FOR INDIVIDUALS
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™ (MBTI): The (MBTI) is a self-report questionnaire designed by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers to help people understand their preferential ways of thinking. Individuals take in and process information in different ways and this instrument is designed to help people understand those differences. These differences are often a source of misunderstanding and miscommunication. At work, this results in ineffectiveness and lack of productivity. Yet, if we understand our differences and appreciate both our own gifts and the gifts of those different from us, we can enhance the success of our own work and that of our team.
MBTI – Level One: The Level One Assessment provides you with a one page “Profile” and a five page “Interpretive Report”. The Level One provides you with a summary of your “type”, explanations of the various preferences, characteristics associated with the type and an easy to read graph displaying the clarity preference indicator. In addition, you will receive an Interpretive Report that provides you with an extensive description of ‘your four-letter type’. The report will provide additional details regarding the patterns that make your type unique. Your report is presented to you in a one hour facilitated meeting with a certified MBTI coach to ensure that you understand and can apply the results. You will also receive a free copy of the booklet, Introduction to Type.
MBTI – Level Two: The Level Two Assessment provides you with a four page “graphical” representation of your type and the sub-scales associated with your type. The sub-scales are those facets that, when combined, create your type. The report concludes with an interpretive summary and a statistical range of the scores of individuals who have the same type preferences. You will also receive an “Interpretive Report” which is a highly personalized narrative and graphic report that further enables you to understand and apply the results of your assessment. Each type is explained in terms of the five “facets” that help define each of the four ‘type preferences’. The results are further explained in reference to your approach to communication, change management, decision making and conflict management. Your report is presented to you in a one hour facilitated meeting with a certified MBTI coach to ensure that you understand and can apply the results. You will also receive a free copy of the booklet, Introduction to Type.

FOR TEAMS
Essential Connections is a facilitated team profile building tool built upon the principle that for us to be wholly integrated as individuals, it is important to understand the connection between the Thinking (the head), Feeling (the heart) and Doing (the hands). Each of us has a natural tendency to rely on one of the three more than the others and it forms our frame of reference, especially on the world of work. This facilitated group activity enables you to explore the dynamics of a team made up of Strivers (Thinkers), Thrivers (Feeling) and Drivers (Doing) and how that mix will affect your teams’ performance. The tool comes with a “Facilitator’s Guide” to help you get the maximum value from this tool.
MBTI – Level One: The Level One Assessment provides you with a one page “Profile” and a five page “Interpretive Report”.

In addition, you will receive an Interpretive Report that provides you with an extensive description of ‘your four-letter type’. The report will provide additional details regarding the patterns that make your type unique. Your team will receive their individual results as a part of a four-hour facilitated debriefing session, entitled “Interpreting Your Results”, in order to deepen their understanding of the results and how individual preferences affect your team’s ability to communicate, make decisions and resolve disagreements. Each team member will also receive a free copy of the booklet, Introduction to Type.
MBTI – Level Two: The Level Two Assessment provides you with a four page “graphical” representation of your type and the sub-scales associated with your type. The sub-scales are those facets that, when combined, create your type.

The Team Assessment Profile (TAP) gives team’s the opportunity to collect relevant data that will enable them to achieve peak performance. Your team’s ‘TAP Score’ allows the team to focus on specific/actionable behaviors that will help you team work synergistically, communicate effectively and resolve differences quickly. This tool helps groups highlight their challenges and pinpoint their strengths as they work together. Whether you are on a special assignment or a permanent work team, TAP will help you and your teammates understand the dynamics that influence performance.
FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Framework: The American workplace is rapidly changing and competition for customers and resources is becoming more intense. Organizations typically respond with new programs, initiatives, leaders, new staff-technology, or all of the above in a blind attempt to make things better. Yet all too frequently these initiatives fail before they can begin.
Without some understanding of the underlying assumptions, beliefs and values that guide the actions of people in your organization, your ability to transform, redirect or stimulate are like rolling the dice - sometimes you win but the odds are against you.
By understanding the nature of the culture into which change is introduced, you increase the chances that you will find the right key to unlocking a more sustainable and stable future. Success increases the satisfaction of all stakeholders, builds pride, and expands confidence.
Workbench: Successful organizations understand the importance of generating employee input to support their efforts to create the high-performance organization they envision. Employee surveys can provide:
- A systematic assessment of employee perceptions of the health of the organization
- Identify opportunities for functioning more effectively
- Identify barriers to implementing change initiatives
- Generate greater involvement in and support for change initiatives
- Target specific plans and actions for implementing improvement initiatives throughout the organization
The Workbench survey is used to generate employee input in a wide range of organizational initiatives. It is the cornerstone of a three-part methodology that measures the readiness of an organization for change and can identify work culture impediments to the full achievement of business objectives. The process involves Surveying, Assessment Feedback, and Management Action Planning.
It is often said that “our employees are our greatest asset”. This is a true statement; but, the value of that asset is directly related to the degree of employee satisfaction and engagement. Workbench is a fully customizable organizational ‘climate assessment’ tool that gives you versatility in your efforts to uncover opportunities for improvement.
Insight: Insight is a tool for use with your Internal Customers to help you pinpoint those actions you can and should be taking to delight those who hold your reputation in their hands. Insight can be purchased as a “do it yourself” application, complete with interview guide and data collection tools or you can buy it as part of a Consultive process designed to identify opportunities and execute for results.
