Our executive, leadership and team coaching is supported by a range of scientifically validated measurement tools to improve effectiveness and outcomes for  leaders. We use these tools to help you identify and work with your leadership edge and ​the challenges that are presenting themselves so you can lead from a place of grounded resilience. 

​The most powerful tools we use include:  

​Catalyst Tools®

We use the “CreatingWE® Institute’s Catalyst Tools as a starting place and window through which to understand organisational, team and individual dynamics and the power of conversations to turn insight into action.
C-IQ (Conversational Intelligence) Catalyst Tool® - is a ‘quick study’ tool to see the patterns of conversational impact and engagement that we exercise as we interact at work. This tool can be used to provide a cultural imprint of how people at work engage with each other and provide insight in the patterns of conversations and their impact.

​There are three ways to use the tool: Self-Catalyst Tool; 360 Catalyst Tool; and Team Catalyst Tool.
CreatingWE DNA Catalyst Tool® -  identifies what conversational patterns are opening the space for elevated engagement and what conversational patterns are blocking success. The tool identifies the level of Conversational Intelligence® being accessed across the seven most important conversational dimensions.
  • C: How people connect across the organization (Connecting)
  • H: How people build healthy relationships (Humanizing)
  • A: How people create aspirations for the future (Aspiring)
  • N: How people collaborate (Navigating)
  • G: How people innovate (Generating)
  • E: How people develop ‘voice’ in the organization (Expressing)
  • S: How people celebrate success (Synchronizing)

There are three ways to use this tool: Self-DNA Catalyst Tool; 360 DNA Catalyst Tool; and Team DNA Catalyst Tool: 
 TRUST Catalyst Tool®
The Trust Catalyst Tool®  provides powerful insights into how to measure and elevate trust in a team and organisation. This TRUST Catalyst tool can be used in a variety of ways:
  1. Self:  to gauge the level of trust building skills a leader is aware of using and identifying the skills needed to more often to ensure the leader can create and sustain trust with others.
  2. 360:  you can also undertake a 360 version of this tool to measure a leader’s level of expressed trust to provide a clearer picture of how the leader is impacting others across the trust continuum.
  3. Team: The team profile measures the team’s level of perceived trust and can be used to help a team develop higher levels of trust across the 5 dimensions of TRUST.

Leadership Vital Signs and EQ Assessments

Leadership Vital Signs

An effective leader must be able to set a context where people can excel – this requires balancing organisational and individual needs, strategy and operations.  The Leadership Vital Signs (LVS) assessment provides feedback on these drivers of organisational performance and measures the capacities of leaders to foster a context of trust in order to: inspire deep motivation, achieve smooth execution, create effective teamwork, and transform resistance in readiness for change.  

Emotional Intelligence Assessments

​Emotional Intelligence (EQ) enables people to instill confidence and a sense of belonging in others, engage and influence people across boundaries, and respond with sensitivity and care even when challenged. People with high ​​EQ are described as "aware, authentic, empathic, expansive, resilient, empowering and centred" rather than "disconnected, guarded, insensitive, limited, temperamental, indifferent and reactive". High EQ (or emotional quotient) contributes to career success, entrepreneurial potential, leadership talent, health, relationship satisfaction, humour, happiness, and is the best antidote to work related stress.
 
The EQ or Emotional Intelligence assessment tool we use, is called an SEI. The tool assesses competence and delivers a practical roadmap for development.
