You need to know where you are now…
In order to get to where you want to be!

Research conducted by the American Society for Training Development (ASTD), found that the most profitable and successful organizations were, on average, doing twice the training and assessment than businesses performing at below average levels.

Internal Assets uses several assessment tools. These tools will tell you a lot about yourself as well as how others perceive you.

Assessments are available as a part of the coaching packages and are completed on
an individual basis.


What are assessments used for?

Most things in life center on some type of measurement-----money, weight, travel, time, temperature, stocks. Yet, most of us do not have any measurement strategy. A proper measurement/assessment strategy can offer amazing clarity, freedom and direction in organizations as well as in tracking personal goals.

Assessments let you take a snap shot of where you are now and support you to decide exactly where you would like to focus next.

You cannot manage what you do not measure. Would you like to have a snap shot of your current state of affairs? Good assessments can provide that for you.

Assessment tools descriptions that are available only with coaching packages:



The MBTI is a personality assessment that can literally support you in solving your own problems because it will provide an amazing amount of information for you to learn about yourself! The more you know about yourself the better your relationships will be with others. The better your relationships are with others, the better your work and personal life.

You can receive and complete this assessment on line and receive your debrief on the telephone.

  • The MBTI will give you information about:

    1. Where you get your energy
    2. How you gather information
    3. How you make decisions
    4. How you prefer to live your life

  • MBTI will give you a much better understanding of yourself and your actions. As you work with Kim, you will better understand the people in your life.
     
  • Once you have learned about your MBTI results, you will stop trying to fit square pegs into round holes, and will look for opportunities to use your strengths and seek help with areas where you are not strong.
     
  • As you lead, you will be able to understand how some people are best suited for certain jobs and others are not, and will be able to play to the strengths of your co-workers and your family.
     
  • The MBTI is a well-researched, complex instrument that is best interpreted by a qualified provider. Among other things, it gives you information about yourself along four dichotomies. They are:

    1. Extravert or Introvert. Are you energized or drained by being around and interacting with people? How can you best meet your needs for active time involved with others and quiet time for introspection? Everyone needs both in varying amounts.

    2. Sensing or Intuition. Do you gather information with your five senses and focus on what is here, now; or do you make intuitive leaps and focus on the future. You will focus on one or the other when gathering information, so knowing about both of them will help you gather more effective information.

    3. Thinking or Feeling. Do you make decisions using facts and logic, or do you decide based on how it will affect the people involved. Learning to use both thinking and feeling in decision making will help you make better decisions.

    4. Judging or Perceiving. Oddly enough, this dichotomy has nothing to do with being judgmental or perceptive. This could better be called scheduled or unscheduled. This has to do with how you like to live in the world. Some people prefer to live a scheduled, organized life with both short term and long term plans. Some prefer to be more spontaneous and flexible. Both types find the other lifestyle stressful and uncomfortable. When you learn what your preference is, you will be able to order (or not) your life to fit your preference better and feel less stress.

When this assessment is completed you will have an easy outline of where you should focus your energies to produce maximum results in your relationships.

The MBTI is available as a part of a coaching package and is completed on an individual basis.



The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) examines the five practices of exemplary leadership in a 360-evaluation format. You will be evaluated by yourself, your boss, your co-workers and those you lead in the following areas: Modeling the Way, Inspiring a Shared Vision, Challenging the Process, Enabling Others to Act, and Encouraging the Heart.

  • Model the Way. The most important personal quality people look for in you as a leader is personal credibility. Leaders model the way by finding their voice and setting an example.
     
  • Inspire a Shared Vision. Can you imagine an exciting, highly attractive future for your organization? Leaders are driven by their clear image of possibility and what their organization could become. In order to be a leader, you must have followers willing to move into your vision.
     
  • Challenge the Process. Leaders venture out. They take risks and seek and accept challenge. You will never achieve your personal best by preserving the status quo.
     
  • Enable Others to Act. Leaders know they can’t do it alone. You must enable others to act by fostering collaboration and strengthening others.
     
  • Encourage the Heart. Leaders encourage the heart by recognizing contributions and celebrating values and victories. You must set high standards and have high expectations of the people in your organization. When these standards and expectations are met, you must celebrate these achievements.

Find out how you measure up on these five dimensions and receive coaching on how to improve your leadership practices.

The LPI is available as a part of a coaching package and is completed on an individual basis.
