Am I Dealing Productively with Stress?

You probably don’t need a survey to answer this question. You already know. We all need some level of stress to move us toward a better life. However, between worrying about paying bills, enjoying a social life, problems with work, concerns about family members and difficult people in your life, there is much to be stressed about. If you are doing this survey as a call for help, we hear and we help professional service providers and those they refer.  Since high levels of stress drain the energy and joy out of us, we need to identify what is triggering our stress, and to take professionally guided steps to reduce stress before stress reduces us. The problem is, in the midst of the problem, what we may see as ‘the problem’ is rarely THE problem.

Everyone’s capacity to deal with stress is different.  But one thing is sure: Those who aspire to, or once aspired to make maximum impact in both their workplace and outside work, will be debilitated by too much stress. The results of this survey will highlight the extent to which you are coping with YOUR stress. Stressed people usually do not read much ‘self-help’ so we won’t be sending you heaps of ‘ToDo’ stuff. Rather, you can peruse our Member’s Impact Tools section under Resources.

Some people seem to know us even better than we know ourselves! This survey can be completed independently by someone who knows you well ie a trusted colleague, a partner or a teenager. Just ask and we will provide paid members with a Survey PassCode for this purpose. However, only your results will be on your Dashboard. Should you be discussing issues with a Maximum Impact Coach, they will be able to access the results submitted by the other person[s] you nominate.

The results have two parts: A] is a visual which groups together your responses by category; and B] provides you a cluster of responses to work on – the ones you ‘Almost Always’ or ‘Frequently’ do.

A Maximum Impact professional coach is available to guide you through the smoke and mirrors to a place where you can reframe who you are, your values, your life purpose and your priorities so that you live and work with more energy, peace and joy, and retain more financial resources at your fingertips.

Am I Dealing Productively with Stress?

Is my Communication a ‘Door-Closer’?

Most of us say things we later regret. Our beliefs and emotions often determine how we actually respond. Guilt and fear can make for powerful door-closers. The following examples will not always close the door to effective communication in work settings, and some are more acceptable in different contexts. Most of us put ‘spin’ on the way we say things to get others to do things.  Colleagues and families will also interpret our comments in unintended ways, due to their temperament and the way they have been socialized and hurt. They may perceive the communication ‘door’ closed in their face.  Work-life is most effective and enjoyable when the lines of communication are kept open.

Your profiling survey results will group together your responses by frequency eg you ‘Almost Always’ do these… You ‘Rarely’ do these… etc, and this provides you a cluster of responses to work on.

Is my Communication a ‘Door-Closer’?

My Manipulation Cluster

Manipulation is a set of behaviours we may engage in to get people to act in ways which they might not have freely chosen. You may have been referred to as a ‘con artist’ or you may simply have the knack of making others feel guilty or responsible for actions or thoughts which are really yours.
Manipulators often present reality in a way they want others to see it rather than the way it actually is. In essence manipulation is used, often unknowingly or subtly to maintain control and power over others, even prompting others to believe they retain the power and control.
It may seem okay to push to get your own way, but the downside is that you will hurt people, people will find it difficult to trust you, and they may be angry with you.
For yourself, you may have to deal with the guilt of manipulating people, even your family, friends and work colleagues, ‘conning’ typically uses up enormous amounts of your energy, and you are more likely to experience depression and emptiness as you live in your fabricated world.
The thing is that people tend to get good at it and can’t stop, then feel bad!    
Completing this assessment will help you to find out the extent to which you use manipulating behaviours.
If you are doing this survey as a call for help, we hear and are here to help.  Knowing you are a manipulator and then worrying about being a manipulator will almost certainly drains your energy and joy.
Maximum Impact exists to identify what’s holding you back, and to assist you to take professionally guided steps to live without manipulating people.

These results present no overall core as it is our belief that all manipulative behaviours need to be addressed. Your responses are listed and they flag likely growth areas for you to work on.

