Her first offering, a 12-month program called the Power of Self, combined experiential learning and individual coaching, and provided an opportunity for women to gain greater personal clarity and a strategic framework for making more deliberate choices in all dimensions of their lives.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®
The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment.
Thomas-Kilmann Indicator-TKI ®
Based on Dr. Kilmann’s fifty-plus years of organizational research, executive teaching, and extensive management consulting, the complex topics of conflict and change are intertwined through a carefully orchestrated sequence of eight tracks for quantum transformation: cultures, skills, teams, strategy-structures, reward systems… and the three process management (improvement) tracks. This sequence of change tracks reveals the Method that can eventually achieve the Kilmann Diagnostics Mission.
