Assessments are powerful tools to measure strengths, behavioural patterns, natural abilities and default communications styles.
At BT, I am certified to use and interpret a few impactful psychometric assessments.
These psychometric assessments offer sound, objective information to support the coaching process. This objectivity and a fresh perspective can break you from the usual thought patterns and limiting beliefs. When used in conjunction with coaching, it can dramatically improve the coaching experience and, ultimately, your ability to realize your goals and achieve success for your organization.
What assessment is used depends on the requirement of every coaching assignment
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) is a widely used assessment which provides insight into one's personality, motivations, natural strengths, and potential areas of growth.
Its applications include team building, career exploration, conflict management, retention, leadership and coaching. It can be used across all levels in the organisation.
FIRO-B® (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behaviour) is a personality instrument that assesses how a person usually behaves towards others and how that person would like others to behave towards them.

These tools have helped individuals, teams, and organizations around the world grow and succeed by serving as a catalyst for positive behavioral change as they provide in sights for managing relationships in the workplace,essential for team building and leadership development
Emotional Intelligence refers to a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.
The EQ-i 2.0 measures emotional intelligence (EI) and how it can impact people and the workplace. Applications of emotional intelligence include:
Leadership Development
Selection
Organizational Development
Executive Coaching
Team Building
While emotional intelligence isn't the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is not a static factor — to the contrary, one's emotional intelligence changes over time and can be developed in targeted areas.
By aggregating the results of the individuals in a team or department, we can present an overall competency potential profile that highlights key strengths or gaps that need to be managed or plugged. One can thereafter engage team members in activities designed to align objectives, uncover barriers, improve communication and harness potential.
