Ep. 38 The Power of Assessments with Catherine Mattice

Send us a Message

Through self-assessment, you are able to become more aware and gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what makes you tick, find out what your weaknesses and strengths are, and better understand your emotional triggers and your leadership qualities.

Assessments are also powerful tools for organizations and teams. They can enable better hiring decisions and create individual development plans to improve performance.

By identifying team members' individual strengths, the team can create more synergy and it may even improve professional relationships.

On this episode, Kim and Louise are joined by Catherine Mattice, founder and CEO of Civility Partners, a consulting firm focused on helping organizations create respectful workplace cultures and specializing in turning around toxic cultures.   Catherine’s award-winning book, BACK OFF! Your Kick-Ass Guide to Ending Bullying at Work, was hailed by international leadership-guru, Ken Blanchard, as, “the most comprehensive and valuable handbook on the topic.”

We're excited to welcome Catherine in for this Kickass Conversation!
