Tools and Assessments

​Connecting science to the art of leadership!

Fascinated by the brain and the incredible impact it has on personal and professional effectiveness, I use a selection of scientifically validated measurement and catalyst tools to support greater awareness, learning and the ability to see the field in which you are working and navigating. This knowledge can support you to focus your efforts and find a path forward. This awareness can also be helpful in assisting you to avoid falling into a cycle of making the same mistakes over and over that so many of us get caught in.
One of the biggest challenges leaders face is getting quality feedback so they know how they’re doing.

​The most powerful tools I use

CreatingWE® Institute’s Catalyst Tools

​The “CreatingWE® Institute’s Catalyst Tools" provide 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 Catalyst Tool® ​

Picture
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 this tool: Self-Catalyst Tool; 360 Catalyst Tool; and Team Catalyst Tool.

​TRUST Catalyst Tool

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 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.

DNA Catalyst Tool®

 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 and can be used as: Self-DNA Catalyst Tool; 360 DNA Catalyst Tool; and Team DNA Catalyst Tool: 
  • ​C: How people connect across the organisation (Connecting)
