What assessments are your colleagues using in their coaching practices? The semi-annual ICF NYC Assessments event provides an opportunity to learn from chapter members about some of their favored assessments -- how the assessment works, how it is incorporated into the coaching work, where and with whom they are used, and more.
Summary Details

Who is this event for: Experienced and new coaches that want to continue to learn about assessments to find out which may be appropriate for different situations.
The Event
Assessments are one of the foundational tools in coaching and there are a myriad in the marketplace. Particularly for those new to coaching, understanding the uses of specific assessments and differences between the different tools can be a lot to navigate. And, for experienced coaches, there is always an interest in expanding our toolkits. At the same time, assessments can be costly, particularly where certification for use may be required, so having more familiarity with options in the marketplace can help prioritize your learning and investment objectives. The 2021 Assessments Fair will give you a deep knowledge of 3 very powerful assessment tools in use today. Come learn how these assessments can support your coaching engagements!
Note on the presentations: This event is being presented by ICF Members, not the assessment company representatives. None of the presenters are representatives of or have any business interests in the assessment they are sharing. We asked members what assessments they are using and which they wanted to learn about. Our presenters volunteered to share their authentic perspective on the assessments that they like to use. This gives participants a “real world” view of how hired coaches are using these assessments and what value the assessments results bring to their clients. Inclusion of the assessments in the program does not represent an endorsement by ICF NYC. Assessments to be presented include:
Values In Action (VIA) presented by Jane Maloney
VIA Survey is a scientifically validated tool for identifying an individual’s unique character strengths profile. The survey is built upon the VIA Classification of Character Strengths and Virtues (Peterson & Seligman, 2004) that identified 24 positive traits that live in all human beings to different degrees. This tool is appropriate for any coaching goals that require self-awareness to build resilience, manage stress or achieve greater fulfillment as well as coaching goals that require the ability to spot strengths in others to build motivation and create a more inspiring work environment.
The VIA Survey of Character Strengths takes less than 15 minutes and provides a wealth of information to help you understand your best qualities. Character strengths are the positive parts of your personality that make you feel authentic and engaged. You possess all 24 character strengths in different degrees, giving you a unique character strengths profile. VIA Reports provide personalized, in-depth analysis of your results, including actionable tips to apply your strengths to find greater well-being.
LIFO presented by Tanea Flanders
LIFO starts with learning your individual style preferences and those of others. Then, enormous productivity improvements can be realized using common language to communicate with people in the style that they wish to be communicated to.
This approach leads to understanding the differences in how people work, how they receive information, and how they deliver information. Our goal is to get teams talking, providing feedback to each other, and working to understand their behavioral styles in order to capitalize not only on their own strengths, but also on the strengths of those around them. LIFO® is a unique approach and sustainable in organizations.
LIFO® - Life Orientation's unique approach identifies each person's strengths and styles. THE LIFO® METHOD is a means for understanding and working well with people. It helps us discover our strengths and how much we use each of the four basic behavioral styles. It does not label people or put them in a box. Each one of us is a unique combination of all four styles.
We are not one thing or another. We are one thing AND another.
