In this issue: The Birkman Method, Stretch Healthy Leader Greg Purdon, Intern Nick McCleary, Amazon Best Seller, 2022 speaking topics

by Cyndi Wineinger The Birkman: AKA Behavioral assessment on Steroids Darcy and I were teaching a class at Stober Manufacturing last week, and during our Birkman training a group leader shouted “Dang! This is like Culture Index on steroids!” Brilliant! And one of many reasons we love the Birkman.

Why we use Birkman I have taught and trained in many tools, including DiSC, Myers Briggs (16PF), Highlands Ability Inventory, StrengthFinders, etc. They all do amazing things. So why the Birkman?

Multiple Assessments in One With thorough measures of personality, motivation, and interest, the Birkman produces what typically requires multiple assessments. It demonstrates that distinct factors account for the majority of variance in job performance and job satisfaction. And we can impact these areas through knowledge and understanding. How my Usual behavior and positive “best self” show up every day. How I operate and how I align with scoring patterns of others. I can finally see if I am unique or operating in similar patterns to others. What I Need from the world to feel like I am grounded and operating at my best. What happens when I am Stressed and how to recognize my stress patterns and pop right back out of them. What I am Interested in and what Motivates me. How I handle my Image as I go through my day.
