Assessments are:

- Not for everyone – they are valuable to gain new insights while clarifying conflicts and priorities.
To get accurate results, a trained consultant should explain how to answer assessment questions and interpret the results.
That depends. What’s keeping you up at night? What’s pulling at you or keeping you stuck? In which area of your life do you most want change?
