Panelists
Jacqueline Dunkle, Sharon Eakes
Susan Moore, Janice Sabatine
Moderator
Susan English
You won’t want to miss this
fantastic presentation to learn more about four different
personality assessments that help coaches become excellent in
their field of practice.
Susan English will interview the four panelists on the
individual assessment instruments they use in their coaching
practice. Included will be interaction with the audience and
distribution of assessment activities and handouts.
The panel members will present the basic characteristics of
the different assessments and explain how they have found the
assessment useful in their coaching both for themselves and
their clients.
Participants will leave the meeting:
1. Understanding how assessments can be useful in coaching
2. Knowing about a variety of assessment resources
3. Being able to list four different assessments and their
purpose
The Assessment Instruments are:
DiSC
The DiSC assessment provides insight into how you
perform in a particular environment. It is a behavioral model
that helps you understand how you do things based on your
style tendencies and not your intrinsic personality. The
profile generated is simple and easy to remember.
Understanding your own and others’ profiles provides an
opportunity to adapt your behavior based on the behavior type
of another person. DiSC assessment can be extremely
valuable in helping coaching clients learn to work with or
supervise coworkers having different style tendencies. For
this reason, the DiSC assessment is well adapted to use with
teams.
Enneagram
The Enneagram is an ancient symbol of change and
transformation that reveals our inherent essence and the
personality style that develops from that essence. In short,
the Enneagram is an assessment indicator that recognizes the
soul and maps the flow of energy from your Dominant style of
behavior to your Stressed or Secure styles of behavior. It is
a tool that has origins in antiquity and assists us in our
transformation as a person and as a society.
Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument
The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI)
assesses how you like to think. It is a metaphorical model
based on brain physiology rather than psychology. It yields an
easily remembered visual profile of your thinking style
preference, which also indicates how your thinking typically
changes under stress. In coaching I have found the HBDI
enormously useful for understanding oneself and taking the
emotion out of differences between people. Because the data
can be aggregated to show the thinking styles of a couple,
family, team or company in one visual, the HBDI is very
helpful in working with couples and teams.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is one of the most
widely used assessment instruments, taken by millions of
people each year. The resulting 4-letter profile, based on
Jung’s model of personality preferences, helps individuals
better understand their natural modes of relating to people,
information, and the environment. It can be used effectively
in coaching to help clients
• develop insight as they change jobs or careers
• improve functioning in their current professional or
leadership roles
• enhance understanding and communication in their couple
relationships or teams
