360 degree appraisal
360 degree appraisal allows you to gather anonymised feedback from your work colleagues so that you can see yourself as others see you. 360 degree feedback can be a valuable tool when used as a self-awareness tool within a coaching programme or as an evaluation tool following completion of a management development activity.
I work in partnership with Appraisal360 to provide a fully supported 360 degree feedback service. This enables me to offer either an simple and cost effective off the shelf tool or a totally bespoke service to meet your needs.
The report produced provides rich insights which:
- prompt self evaluation
- provide feedback on competence and behaviour
- facilitate peer and upward feedback in a non-threatening way
- identify strengths and areas for development.

I provide a 360 Review Meeting via Zoom for each individual, in order to help them to review and interpret their feedback report and to agree a Personal Development Plan. Alternatively I can provide training for your managers in the skills required to support feedback effectively.

Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI is the most widely used instrument in the world for understanding normal personality differences.
Completing the MBTI inventory and receiving feedback on it enhances our understanding of ourselves, our motivations, our natural strengths and our potential areas for growth.
Your MBTI report can support a range of different needs including development of your communication style, conflict style, personal impact, career development and stress management.
The feedback session, delivered via Zoom, helps you to interpret and make use of your report. This will enable you to appreciate how each of us has a preferred way of making sense of reality and how we have developed a personality strategy that informs everything we do. You will recognise yourself with a degree of clarity that will amaze, even shock; but after the shock comes the realisation that we all have an array of drivers and abilities which are characteristic of our preferred personality type.
Having looked into the mirror and discovered more about yourself and the characteristics of your personality type, the MBTI helps you to appreciate people who differ from you. You begin to develop the skills to identify the personality drivers of your customers, colleagues and family members.
We will discuss ways in which you might practise the skill of adaptation; moving away from your natural dominant style towards the style of another individual you are communicating with.
The MBTI can be bought on a stand-alone basis, or incorporated into a management training programme or team development day. If required, I can support teams by producing a Team Profile Report which can be used to drive and direct future team development activity. I am also able to provide further support to individual participants to incorporate their new understanding into their everyday lives through a programme of one to one coaching.
