Assessments and Tools Conversational Intelligence Conversational Intelligence at work is necessary for building trust. Not using it could lead to disengagement. You’ll learn the signs of trust and how to tap into people’s highest level thinking potential. Join Becky Freemal, anchor of WFXR news, with Judith Glaser, author of Conversational Intelligence and Lynda McNutt Foster, CEO of Cortex Leadership Consulting. DISC Assessment The research-based, validated TTI Success Insights assessment we use at Cortex Leadership Consulting measures behaviors in five behavioral dimensions using the DISC theory. DISC measures Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance and was first developed by William Moulton Marston. Cortex Team Strengths The Cortex Team Strengths assessment helps to better understand which of the four phases of a project cycle you prefer to work within. Ideally, teamwork proceeds sequentially from initiation to ideation, elaboration, and completion. Cortex 360 Assessment 360 surveys are assessment tools that provide leaders and employees with feedback about their performance. The surveys’ subject is rated in areas such as leadership, communication, productivity, and technical skills. The subject also rates themselves in these areas. DDT / TED TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) is a positive alternative to the Drama Triangle, which was first described by Stephen Karpman, MD. The Dreaded Drama Triangle (DDT)™ is comprised of three roles: Victim (the primary role), Persecutor (which the Victim blames for their suffering); and the Rescuer (who steps in to try and take away the Victim’s suffering). People shift in and out of all three roles in this Dreaded Drama Triangle (DDT). Stress Quotient This assessment is designed to pinpoint the source of workplace stress for individuals and teams Time Mastery 2.0 You’ll never deal with time the same way again after learning the Cortex Method of time design and AI implementation. Meeting Toolkit this tool can be purchased to be used as “training tools” for leaders to conduct the most effective and efficient meetings possible for their teams. Currency of Trust This powerful communication tool has multiple applications. We work with the 6 elements of trust, which include Sincerity, Involvement, Competence, Standards, Reliability, and Time.
