self-assessments that can provide the company/corporation
with information about self-perceived needs or those perceived
by others about an individual. Many persons are aware of
their difficulties but fear sharing them or admitting to
them to supervisors or staff. We have learned that very,
very often they can be those who have the most to offer
their company!
We
supply you with the self-assessments and analyze the responses,
rank/order needs relative to area of need (i.e., fear
of public speaking, accent, voice aesthetics, stuttering,
etc.), and much more.