A Maximum Impact professional coach is available to guide you through the smoke and mirrors to a place where you can reframe who you are, your values, your life purpose and your priorities so that you live and work with more energy, peace and joy, and retain more financial resources at your fingertips.

Am I on Track with Reaching My Potential?

You probably don’t need a survey to answer this question. You already know. We have those moments when we know we are just drifting... watching the world and opportunity pass us by. However, between worrying about paying bills, enjoying a social life, problems with work, concerns about family members and difficult people in your life, there is much to derail us from reaching our potential – even knowing and believing what ‘reaching our potential’ looks like.

If you are doing this survey as a call for help, we hear and are here to help professional service providers and those they refer.  Worrying about not reaching your potential usually drains the energy and joy out of us. MIP exists to identify what’s holding you back, and to assist you to take professionally guided steps to live closer to your potential. The problem is, in the midst of the problem, what we may see as ‘the problem’ is rarely THE problem.
Abraham Maslow documented a hierarchy of human needs. Our basic needs are biological drives such as food and sleep then moves up to the second level, shelter, safety, and security. The third need is love or belonging. Further along, the fourth need is esteem from yourself and others. The top of the pyramid is self-actualization. This means "the desire to become more and more what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming."

Completing this assessment will help you to find out how far along you are in your hierarchy of needs. The results will let you know if you are likely to be more or less self actualized and where on the hierarchy of needs you may be currently focused.
Some people seem to know us even better than we know ourselves! This survey can be completed independently by someone who knows you well ie a trusted colleague, a partner or a teenager. Just ask and we will provide paid members with a Survey PassCode for this purpose. However, only your results will be on your Dashboard.

Am I Likely to be the Client from Hell?

Please do not take this too seriously. Some people simply aren't ready for a mutually beneficial coaching journey where the client potential is fostered.

We really try hard to help people to help themselves. Coaches have put this together for a bit of a laugh looking back on clients who were really not interested in investing in coaching, not taking responsibility for their life-ling effectiveness.

Thank God that these points are not usually mentioned at funerals!
Enjoy!     

Am I Likely to be the Client from Hell?

Am I Renewing my Energy Levels?

You may not need a survey to answer this question. Most people say they feel exhausted at the end of a day, even those who have done very little at home or at work, even those on holidays. Unless we can renew our energy levels daily, we will be exhausted. 

Knowing how to renew your energy, and having the right incentives in place to do so is invaluable to life satisfaction and is a true combination of art and science.

This assessment will indicate how effective you are in your striving to renew energy levels. You will become aware of what changes might be made to maintain energy levels.  You may be surprised that it has much more to do with your attitudes and beliefs about who you are, with your values and your life purpose, and about communication styles, than with taking pills and potions and trying to be athletic. Things like carrying extra weight and forcing your vital organs to over-work will typically deplete energy levels.
However, you may find that it is more about not wasting energy.

Our coaches can accelerate your progress.

Disclaimer: This assessment is not intended to provide a psychological or psychiatric or medical diagnosis and your completion of the test does not indicate a professional coaching relationship with Maximum Impact Professionals. Lowered energy levels may well be the result of a medical condition about which we are not qualified to offer advice.

Map your Gap... Unlock your Potential

It's healthy to take stock now and then of how satisfied you are with different parts of your life. 
When you face each day knowing you are falling short of your potential, your dreams tend to evaporate and leave you apathetic, even cynical. 
Though your overall satisfaction will change from day to day, try to give an overall assessment of where you are at present.  
The results provide an excellent starting point for prioritizing changes. They can later also be reference point for mapping and celebrating your progress.  

This survey can be completed independently by someone to whom a member delegates, ie a colleague, a partner or a teenager. This other person does not need to be a paid-up MIP member. Just use the ‘Contact Us’ page to request a Survey PassCode. However, only your results will be available on your Member Dashboard. Should you have a Maximum Impact Coach, they will be able to access the results submitted by the other person[s] you nominate from their secure Coaches Console.                

The results have two parts: Firstly, there is a general ranking score; secondly, the visual displays the gap for each life domain. Both the visual and your responses to the listed questions provides you a cluster of responses to systematically work on to narrow the gap.

