Now that fall is in full swing, it’s time for you to go back to school! Well, not really, but I do have some tests for you to take. Before you panic, let me assure you, these tests are both easy and fun. And the best news: there are no wrong answers! I am referring to career assessments. These assessments can help you:
- Identify your greatest strengths and talents
- Understand your personal communication style, and
- Clarify your career interests
Having a solid understanding of your skills, work style and professional interests allows you to steer your career in the most fulfilling direction. This month, I will share four recommended assessments to assist you on this journey. Each assessment is available online, and several are free of charge.
The first assessment I recommend is “The Platinum Rule.” This communication style assessment can be taken online at: http://www.platinumrule.com
The Platinum Rule helps you understand your communication style, and the styles of others around you, so you can effectively communicate and build rapport with anyone.
I also recommend the book: The Platinum Rule: Discover the Four Basic Business Personalities and How They Can Lead You to Success. It provides instructions on how to identify and adapt to each communication style.
If you’d like assistance applying your Platinum Rule results to your everyday work life and real-time communication challenges - shoot me an email and we can schedule a time to chat. Next week, I’ll feature a free online personality assessment.
