Personality Assessments

Unlocking Potential with MBTI & Striving Styles

Understanding yourself is the first step to unlocking your potential, whether you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or someone striving for personal growth. I use two powerful personality assessment tools—the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Striving Styles Personality System (SSPS)—to help individuals and teams gain valuable insights, develop self-awareness, and achieve their goals. Here’s how each tool works, its benefits, and how I apply it in my coaching practice.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

The MBTI is a widely recognized tool designed to uncover your personality preferences. It offers deep insights into processing information, making decisions, and interacting with the world. By identifying these preferences, the MBTI helps you better understand your unique gifts and talents, paving the way for improved communication, stronger relationships, and greater effectiveness in all areas of life.

How I Apply the MBTI in Coaching
I use the MBTI to help understand your natural preferences and how they influence your leadership style, relationships, and workplace interactions. Whether we’re exploring your individual growth, leadership development, or team dynamics, the MBTI provides a framework for actionable strategies that enhance your communication and decision-making skills.

Benefits of the MBTI:

  • Gain clarity on your strengths and potential blind spots.
  • Enhance communication and collaboration in personal and professional relationships.
  • Improve leadership effectiveness by understanding how you and others work best.
  • Build cohesive, high-performing teams by leveraging individual differences.
  • Increase personal and workplace productivity.

The MBTI is especially valuable for organizational development, team building, leadership coaching, and solving complex problems. It equips individuals and teams with practical insights that can lead to immediate and lasting improvements.

Striving Styles Personality System (SSPS): The Next Evolution of the MBTI

The Striving Styles Personality System (SSPS) takes the foundational insights of the MBTI a step further by combining personality theory with neuropsychology. While the MBTI focuses on identifying preferences, the SSPS is a developmental framework that explains why we behave the way we do and how to make lasting changes to achieve our full potential.

How the SSPS Goes Beyond the MBTI
Unlike the MBTI, which centers on personality awareness, the SSPS emphasizes emotional development, brain function, and behaviour patterns. It identifies your Dominant Striving Style—the unique way your brain strives for fulfillment—and provides actionable strategies to address unmet needs, overcome fears, and rewire unproductive patterns.

How I Apply the SSPS in Coaching
Using the SSPS, I help you understand the emotional drivers behind your behaviour and guide you in creating a roadmap for self-actualization. This tool is particularly effective for leaders and entrepreneurs seeking to overcome barriers, develop emotional intelligence, and align their energy with long-term goals. The SSPS helps teams foster trust, collaboration, and resilience by addressing core needs and fears.

Benefits of the SSPS:

  • Understand how your personality and brain structure influence your behaviour.
  • Identify emotional needs and fears that may be holding you back.
  • Build resilience and emotional intelligence by creating connections across brain quadrants.
  • Develop a growth mindset through actionable strategies and brain re-patterning.
  • Achieve personal and professional goals by aligning your behaviour with your true self.

The SSPS provides deeper insights and practical tools for transforming how you see yourself and for leading, connecting, and thriving.

Why Use Both Tools?

Together, the MBTI and SSPS provide a comprehensive understanding of your personality. While the MBTI lays the groundwork for self-awareness, the SSPS offers a step-by-step approach to growth and emotional development. By combining these tools, I tailor my coaching to your unique needs, helping you move from simply understanding your personality to actively transforming your life and business.
