What are the applications of Facet5 in your coaching practice?

Individual coaching: Utilise the broad range of personality-based profiles to help clients identify and harness their strengths, set realistic and impactful goals, and develop strategies to manage stress and enhance well-being. Individuals who use the Facet5 report improved their work-life balance, reduced their stress levels, had higher self-confidence, and had better goal-setting and achieving capabilities.

Team coaching and development: Apply our TeamScape profile to facilitate team workshops, enhancing understanding among team members, improving communication, and driving team performance through optimised collaboration. According to research published by the Institute of Coaching, over 70% of individuals who receive team coaching benefited from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills. Additionally, 86% of companies reported that they recouped their investment in coaching and more.

Leadership development: Guide leaders in understanding their leadership style, how they can effectively motivate others, and how to adapt their approach to different team dynamics and organisational cultures. According to a study by the Centre for Creative Leadership, organisations that offered coaching to their executives reported improvements in communication, interpersonal and management skills among those coached, leading to better leadership effectiveness.

Career coaching: Coaching accelerates career advancement. Organisations that integrate coaching into their talent development strategies often see faster leadership development and succession planning. Our unique career coaching profile supports meaningful career conversations and planning.

So why choose Facet5?

We believe understanding your personality – really, truly understanding it, provides an individual with a sense of their identity and the know-how to thrive in a changing world.

A Trait Based / Normative Tool
Personality traits are measured along a continuum rather than a forced dichotomy between one type or another. This is a more precise and meaningful approach and allows people to understand their personality in relation to others.

Big5 theory of personality
Based on data driven research, the Big5 theory of personality is recognised as the most reliable and valid way of measuring and describing personality.

Emotionality as a ‘lens’
Facet5 is the only model to apply Emotionality as an interpretive element. Emotionality impacts how the other factors show up and this can create real lightbulb moments in people’s self-awareness.

Natural language
Facet5 uses a natural everyday terms that is more familiar and strengths based. This creates a common language for understanding and talking about behaviours – rather than using overly academic or less balanced language.

"Facet5 gave me that ‘a-ha’ moment. I was instantly able to connect how I perceived myself and the way I like to work “ and how I work with others".
