031: Personality Assessments: What They Can (and Can't) Do for Your and Your Team

This week on the podcast, Chloe is talking all about personality and workstyle assessments. No, she’s not going to tell you which one is the best (because “best” is relative to what your needs are), but she is going to tell you all about the ways in which using assessments can help you and your team, the limitations of these types of assessments, how not to use them, and what to look for when deciding what assessment might be right for your needs. 

If you’d like to have a conversation about how and which assessment can best support you and your team’s or business’s needs, you can schedule a consultation with Chloe directly here.
