At the heart of all development and personal growth is the need for high levels of self-awareness. This is something that all high achievers, and those that go on to fulfil their potential in any field, possess. Awareness of where they are now, what they want to achieve and very importantly what their personal preferences and behaviours mean for their relationships.
They have a good understanding of why they do what they do, of how they impact on themselves and other people and also how they respond to the actions and behaviour of others. Knowing this they take personal responsibility to adapt and manage their behaviours and make the changes needed to get the best results for themselves and everyone else around them.
Coaching and Mentoring are great ways to support this development, whether through external resources or through line management or creating an internal capability. Using psychometric tools in appropriate circumstances can also help individuals, teams and organisations accelerate their learning and raise self-awareness to even higher levels. They can also underpin the development of specific programmes and more personalised learning.
Developing Potential use psychometric tools as part of our portfolio in supporting leadership, cultural and personal development. Having searched the market for the tools we think are most appropriate for leaders and individuals in any sector, we chose Thomas International as our partner.

Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) provides an insight into how people behave at work and helps individuals to become more aware of their own preferred work style and way of doing things as well as developing their awareness of how others may behave quite differently. PPA can be used for a variety of purposes: recruitment, retention, development, management, career guidance, benchmarking, appraisal and team analysis. For more information please click on the PPA logo above.
The General Intelligence Assessment (GIA) looks at an individual’s response to training and the ability to learn and develop new skills. It can be used for a variety of purposes: recruitment, retention, development, management, identifying training needs, career guidance, succession planning and benchmarking. For more information please click on the GIA logo above.
The concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI) looks at how individuals attend to, process and utilise their own emotions as well as other people’s emotions. TEIQue is a scientific instrument based on trait Emotional Intelligence theory and enables individuals and teams to better understand themselves and how they react emotionally and through developing awareness allows them to choose to respond differently to achieve better outcomes and results. For more information please click on the TEIQue logo above.
Thomas 360 degree feedback is a process whereby an individual is rated on their performance by people who are aware of their work (the respondents). This includes the individual (Self-rating), their Manager, Peers, Team members (including direct reports) and Customers. It can be used for staff development, coaching and managing performance, talent identification and management and as part of an appraisal process.
