way of reading the energy of teams and organizations.
Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI)
The Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI) is a scientifically-validated and reliable 360 tool designed to assess the emotional and social competencies of individuals in organizations. It is based on the seminal work of Dr. Richard Boyatzis and Dr. Daniel Goleman, and builds on the HayGroup’s 35 years of competency research. The model includes 18 emotional competencies organized into four clusters: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management.
- Self-Awareness concerns knowing one’s internal states, preferences, resources, and intuitions.
- Self-Management refers to managing ones’ internal states, impulses, and resources.
- Social Awareness refers to how people handle relationships and awareness of others’ feelings, needs, and concerns.
- Relationship Management concerns the skill or adeptness at inducing desirable responses in others.
The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP)
TLCP is the only competency-based 360 assessment to simultaneously measure two primary leadership domains – Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies—that draw on beliefs and assumptions the underlie the leadership behaviors.
The Leadership Circle Profile is designed to measure leadership behavior at multiple stages of adult development consistent with the groundbreaking research of Kegan, Gilligan, Cook-Grueter, Beck, Wilber, and others.
It’s the only leadership assessment tool linking an executive’s leadership competencies to core beliefs that govern behavior. The Leadership Circle Profile instantly reveals key opportunities for development with its rich theoretical underpinnings providing a pathway to transformation.
