“Assessments help you have a conversation that is balanced between the intuitive and the more data-driven.” How can you discover more of your strengths, skills, talents, and gifts? One way is through personality assessments.  Through personality assessments, you can learn more about who you are as a leader and as a person (because you’re both!). Critics say personality assessments are unscientific, or worse, that they reinforce bias and discrimination. But 80% of Fortune 500 companies reportedly use them, so I thought it would be interesting to look into them more closely with an expert.  Claire Chandler has been helping leadership teams work together more effectively in less time with less cultural resistance to accelerate business growth for over 25 years. In this episode, she joins me to share a fresh perspective on assessments and how you can use them to drive better results.  Key areas discussed:  0:00 Introduction 3:39 What organizations are trying to solve for when they bring Claire in and do assessments  4:59 The value of an assessment  6:34 Why the qualitative is valuable when it comes to assessments 8:29 What made Claire interested in working with people and using assessments  9:58 Creating safety within organizations to have these kinds of conversations  14:45 How Claire helped a huge multi-billion dollar organization’s leadership team go from disjointed strangers to connected friends  23:15 What Claire would say to those who may have been burned by assessments in the past  24:20 What’s so powerful about assessments  27:17 How Claire’s assessments root out attempts at deception  31:59 My assessment results! 44:10 My work style vulnerabilities from Claire’s assessment  Tune into this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fizDgFMP6Pw or your favorite podcast app: http://www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast. to learn how assessments can help you know yourself better and by doing so, build a more profitable and joyful consultancy. #PersonalityAssessments #Consulting  --------------- 🔔 Subscribe for more! ➡️ http://bit.ly/PJCYTsub  ​​ WATCH ✅ Self-Leadership with CK Lin ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlm29WsqL0  WATCH ✅Drive Leadership and Culture with Brittany Drozd ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6bY3S_q00s  READ ✅The Definitive Guide to Winning Six-Figure Clients ➡️ http://6figureclients.com/   DOWNLOAD ✅Shield App for LinkedIn ➡️https://www.shieldapp.ai/?via=samantha   LEARN ✅More about taking Claire’s assessment and working with her ➡️ ClaireChandler.Net CONNECT ✅With Claire on LinkedIn ➡️https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairechandlersphr/  --------------- For more tips to help you create a profitable, joyful business without exhaustion​, follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthahartley/ or https://www.facebook.com/samantha.hartley.71/ P.S.
