Intentional Personality Change
Did you know that most commercially available personality tests do not have scientific support? That’s right – even the ones used by billion-dollar corporations and schools to funnel people into their “ideal” roles do not predict career success. These tests also assume the personality is set in stone and that people make the best of the traits they’re born with. However, personality science tells us that traits can and do change over time. So what if, instead of “staying in your lane” personality-wise, you imagined the career that you want and intentionally developed the traits you’d need to get there?
At the start of any journey, it is important to know where you’re starting. This course will provide access to Personality Compass, a science-supported assessment tool based on the Big Five model of personality. We will also discuss actionable strategies to nudge your traits in the direction of your goals.

What is Personality Coaching?
We start by getting clarity on how your personality may support or hinder your journey toward your personal and professional goals. You will use “Personality Compass,” a science-based assessment tool to understand your starting point (your personality it its current state) on the only five traits shown to predict success on the life outcomes that matter to us. Then, in a one-on-on session (50-minutes), Dr. Sauer-Zavala will provide guidance and tools (e.g., a downloadable planner) on how to nudge your traits in the direction that will support your personal development and career growth goals. Strategies include catching and challenging self-limiting beliefs about who you are and what you can do, as well as creating a concrete plan to change and maintain behaviors that align with your desired traits.
