Think of it as your guide to navigating the office jungle! Great assessment facilitators train you to speak fluent "people" by adapting your communication style to each type. Imagine a world where your colleagues actually understand what you're saying!

Assessments are all about self-awareness and communication, not replacing good old-fashioned emotional intelligence. Let us know what your favorite assessments are and why!
