Assessments of Values, Motivators, Skills

Powerful tools to maximize effectiveness and minimize boredom and stress

Hot Blue Coaching's experts can enhance the insights that arise from your coaching by using TTI Success InsightsT Reports, which have behind them decades of research and a status as one of the most popular sets of assessments in the U.S. today.  Each assessment (you can take just one or all three) may be taken on-line, in the convenience and privacy of your home or office.  They take only 15 minutes each!

" I have to say that when I started these assessments I had no idea how they were going to gather information in a useful way, but now that I see the results, I'm floored. They're just dead-on in so many ways.  I look forward to implementing them in our coaching ." -- B.D., Managing Partner, major law firm

We get this reaction a lot. The assessments are highly-validated, statistically reliable instruments that produce a comprehensive (65-page!), personalized report with information unique to your behavior in the work place.  The three assessments are:

DISC Behavioral and Communication Styles

Personal Interests, Attitudes, and Values

Attributes Index - Strengths and Weaknesses on 84 Dimensions of Human Aptitude

DISC Behavioral and Communication Styles

The three reports include the DISC assessment of observable behaviors, the most popular assessment in American businesses today.  TTI administers a DISC assessment every 10 seconds.  The DISC gives you priceless information on not only your preferred or natural behavioral and communication style but, critically, the adapted style you've been forcing yourself into.  The difference between your natural style and your adapted style is -- let us know if this sounds familiar -- stress, boredom, lack of fulfillment, resentment.

. General Characteristics - clients agree this section is 80-90% accurate

. Value to the Organization - here is the basis for your personal brand - do your resume, cover letter, and elevator pitch reflect what truly makes you unique and valuable?

. Checklist for Communicating - priceless information for knowing yourself well enough to deal with others, how to educate them on dealing with you, and gaining the self-awareness and emotional intelligence that makes leaders.  Equally valuable for personal relationships!

. Don't's on Communicating - What ten communication mistakes do others, such as peers, your employees, even your boss and loved ones (yes, your family and friends too), need to know about when communicating with you?

. Communications Tips - a handy one-page cheat sheet on how you can deal with specific types of people

. Ideal Environment - this is the template for your next career.  If a job description doesn't fit the characteristics of your ideal environment, think twice.

. Perceptions - how you and others see you; what your blind spots are

. Descriptors - what is your behavioral type?  Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, or Compliance?

. Natural vs. Adapted Style - In what ways are you not in alignment with your true self?  This shows you how you can get in alignment.

. Adapted Style (current behavior in relation to work)

. Keys to Motivating - What you need to know before you settle on a new livelihood (or even start looking), and what your bosses need to know to keep you happy.

. Keys to Managing

. Areas for Improvement - Do you know where you need to improve?

. Action Plan - This gives you and your career coach or relationship coach a plan for your future.
 

Personal Interests, Attitudes, and Values

The PIAV offers an exhaustive inventory of what makes you tick:  what you like, what motivates you, what you don't like.  What are your values?  What do you consider important?  It's all here, and it's also quite accurate.

Attributes Index - Strengths and Weaknesses on 84 Dimensions of Human Aptitude

Over 50 years of scientific research has revealed that we have three dimensions of thinking about the world:  people, tasks, and systems.  These three dimensions are involved in every decision we make.  They are behind all of our strengths and weaknesses.  What are the strengths you should leverage?  What are the weaknesses you can improve upon, delegate, or minimize, as appropriate?  This assessment will tell you.

The Attributes Index will also score you on 84 different dimensions of strengths, aptitudes, and areas for development. It's an invaluable tool.

Group Rates :

Clients working in teams or organizations prefer to spend their time working on the discovery and resolution of issues that affect the group's performance.  Assessments can assist these clients in the discovery phase, but they may not have the training, or the time to deliver these highly validated assessments themselves.  For such clients, we will administer the selected assessments and deliver a unique group debrief via webinar or tele-conference to the team.  We offer the following discounts for team development work:

5- 10 reports: 5%
11 - 15 reports: 10%
16 - 25 reports: 20%
