PROGRAM:
As a coach, determining if one should be incorporating assessments into their work with clients can be overwhelming. Not only that, but if you decide to use them, where do you even begin? If the assessment quandary sounds familiar to you, you won’t want to miss this webinar. You will hear from three coaches who have been trained in and utilize three different assessment tools—The Enneagram, StrengthsFinder, and Insights. We will spend 90-minutes introducing you to these three tools, how they can be used, pros and cons, cost, and ease of use.
Assessments we’ll review
The Enneagram (meaning Ennea=9, Gram=Diagram) is a tool for self-awareness and personal growth based on 9 basic types and can identify how clients see and show up in the world based on their inner motivations
The StrengthsFinder assessment measures your natural patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, so when you're done with the assessment, you'll have discovered your talents and can build from there.
The INSIGHT Inventory personality assessment helps people identify and utilize their strengths and eliminate the triggers and stress reactions that derail success.
