Powerful Assessment Tools to Drive Coaching Success
When utilized in a coaching relationship, assessment tools can provide a coach with a more comprehensive understanding of their client. The assessment data we capture can be very helpful when it comes to defining specific goals, establishing a personal development and coaching plan, and guiding coaching discussions.
If you have completed assessments elsewhere (i.e. for leadership development programs or other purposes within your organization), a coach can often help you to incorporate this information into your personal coaching plan. Used appropriately, assessment information can enhance the coaching experience and, ultimately, your ability to realize your leadership goals and achieve greater success for your organization. Assessments, paired with your coach’s knowledge and experience, provide information that can bring greater awareness to your strengths, communications styles, behaviour types and areas of development.
At HR Alliance, we leverage cutting-edge assessment tools to complement our Executive Coaching Programs. Tools like our 360 Degree Interview Assessment and Debrief Process, the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360, and the Leadership Circle Profile empower leaders and strengthen teams.
360-Degree Feedback: An Optional Enhancement for Executive Coaching
Want to take your executive coaching to the next level? Consider adding a 360-degree feedback assessment to your program.
This optional process involves confidential interviews with your leader, colleagues, and employees. We then consolidate the information gathered into a Report that highlights top strengths and areas for potential development and growth. This process is designed to provide insight and suggested direction for establishment of a Coaching Development Plan.
The benefits are clear:
Customized coaching: Our assessment helps us tailor our coaching approach to your specific needs.
Enhanced self-awareness: Gain valuable insights from multiple perspectives.
Improved performance: Identify areas for development and create a targeted action plan.
This has been highlighted by many of our clients as an invaluable exercise that generates feedback and other information that many executives do not receive on a regular basis.

Emotional Intelligence Assessments
Why Emotional Intelligence Matters in Leadership
Today's leaders need more than just technical skills. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is critical for navigating complex situations, making sound decisions, and inspiring teams. Leaders with high EQ excel at communication, build trust, and foster a positive work environment where everyone thrives. Investing in EQ development empowers leaders to unlock their full potential and create a culture of success within their organization.
At HR Alliance, we offer both EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 Assessments to our clients.:
Building on the EQ-i 2.0, this assessment goes further by incorporating feedback from colleagues, superiors, and even direct reports. This approach offers a comprehensive view of your leadership impact, highlighting areas for growth.
The EQ-i 2.0 self-assessment measures your emotional intelligence (EQ), providing insights into strengths like self-awareness, self-regulation, and motivation. It helps you understand your emotional landscape and its impact on decisions and interactions.

Leadership Circle Profile
The Leadership Circle Profile provides a detailed snapshot in time, enabling leaders to answer the question, “How are my behaviours and mindset enabling or constraining my intended leadership impact and our business performance?”
The Leadership Circle Profile is the only instrument that measures the two primary leadership domains - Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies. It measures underlying beliefs and assumptions - the habits of thought that run much of our behaviour. As leaders gain these insights, they have much higher leverage to make transformative change. LCP reflects and synthesizes a diverse body of scientific research.
The LCP continues to evolve, and it remains a leading edge and global standard in assessment methodology. The Institute for Psychological Research and Application (IPRA) has confirmed through rigorous statistical and methodological analysis that “The Leadership Circle Profile is an internally consistent, valid measure for leadership development. The psychometric properties of the Leadership Circle Profile are strong.”
