Psychometrics and 360° Appraisals
Psychometric tools and 360° Appraisals can be highly effective in increasing self-awareness and helping people identify ways in which they can develop and improve performance.
It is recommended that psychometric tools are not used in isolation but as part of a coaching package, selection process or team development programme.
Sophie can advise which psychometrics will be most useful for you and/or your team/organisation.

1:1 feedback sessions with Sophie will facilitate reflection and learning and will help the appraisee develop a personal develop plan to increase their effectiveness as a leader.
