Talent Identification and Development

Talent Identification is grounded in assessment/measurement and Narrative Based Coaching.  The core of Talent Development includes pattern matching/stacking, growth mindset, emotional intelligence, personal branding and personal relationships.

Narrative Based Coaching (NBC) We all have a narrative that is written for us or by us. If you don't understand your narrative you can't change. If others don't understand your narrative, they can't help you change.

Pattern Matching/Stacking: Pattern matching/stacking is a ability to recognize similarities in different environments and use this information to guide problem solving, decision making, creativity and innovation.

Growth Mindset: Growth Mindset is a belief system about how we make sense of the world that orients the way we handle situations or make decisions. It's the way we sort out what is going on and what we should do. 

Personal Branding:  A personal brand is made up of personal brand image or the feeling that someone has about you and personal brand identity or your unique perspective, unique education and unique experience. 

Emotional Intelligence:  EI is the #1 predictor of performance in the work place.  It can be taught and learned. Those that have it perform at a higher level than those that don't. EI starts with developing self awarenesss. 

Personal Relationships:  Relationships are how things get done. A relationship becomes personal (or meaningful) when two (or more) people, through interdependence, work towards a common goal.
