The Assessment Toolkit
Behavioral and leadership insights that uncover what’s really happening inside your organization.
Every successful engagement begins with awareness.
To understand your people, culture, and leadership patterns, we use a curated set of validated assessments that reveal strengths, stress behaviors, communication styles, and alignment challenges.
These tools don’t replace Edna’s expertise — they inform it.
She interprets the data, connects the patterns, and translates the results into usable leadership and team-development strategies.
WHY WE USE ASSESSMENTS
Awareness Creates Change
Assessments give leaders and teams a shared language for understanding themselves and each other.
But the assessment alone isn’t the solution — it’s the starting point.
Edna uses assessments to:
-
Clarify root causes behind performance, turnover, or communication challenges
-
Identify behaviors that build or undermine trust
-
Strengthen leadership presence and emotional intelligence
-
Reveal how teams interact under pressure
-
Provide objective data to guide development priorities
Assessments offer insight. Edna turns that insight into action.
OVERVIEW
What's Inside the Toolkit
01
DISC Behavioral Assessment
A proven, accessible framework for communication and team dynamics.
DISC helps leaders understand the behavioral tendencies that drive how people communicate, make decisions, and respond to stress.
Edna uses DISC to help teams:
-
Adapt communication for clearer conversations
-
Reduce tension and misunderstandings
-
Improve collaboration and accountability
-
Build trust through behavioral awareness
DISC is widely recognized, but its impact depends entirely on who interprets it. Edna extracts the patterns behind the report — and connects them to real behavior inside your organization.
02
REACH™ Behavioral Assessment & Talent Platform
A robust, psychometric assessment system is used globally.
The REACH ecosystem provides advanced insight into:
-
Behavioral tendencies
-
Leadership agility
-
Emotional intelligence
-
Team dynamics
-
Organizational culture patterns
Edna uses REACH to support:
-
Leadership development
-
Cultural transformation
-
Multi-level team analysis
-
Strategic change initiatives
REACH offers deep data. Edna applies it with precision to guide leaders and align teams.
03
Strengths-Based Assessments (StrengthsFinder & Others)
Understanding what energizes people — not just what they can do, but how they do it best.
These tools help leaders:
-
Identify team strengths
-
Assign roles more effectively
-
Reduce burnout by aligning work with natural motivators
-
Develop people based on their potential, not their gaps
Often used with executives and emerging leaders, strengths insight builds clarity and confidence.
04
Positive Intelligence (PQ)
Positive Intelligence (PQ) helps leaders and teams understand the inner mental habits that either sabotage performance or strengthen it. It focuses on how people respond to stress, challenges, conflict, and uncertainty in real time.
Edna uses PQ to help individuals and teams:
-
Reduce self-sabotage and reactive behavior
-
Build resilience in high-pressure situations
-
Improve decision-making and emotional regulation
-
Strengthen focus, confidence, and follow-through
PQ is simple to learn—but difficult to apply without guidance.
Edna goes beyond the assessment to identify the dominant saboteur patterns at play and translate them into practical strategies teams can use daily—so insight turns into sustained behavioral change, not just awareness.
Part of a Larger System — Not a One-Off Test
Every organization is unique—your development should be too.
Assessments are one layer of the People’s Success methodology.
They show what’s happening, but Edna’s process addresses:
-
Why it’s happening
-
How to fix it
-
How to sustain the change
Every engagement includes the same core phases:
-
Discovery → clarity on goals and pain points
-
Diagnostic → assessments, interviews, culture surveys, 360s
-
Design → development priorities & customized plan
-
Development → coaching, workshops, guided conversations
-
Data Review → measuring progress & reinforcing change
Assessments support the diagnostic phase — they never replace the expertise behind the work.
