How Do You Know If You're Really Self-Aware?

Most people believe they have a solid sense of their own self-awareness. We think we understand how others perceive us — but often, there's a gap between intention and impact.

After working with hundreds of clients, one thing I know for sure is this:

Everyone believes they are acting in alignment with their role and values, whether those values are clearly defined or not. But just as often, what people think their impact is — and how they're actually experienced — doesn't always match.

Here's the other thing:


People crave insight. Whether it’s recognition, direction, or a sense of how to grow, we all want to know how we’re doing. But honest, constructive feedback can be hard to come by — especially from managers or colleagues who aren't sure how to give it clearly.

This is where assessments come in.


Used thoughtfully, they can be a powerful mirror — offering clarity, validation, and a deeper sense of direction in your leadership and personal growth.

Depending on how much reflection, feedback, and exploration you're open to, here are a few assessment tools I offer that meet you where you are:

  • Hogan Assessment – a data-driven, self-report tool for exploring strengths, derailers, and values.

  • CCL 360 – a research-backed 360 feedback tool that reflects how others experience your leadership.

  • Human Design – a more intuitive, energetically aligned framework that offers insight into your natural decision-making and patterns.

  • Social Styles (similar to DISC) – practical, team-oriented tools that improve communication and collaboration quickly with a downloadable self-assessment.
