How we use Birkman to create the Agility to Elevate
C-Suite Executive/Athletic Org Team Consulting + Birkman
We begin with the Birkman® Assessment for desired individuals of the leadership team/coaching staff. Each individual's Birkman® Assessment delivers a custom set of reports detailing a person’s energizing activities, strengths or usual behavior, stress triggers, and stress behaviors. Once we capture the data through our online testing center, we are able to select from more than 50 different reports to create a unique feedback experience for our client leadership teams. After working with our leaders individually to devise their unique self-leadership growth plan, we transition to elevating team leadership. Depending on the scope of the organization's need, the options below are available as part of the consulting package.

Executive Flip Books: We work with the CEO & President or Athletic Director/Head Coach of a company or program to identify the key traits he or she wants in each of their Executives. This information is converted into a flip book and trained to the Executive Team as a group and in individual coaching sessions.
