AssessmentsWise Effort at Work
Before we begin
Thank you for doing this before we meet.
There are four short parts. Together they take about thirty minutes. None of it is a test, and there are no wrong answers — the point is that I arrive at our first conversation already knowing something about you, so we don't spend our first hour getting oriented.
Please send it back at least three days before we meet.
Your answers save in this browser as you go, so you can stop and come back. Nothing is sent anywhere until you send it yourself at the end.
Part 1
What brings you here
A few sentences each is plenty.
Not a problem either way — it just helps me understand the landscape.
Part 2
The Wise Effort at Work Assessment
Five areas. In each, check every statement that feels true of you as it relates to your work.
Some blocks will be lopsided. That's the useful part.
Part 3
Your genius, roughly
We'll go much deeper in week one. For now, first instincts are better than careful ones.
What comes easily to you?
How you're built — small groups or large, alone to recharge or with others.
What you're drawn to, in and out of work.
Part 4
Where your energy goes
Last step
Send it back
That's everything. Thank you — I'll have read all of it before we speak.
