Sometimes the coaching experience can be enhanced by incorporating special resources that promote self-discovery and awareness. Enerpace Coaches are certified in the most effective industry tools, so we can recommend the right instrument for each situation.
Have a tool in-house that your firm prefers? We’re happy to use it. Need something developed for a specific situation or audience? Enerpace will partner with you to develop an instrument tailored to your company’s leadership competencies and performance objectives.
Enerpace doesn’t favor any specific assessment or automatically recommend one be used in every coaching engagement. We’re Executive Coaches, not test merchants. Here are some of the most effective instruments we commonly use:
Leadership Agility – Leadership Agility 360°™
Leaders today are required to get results in a world filled with volatility, ambiguity and a rapidly increasing pace of change and globalization. The LA 360° is specifically designed for environments of rapid change and great uncertainty. Team options are available.
Communication & Behavioral Style Profile – DiSC ®
Not everyone perceives the world and responds as we do. To effectively communicate, influence, sell and lead, we need to be aware of our personal style, be able to read the styles of others, and modify our style accordingly. Team options are available.
Emotional Intelligence Inventory – EQi 2.0
Emotional Intelligence has been proven to be the #1 predictor of leadership success, since leaders need to get results with and through people. Luckily, Emotional Intelligence can be learned and the skills enhanced, unlike IQ which is static. Team options are available.
Personality Inventory – Hogan (HPI) Series
Hogan’s assessment solutions help businesses reduce turnover and increase productivity by hiring the right people, developing key talent and evaluating leadership potential.
360 ° Feedback – Multiple Quantitative or Qualitative Options
Many of the options on this page have the ability to also collect 360° feedback from key stakeholders, in the framework of the instrument. DiSC, EQ-i and the LA 360° all offer this option. Qualitative interview-based feedback provides the opportunity to probe for additional pertinent information and provide spot coaching for the feedback provider. The output is a robust, customized report highlighting key themes supplemented with a selection of constructive stakeholder verbatim comments. Enerpace has created custom quantitative/qualitative feedback surveys for organizations based on their own leadership competencies, company values and performance management metrics. Team options are available.
Energage Workplace Survey

Psychological Type – M.B.T.I. Myers Briggs Type Indicator
Understanding your type preference helps you approach your work and coworkers in a way most suited to their style. Problem solving, decision making, stress management, team participation and response to stress and change all vary based on type. Team options are available.
Tilt 365
Classifying people as a certain personality type can lead to them having self-limiting thoughts or create bias in an organization. Instead of confining people to a single, unchanging type, Tilt 365 identifies a person’s favorite patterns, then maps out a path to develop their other capabilities and character strengths. Tilt 365 assessments are easy to take and produce quick, accurate insights with actionable steps to help develop more agile and well-rounded mindsets.
Positive Intelligence
Negative emotions, including stress, can sabotage your potential for performance and happiness. The research-based tools of Positive Intelligence training strengthen the parts of the brain that serve you and quiet the parts that sabotage you. By shifting the balance in your mind, you can handle life’s challenges with a more positive mindset and less stress.
The FIRO-B®
The FIRO-B® (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-BehaviorTM) instrument helps individuals understand their behavior and the behavior of others. With the insights of an individual’s interpersonal needs it can help improve workplace interactions.
FIRO Business
The FIRO Business assessment can be used to help develop great leaders while improving organizational performance. It is particularly valuable to businesses because it quickly gathers key insights for coworkers, managers, and direct reports. It supports persuasion and negotiations, making decisions; and setting priorities.
Workplace Big 5
Although participants take 1 assessment, the data can be used to create multiple reports. The Trait Report provides a graphical analysis of an individual’s five supertraits and 23 subtraits. The Narrator Report provides insights into scores as they relate to themes such as leadership, emotional intelligence, and values. The Trait Capacitor Report shows an individual’s natural inclination toward up to 54 select competencies and is a powerful tool for development, job alignment, coaching, and selection.
Influence Style Indicator
Effective leaders can influence others to accept beneficial outcomes. Influence inherently means that the individual is able to impact the ideas, opinions and actions of others.This tool is designed to understand an individual’s preferred, secondary, and underutilized influencing styles.
The Six Types of Working Genius
Work more effectively as a team by discovering the individual Working Genius, Working Competency and Working Frustration. Patrick Lencioni’s short Working Genius assessment allows the team to leverage the natural talents of each team member and avoid the working frustrations. Team adjustments based on these results means a more efficient team, less burnout, better retention and happier, more satisfied employees. It’s a Win-Win for the team and the company.
Five Dysfunctions of a Team – Team Assessment Report
The Online Team Assessment is based on Patrick Lencioni’s book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. A team report is compiled which provides concrete, actionable advice to build team trust, allow for healthy conflict, instill commitment, and create accountability which leads to collective results and a higher functioning team. We use the 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team approach, tailored to the priorities in the Team Assessment Report.

Emotionally intelligent leaders prove to be better managers of people which leads to higher performing organizations, higher employee engagement and therefore higher employee retention. These Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessments provide feedback on the core Emotional Intelligent Skills of self-awareness, awareness of others, authenticity, emotional reasoning, self-management and inspiring performance.
