Question 1

Verbal 360

Accepted Answer

Participating in a 360° Feedback Assessment (“360”) is a powerful and safe way for you to obtain rich and varied feedback of your leadership strengths and areas for development. Working closely with Joanne you craft unique custom questions, craft your communication plan, and choose managers, colleagues, direct reports, and customers/board members for Joanne to interview. The result is a comprehensive written summary report seen only by you.
 
Debriefing over several sessions, the Verbal 360 is a powerful experience and a foundation for becoming aware of and understanding the leadership capabilities you want to reinforce, and the skills you will want to learn and master during the coaching process.

Question 2

The Bates Executive Presence Indicator (ExPI)

Accepted Answer

The Bates ExPI™ multi-rater assessment provides you as an executive or high-potential leader with an in-depth analysis of your ability to influence business outcomes. The assessment is a powerful foundational tool for coaching and for your development plan. Bates ExPI™ feedback helps you as a leader build the presence and influence necessary for mobilizing teams, driving strategy, and making an impact. Organizations use the tool to develop current and future leaders and to guide strong succession plans.
 
The Bates ExPI™ focuses on the 3 dimensions of executive presence outlined by the Bates model - Character, Substance, and Style. Individual rating scales measure 15 distinct facets proven by research to be directly related to a leader’s ability to influence. Perceptions of your important stakeholders - peers, direct reports, and managers - are compared with your self-perceptions in order to identify your strengths, needs, and gaps.
 
Once the results are tabulated, you receives an indepth ExPI™ Feedback Report and User Guide. Joanne provides you an individualized orientation and feedback session to discuss and interpret themes. Through this process, you develop a strong conceptual understanding of what Executive Presence is, learn how to leverage your individual strengths, and gain insight into how to improve in critical areas that will drive your success.
