Sometimes an employee will exhibit excellent technical skills but lacks practical interpersonal skills. Our corporate customers enroll these employees into what they jokingly call our “Charm School.” Executive Leadership Coaching clients undergo ten hourly sessions. During these sessions, Executive Leadership Coaching clients are asked to do the following:

• Complete a Ph.D.-led battery of psychological personality/career assessment instruments.
• Interpret the assessment results to identify and then manage the interpersonal “red flags” in their workplace behavior.
• Review a Development Actions Guide containing core interpersonal and business competencies. Each competency contains On-The-Job Training (OJT) assignments and select Executive Leadership literature readings. The ten coaching sessions address these competences, readings, and assignments to improve workplace performance.
• Upon completion, a Certificate of Completion in Executive Leadership Coaching is awarded.

The Outplacement Consulting Services (OCS) assessment process addresses what a notified employee can do, will do, and is a good career fit for. Our assessments explore three areas: workplace skills/interests, personality, and leadership. Many companies use career assessments to screen in or screen out clients competing for critical positions. A Ph.D interprets all. Consultant, and  utilized to add value to the job candidate’s search campaign. Some of these assessment tools include, but are not exclusive to, the following:

The Holland SDS Instrument

The Holland Self-Directed Search Instrument explores six work-related themes. These include realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional interests. The six themes match the job candidate’s activities, competencies, and career interests to calculate a Holland Code. This code is then used to identify one’s ideal work preferences. OCS has found this helpful tool in the Career Continuation “Fast-Track” Workshop group setting.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

The MBTI addresses valuable differences in people. It explores the preferences that focus our attention and the way individuals perceive information, make decisions, and adopt certain lifestyles. The MBTI provides 16 possible personality types, and one of these codes is assigned to the test taker. Each four-letter code type has its own set of inherent strengths/weaknesses that impact the job candidates’ career choices.

Oral Communication Styles

Based on the work of the eminent Swiss Psychoanalyst Carl Jung and the subsequent MBTI, Communication Styles are designed to help establish an essential communication bond with other people, regardless of personal style. It helps one gain insight into one’s own communication style, identify and understand the communication styles of others, and appropriately adjust one’s style to enhance communication and rapport.

Campbell Interest and Skill Inventory

The Campbell Interest and Skill Survey (CISS) examines the interests and skills essential to one’s personality. What people like to do and what they are confident they can do can play a significant role in future career satisfaction and success. The CISS profile analyzes self-reported skills and exhibits how one compares with people in general and those happily employed in various occupations. The primary purpose of this survey is to help find a career in which one will be happy and productive.

Strong Interest Inventory

A vocational interest instrument that measures personal characteristics across six occupational themes, the Strong also addresses the social, enterprising, conventional, artistic, investigative, and realistic themes of one’s personality. After these traits are matched with the job candidate’s level of interest, each one is tied to a career path.

16 Personality Factors (16 PF)

Awareness and acceptance of ourselves is the first step toward making a sound career choice. It also is the foundation for managing our behavior and gradually acquiring new alternatives in behavior. The 16PF transcends the immediate task of job finding and helps us explore the potential in our life plans. Its goal is not to label “good or bad”, “right or wrong” , “sane or crazy.” The purpose of the 16 PF is to provide insight into our business-related personality, and instruct us as to how to manage best weaknesses, particularly those that might have been problematic in the past.

Personality Research Form (PRF)

This inventory identifies traits relevant to how a person functions in various situations. The PRF focuses on areas of normal functioning; including how a person “comes across” to others. Addressing 22 behavioral measures of human performance, this instrument helps candidates find the right job based on their personality.

E-Mail Textual Styles

Founded on the Jungian school of thought and the MBTI, this interactive, assessment-centered session helps the job candidate identify his and others’ e-mail styles. It promotes e-mail “e-tiquette” with colleagues in an organization, and improves the effectiveness of the electronic message by adapting it to recipients’ dissimilar communication styles. Further, it helps us avoid common e-mail pitfalls, and demonstrates to internal/external customers the benefits of doing same.

LDR

The Leadership Development Report (LDR) is designed for individuals wishing to improve managerial and executive performance. The extensive report provides detailed advice based on the individual’s scores on 25 personality dimensions. Coaching advice generated by the LDR is based on complex statistical modeling, research findings, and counseling experience with more than 4000 executives. It provides insight into the interaction between one’s personality and job performance, and provides strategies to alter a manager’s behavior within his or her natural limits.