Disclaimer: This assessment is not intended to provide a psychological or psychiatric diagnosis and your completion of the test per se does not indicate a professional coaching relationship with Maximum Impact Professionals. In line with our terms and conditions, your results are securely kept on your Member Dashboard.

Map your Gap... Unlock your Potential

Am I ready to Benefit from Coaching?

Find out whether you are someone who is likely to significantly benefit from coaching.
This 50 question assessment based on psychological principles of being coachable, will let you know whether you are really 'coachable' at present.  This is not your generic coachability quiz designed to get you spending your hard-earned money. 
Instead it contains 50 questions that allow you to look deeper into your temperament and personality to find out how well you are likely to do in coaching.
Working with a professional coach requires a significant investment of time, energy, and effort. This assessment will help you to decide whether it is a good idea to invest all of that effort at this point in time to get you further along the way to reaching your potential.
This is the first hurdle to jump if you are thinking about working with an MIP professional coach.  This assessment is focused on the present and will give you an idea of your coachability right now.

Do I Delegate Effectively?

Delegation is an invaluable skill. We can’t possibly get everything done ourselves. Effective delegating at work or at home is a true combination of art and science.

This assessment will indicate how effective your delegation skills are. You will learn whether you have the unique abilities to improve performance and empower employees, peers and emerging young adults in your family, in a way that energizes them and is naturally rewarding for them. The scoring will also tell you some growth areas you might wish to work on. Our Maximum Impact coaches can accelerate your progress.

Work and life outside of work is most effective and enjoyable when tasks are shared. The results have three parts: A is a general ranking score; B is a visual which groups together your responses by category; and C provides you a cluster of responses to work on – the ones you ‘Never’ or ‘Rarely’ do.

This survey can be completed independently by someone to whom a member delegates, ie a colleague, a partner or a teenager. This other person does not need to be a paid-up MIP member. Just use the ‘Contact Us’ page to request a Survey PassCode. However, only your results will be available on your Member Dashboard. Should you have a Maximum Impact Coach, they will be able to access the results submitted by the other person[s] you nominate from their secure Coaches Console.

My Personal Goals

These Personal Goals are generally compiled after you complete your Personal Profile.

The information you provide will be securely kept in strict confidence in accordance with state Privacy laws and will be used for the sole purpose of assisting you to take the necessary steps to achieving your goals. 

 

It is normal to come back to these goals and tweak them over the next little while as you gain clarity on issues. In fact, many people struggle to clearly articulate goals due to their temperament. Two people, very similar in all aspects may have the raw ability to achieve in the Olympics except for temperament and the way they have been socialised before high school. An appreciation of what your temperament and socialisation mean for you – see ‘Unique You’ and ‘Personal Profile’ - followed up with our seven part eCourse to assist you to develop your goals, will have you well prepared to benefits from developing your personal, family and career goals.

Return on Organisational Coaching Investment

Calculating Return on Corporate Investment [ROI] is common and reliable where profit is the bottom line. ROI protocols also have application to the larger non-profits which handle block funding from government to deliver services. Business models are of course well well-established in professional private practice, and increasingly in the public and not-for-profit provision of Professional service delivery.  

However, the demand to perform well for semi-governmental and not-for-profit organizations, say in education systems, hospitals and nursing homes, the larger churches and community organisations is largely a function of accountability to their supporting constituency. The reality is that when the leadership of these groups becomes ineffective, disgruntled families and supporters and clients vote with their feet, often placing the organization on a downward spiral.

Those working or volunteering in these settings know that all is not well, but often lack either the capacity or the seniority to effect needed change. So the table below lists both structural and relational issues common to not-for-profit organizations where leaders get ‘stuck’. Rather than attempt a complex and somewhat expensive dollar calculation, consider the extent to which each of the issues below are major or minor for your organization, or you personally. There is the assumption that each of the twenty statements contribute to attaining best practice, though some of them will be reverse scored.

Am I Intrepreneurial?

