A workplace behavioral assessment for individuals and teams

Elevating Insight is designed to help people better understand how they work, communicate, collaborate, and lead. Built around the How You Work core assessment, it provides practical insight that can be used in coaching, facilitation, leadership development, and team growth.

What Is Elevating Insight?

Elevating Insight is a development-focused assessment experience designed to help individuals and teams better understand how they naturally show up at work.

At the center of Elevating Insight is How You Work, the core assessment built on the Workplace Behavioral Tendencies framework. It helps people better understand how they communicate, make decisions, approach collaboration, respond to change, and interact with others in workplace settings.

This work is meant to be practical. The goal is not to label people. The goal is to create stronger self-awareness, better conversations, and more intentional action.

What Comes Next?

How You Work is the core assessment experience, and additional development-focused insights can be incorporated depending on the need.

For some individuals and teams, the core assessment provides a strong starting point. In other situations, that work can expand into deeper conversations around leadership, conflict, connection, motivation, and team dynamics.

The right path depends on the goals of the individual, team, or organization.

How You Work is built around the Workplace Behavioral Tendencies framework.

This framework focuses on four tendencies that may influence how people approach work and interact with others.

Driving
Results-focused, decisive, and action-oriented

Expressive
Energetic, collaborative, and people-centered

Steady
Reliable, thoughtful, and consistency-focused

Analytical
Systematic, precise, and logic-oriented

Everyone carries elements of all four tendencies. The assessment is designed to highlight the patterns that may be most natural or most prominent in workplace settings.

This is not about placing people into rigid boxes. It is about creating greater awareness of behavioral tendencies that can influence how work gets done.

What Is How You Work?

How You Work is the core assessment within Elevating Insight.

It is designed to help individuals understand the behavioral tendencies that may shape how they operate at work. This includes how they tend to communicate, how they move through decisions, how they engage with others, how they approach structure and pace, and how they respond in day-to-day work environments.

For teams, How You Work creates a shared language that can support better collaboration, clearer communication, stronger leadership, and more productive working relationships.

For coaches, facilitators, and consultants, it provides a practical starting point for reflection, discussion, and development.
