Taking your profile test is the first step to gaining a far deeper understanding about your own talents and how to be “In Flow” more often so that you can achieve far greater results without the need to work harder.
It will also help you to understand Who you need around you to build a High Performing Team that Trust you and each other, as well as helping you to recognise the areas you’ll find the most challenging so you can get the right support to grow.
Once your profile has been completed a debrief session is conducted in person or online. All you need to have is a copy of the Contribution Compass Profile report you will receive once you have taken your test.
If you are a team leader, your personalised report will give you clear direction on what leadership approach works for you, who you need around you and where you may need to recruit different profiles to balance your team.
Why focus on trying to push team members to get results when you can help them get into flow and see your company grow?
* NOTE: if you are taking the test as part of a team Workshop option, there is no personal debrief session. This is worked into the workshop program in the form of a team debrief.
Meet the Eight Contribution Compass Profiles
Accelerating Change
A Catalyst is a person who ACCELERATES change. They excel at getting something going with energy. They bring new ideas and creative approaches into any team. Catalysts are often found in product or service development, where they bring new ideas to life and explore innovative concepts (often at a very fast pace!).
Blazing a Trail
Champions are great at BLAZING a trail. They are vibrant and exciting, and excel at taking a proven idea and broadcasting it to a wide audience, garnering support and enthusiasm. Champions are often found in sales and marketing roles, where they naturally sell a product, concept or brand through inner conviction of the value.
Igniting Greatness
A Coach is a person who ignites the fire and passion of others to work together as a team focused on bringing a central idea to life. Coaches bring warmth, energy and inspiration, which lights up the path for others so that they may strive for personal excellence and team success. They excel at understanding people deeply and being tuned to their emotions and what their team really need in order to overcome challenges. Coaches are often found rallying teams and developing talent, and are often involved in roles focused on leadership, networking, customer acquisition or recruitment.
Building Bridges
A Connector is a person who brings people, ideas and resources together, and like a lake into which all rivers flow, they have a special gift that can unite the right people at the right time and place. This ability to connect is driven from a combined understanding of what people really need and the resources and opportunities available that may best serve those needs. They excel in communication and being able to talk through ideas, challenges and solutions to create a collective way forward. Connectors are the quintessential diplomats and can often be found at the negotiating table or at networking events, where their extensive networking relationships support building bridges between people and resources.
Honouring the Promise
A Custodian is a person who has the ability to nurture and support the ideas of others and bring them to life, while guarding and protecting the assets and resources under their care. Their gentle and supportive energy is grounded in their understanding of reality, resources, timing and practical considerations. They excel in their ability to get tasks done, maintain routines and honour commitments and deadlines, while ensuring that the right activity delivers tangible results. Custodians are often found in operational and customer service environments where timing, a sense of urgency, routine activity and a service ethic are paramount.
Nurturing Growth
A Cultivator is a person who guides and shapes the growth of a team, project or enterprise through a subtle influence that seeks to adjust, refine and develop. Just as a plant grows and strengthens through a flexible response to its environment, so too does a Cultivator make incremental adjustments in their environment to achieve long-term, sustainable growth. They excel in their ability to manage complex projects and deliverables, while making sure that resources are carefully managed and risk is mitigated in a timely manner. Cultivators are often found in project management environments where the careful balance of people, time and money is a critical skill.
Optimising the Performance
A Conductor is a person who, just like the conductor of an orchestra, uses their focused and efficient energy to direct the singular instruments of the orchestra into a unified and optimised collective. With the wave of a baton, the conductor keeps the whole orchestra in rhythm and in tune. So too does a Conductor excel at making sure a process or function runs optimally and efficiently. With a natural affinity for analysis and data, a Conductor is able to find meaningful insights through information and the analysis thereof. Indeed, they revel in solving problems through logic and fact. Conductors are often found in research, quality management, production and accounting fields, where the numbers, graphs and data feed tell a story of their own.
Fine-tuning the Instruments
A Calibrator is a person who ensures that the instruments used to create value are continuously refined and adjusted where necessary. These instruments could include the business model, the systems or technologies, the methodologies utilised or any kind of tool required or applied in the delivery of the promise. This kind of energy is relentless in its pursuit of continuous improvement and incremental refinement. Calibrators excel when they can tinker with how the system works and experiment with new approaches to old problems.
