Personal Empowerment Lasting Relationships Success in Your Career
The key to living a strengths-based life is to know what your strengths are
Sounds simple enough. Maybe you could make a list of what you think your strengths are. Or ask your friends what they think. But then what?
There's real science behind objectively identifying your natural strengths and learning how to put them to use in your life. And it starts with your perception.
The way you perceive the world around you and how you make meaning from what you perceive create the foundation of your natural skills and gifts!
When you uncover the way you perceive - your Perceptual Style - you'll unlock a treasure trove of information about what you naturally do well. You'll discover what makes you different from the folks around you, and how to create connections that bridge understanding gaps. You'll learn how to apply your strengths to achieve your dreams.

Once you understand your Perceptual Style there are so many practical applications in your life! Here are just a few:
(Click on a topic below for more information)
Effective Communications
Communication is a fundamental part of being human. We all want to be understood. So, we search for the right words and the right tone to convey our message. What we often fail to recognize is that each of us has a built-in communication filter and because of that filter, what we mean isn’t always what others hear and vice versa.
At the core of your communication filter is your Perceptual Style. How you see the world and make it meaningful to you has everything thing to do with how you express yourself and how you listen.
The key to effective communication is twofold - understanding your natural communication skills and understanding how your skills differ from people with other Perceptual Styles. Communication is, after all, a two-way street.

Transformational Coaching
Coaching is all about results. Whatever your coaching specialty, your coaching practice will fail if your clients don’t achieve real, lasting results.
The best way to understand your client, their strengths, their limitations, how they make meaning and take action in the world, is to use a scientifically proven, reliable and accurate assessment. You guessed it – the Perceptual Style Assessment is what you need!
When you know your client’s Perceptual Style, you can fine-tune your coaching solutions to capitalize on your client’s natural strengths. As a result they will realize great results faster and more completely than they ever imagined.

Personal Empowerment
Personal empowerment is feeling in control of your own life, confident in the actions you take and decisions you make, and comfortable with the people who are most important to you.
Creating the foundation for your personal empowerment is what our program Live Your Talents is all about. It’s a combination of awareness and practical application built around your Perceptual Style and your life experience that will allow you to tap into your potential, hone your natural strengths, let go of situations and skills that are wearing you out, and move forward doing more of what you do best.

Successful Management
Great managers are focused on the success of their team. They motivate, coordinate, communicate, and delegate in a manner that capitalizes on the strengths of their team members.
Great managers understand building successful teams means selecting folks with complementary skills and creating collaborative environments. They understand that the best teams are comprised of people who share core values, but differ in their strengths.
There is no better tool for successful managers than Perceptual Style! Understanding the differences between the six styles -- what motivates them, where they shine, what challenges them, etc – is invaluable for building and growing successful teams.

Lasting Relationships
Connection with other human beings is a fundamental need we all share. Our relationships with family, friends, partners, and co-workers provide us with that connection as well as feelings of belonging, being valued, loved, and supported.
It’s a fact that the majority of your relationships will be with people who see the world differently than you do. This can make for a very rich and rewarding life filled with unexpected insights, exciting collaboration, and unique experiences. It’s also guaranteed to come with misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and challenges.
Perceptual Style is an extremely effective tool that will help you clear the path for greater understanding, communication, and connection with the people who are important in your life.

Exceptional Leadership
Everyone has the capacity to be an effective, even exceptional, leader. But leadership doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You can’t lead if you don’t have followers. Many critical leadership skills boil down to how you attract and interact with your followers.
Your Perceptual Style is the foundation of your leadership strengths. How you see the world and make it meaningful to you has everything thing to do with how you lead most effectively.
There’s not just one set of traits or behaviors that guarantee success. There is YOUR way to be a leader – building on your natural strengths.
