Often, sadly yes!
The questionnaire and your review are completed and the document hits the recycle bin or the bottom of a desk drawer. It doesn’t have to!
Career & Life Assessments
Don’t Assessments Just Gather Dust?
So why bother?
Being “assessed” can raise fears of “not being enough”, “not knowing”, or “not being right”. It’s not comfortable to receive others’ assessments. And yet, humans are assessment machines!
When you have that feeling that something is not aligned or it becomes an Oh $*&#! moment/recurring one, professionally-tested assessment tools can provide the starting line for self-understanding, reflection, information gathering, and exploration. They help you to build awareness of misalignments or habits that no longer serve you. That is the first step in shifting to creating and practicing new ways of understanding, communicating and being in a relationship with yourself and others. Seeing the whole landscape provides the context for generating new results in your self, life, and work relationships.
As you embark on a change, building awareness through assessments can highlight areas of your life/work that you may not have thought needed attention. I have worked with different assessment tools over time and my current preferred well-researched tools are:
- Life Wheel – I personally like to call it, the Life Pie, to make it more appetizing!
