See leaders, team members and candidates from all sides with Birkman psychometric assessment
People don’t realize the impact they have on others - otherwise known as Emotional Intelligence. While most consider themselves to be normal, others may be questioning their actions. They may be wondering, “Why is she like that?” or “I don’t understand his decision.” This discourse can have a profound impact on a person’s ability to lead and interact in a dynamic team, and hinder the development of an energized, evolving company culture.
Using The Birkman Method® psychometric assessment, John Harper can create multi-dimensional portraits of individuals to help them truly understand who they are, and why they behave the way they do. When people see themselves from this perspective, they understand how their actions affect others, and are better equipped to foster healthier relationships and adapt to ever-changing workplace dynamics. It’s a game-changer for a person’s self-awareness and ultimately their emotional intelligence. In today’s climate, EI is a greater predictor for success than IQ.
What is the Birkman Method employee evaluation?
The Birkman Method is a science-based employee evaluation that measures many aspects of personality including:
-
Interests – These are “styles” or “lens” and cognitive filters that individuals use to operate and understand others and situations both in professional and personal life
-
Usual Behaviour – The individual’s effective and productive behavioral style for tasks and relationships
-
Needs – How the individual needs or expects to be treated by other people, and their needs within their environment
-
Stress Behaviour – The person’s ineffective and unproductive behavioral style when that person’s needs are unmet

The core of performance lies in understanding oneself
With the Birkman Method® psychometric assessments, John Harper can help individuals see their true selves, understand how their behavioural traits impact those they work with, and allow them to realize their inner potential.
John brings refreshing insight into how and why each of us acts and reacts the way we do so we can understand how our styles and traits impact those around us. While intuitively everyone should know who they are, having that independent perspective was central in helping to develop our leadership team, and the ways we work together, as well as how we lead and mentor our own teams.
