Assessment FAQ
What is the DiSC assessment?
The Wiley EverythingDiSC assessment is a behavioral tool that identifies you communication style, how you respond to conflict, what motivates you, and how you work with others. It’s widely used in leadership development, team building, and coaching because it provides simple, practical language you can apply immediately at work.
Do you Offer 360 assessments?
Yes. IronRoots Leadership offers 360 feedback assessments to give leaders and professionals a clear picture of how others experience their communication, collaboration and leadership behaviors. 360s are a powerful development tool for anyone who wants a deeper, more objective understanding of their strengths and opportunities for improvement.
How does a 360 assessment work?
A 360 assessment gathers confidential feedback from peers, direct reports, supervisors, and other stakeholders. After the results are compiled, we walk through a detailed debrief to identify themes, strengths, and development opportunities. The insights then feed directly into your coaching plan or professional development goals.
What is the CliftonStrengths assessment?
CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) is an assessment that identifies your top talents and shows you how to use them effectively. Instead of focusing on weaknesses, CliftonStrengths highlights what you naturally do well, so you can lead, communicate, and collaborate with more confidence and energy.
How do DiSC and CliftonStrengths help in coaching?
DiSC shows how you communicate and respond in conflict situations. CliftonStrengths identifies your natural talents and how to apply them effectively. Each provides powerful personal insights that create a clear starting point for coaching and help you build practical, personalized development goals.
Do you offer team assessments or workshops?
Yes. I facilitate team DiSC workshops, CliftonStrengths workshops, and customized team development experiences that improve communication, build trust, and enable better collaboration.