It is not a typo... Being intrepreneurial has many of the risk-taking and innovative attributes of being entrepreneurial, but the efforts go toward leading and building the organisation or institution, rather than one's personal endowment.

Providing professional services to those who ‘need’ or ‘want’ them typically has its own intrinsic reward. You may be aware that in countries which could not pay their doctors, nurses and teachers for months on end, they continued to ‘work’ to the extent that they were able to adopt an entrepreneurial approach. In western countries, most of us know another reality: that professional service providers who specialize, are also attracted by the greater monetary reward. Providing higher value services is typically accompanied by higher remuneration, since your clients want value and positive outcomes.  

Those who make maximum impact in both their workplace and outside work, generally see themselves and their circumstances differently to those who are mediocre. The key is often an intrepreneurial approach.  The results of this survey will highlight the extent to which you have an intrepreneurial approach. Together with the results of other surveys, you might wish to consider how the frustration with bureaucracy and colleagues can be lessened for those who ARE intrepreneurial.  Find out if you seem to be wired as a born intrepreneur.

There are signs of both entrepreneurship and interpreneurship that can begin early in life and develop up until the present. If you possess many of these traits and do not pursue some form of innovative venture or effective approach, you may feel incomplete, dissatisfied, and even frustrated.

The results have three parts: Firstly, there is a general ranking score; Then a visual is provided which groups together your responses by category; and finally, there a cluster of responses provided for you to consider working on.
A Maximum Impact professional coach is available to guide you through the smoke and mirrors to a place where you will maximally remunerated for your services and have more energy, peace and joy.

Am I Living My Life Purpose

Lovers of sailing know only too well that “It's the set of the sail, not the direction of the breeze that determines where you go in life.” 

Those who remain passionate about engaging in rewarding work, about living life to the full, and about leaving some legacy, have typically gained clarity on what they believe their life purpose to be. And they know they sometimes have to sail against the wind...
Others have passion and purpose for a season eg a pastime suited to youthfulness, getting financial goals met to get a home or kids through school, or getting through university etc. 
Others who are swept along with the crowd’s values, beliefs and purposes, rarely have tangible goals, and rarely reach their potential.

Others live, work, work, work, work, wonder why, and die. Those who make a difference in both their workplace and outside work, generally see themselves and their circumstances differently to those who are mediocre.

Thus said, being ‘purposeful’ in whatever you do is probably more important than stressing over a clear-cut life purpose. This survey is not meant to actually identify YOUR life purpose, but to flag the extent to which you are living it. We have Impact Tools to assist with Discovering your Life Purpose.
 
So will you be remembered for the difference you made?  The key is knowing and accepting and living your life purpose with enthusiasm and contentment, even if the going gets really tough. It is true of course that many live well, right into retirement, without ever having really considered their ‘life purpose.’ 
They just studied, worked, played, engaged in various relationships, maybe raised a family and generally ‘rose to the occasion’ and ‘did what needed to be done.’ Purpose most likely remained a guiding force, and was just under their surface. Nevertheless, when at the crossroads of life, people are challenged to clarify their purpose in life.  

These results have three parts:
There is a general ranking score; then thers is a visual which groups together your responses by category; and finally there is a cluster of responses in green which might be worthy of further reflection.

This survey can also be completed independently by someone to whom a member delegates, ie a colleague, a partner or a teenager. Just use the Contact Us to request a Survey PassCode.
However, only your results will be available on your Dashboard.

My Cherished Values

Values are the foundational beliefs we have which anchor our lives when the going gets tough.
Values are the things that matter to us the most, the nonnegotiable characteristics that best describe who we are, what we stand for, and what we are prepared to really sacrifice for.
Values largely resist change, though there are times when we tend to CHERISH or hold values more closely... reminds us of the words of the Big Yellow Taxi song, 'We don't know what we've got 'til it's gone!' 
It is curious how good people, often males, will say they value family or romance, but when one looks for the evidence in their diary or their bank transactions, a court would have a hard time convicting them.
