Client Testimonials

"At our firm, we use the Birkman for one-on-one coaching, leadership training, and team-based activities. During team training, for example, these helpful reports can be replicated in very tactile ways in the room. Participants are able to visually see where others score versus themselves and the implications are powerful. It's both playful and insightful."

"The power of the Birkman is its ability to make sense of the stories we tell of our interactions with others, which forms the basis of who we are and how we act."

"My conversations with employees are enlightening. They express such gratitude for that self-awareness that illuminates their path and gets them to where they want to go. We are about to reintroduce the concept of Appreciative Inquiry which, while highly effective, can sometimes be considered soft and philosophical. To give it a solid foundation, we pair it with Birkman.”

"Developing Principal Leaders for Global Enterprise' is our school motto. Birkman is the primary instrument for doing just this. Even better, some students - the leaders we are developing - bring Birkman to their company."

"We have used it extensively in Leadership Development, as well as in other Organizational Development functions like new team start-up and new leader integration. We have even partnered with Birkman International to conduct predictive research on our talent – data that can be leveraged in a variety of ways."

"Many other assessments err on one side or the other – either too obtuse to be useful or too simple to be trusted. In using the Birkman we’ve found a tool that allows us to have profound, impactful conversations with our people about how best to work with others and how to get the most out of their own inherent talents and interests. I’d recommend it to any organization looking for ways to maximize and grow their people."

"We currently utilize the Birkman as an incredibly effective tool for raising both individual and team awareness of interests, usual styles, needs, and stress behaviors to leverage individual strengths and optimize team performance."

"Once you understand the individuals you work with each day, you can give greater opportunity to your employees and create a more powerful team. The Birkman Method provides thought-provoking insights and understanding."

"Teenagers have notoriously short attention spans, and Birkman's Interests, which measure passion for different roles and tasks, is just long enough to produce the data I need to guide them. Birkman is an essential tool that supports the success of my business."

"After I took my Birkman and realized the things that I'm really most passionate about in my interests, I realized that people really wanted to know what I resonated with most. The response was completely different than what I thought people would say. People then saw who I really am, what I was really bringing to the table, and it made me more comfortable being who I am in every setting – and I love the Birkman just for that.”

"We use a variety of Birkman reports to tailor discussions with our employees to promote self-awareness and encourage team effectiveness. Our partnership with Birkman International is a valuable component in our strategy to develop and enable employees to reach their professional and personal goals."

"Everyone's Birkman report provides non-judgmental language that helps people hone in on their strengths while becoming more aware of their biases and expectations. They tell me being clear about who they are, what they bring to the table, and what they expect as managers — all insights from their Birkman reports — accelerates their professional growth."
