Certified Hogan practitioner and coach
Certified to administer and interpret the full Hogan suite — HPI, HDS, and MVPI — for selection, development, and succession work.
About the practice
A leadership development practice built on one belief: assessment only matters if behavior changes.
Lighthouse Leader Development is a leadership development consultancy for the people who build leadership pipelines — talent management, talent acquisition, and L&D teams. We pair validated assessment with personalized coaching, and we measure ourselves on the same thing you do: observable change in leadership style, behaviors, and outcomes. We are proud to be based in Boston, MA with clients across the US.
Why we exist
We started Lighthouse after years of watching the same pattern inside organizations: assessments bought in bulk, reports handed over, and development left to chance.
So we built the practice around the missing half. Every Hogan engagement includes a certified debrief and a structured coaching cadence. Every Insights Discovery program is customized for your specific levels, team dynamics, and friction points, not pulled off a shelf. The instrument is the starting point, not the finish line.
We stay deliberately boutique. That means senior practitioners on every engagement, honest counsel about whether assessment is even the right tool, and no sales layer between you and the people doing the work.
Credentials & certifications
The instruments we use require rigorous certification — and we maintain it.
Licensed Insights Discovery practitioner, facilitator, and coach
Licensed evaluator qualified to deliver Insights Discovery profiles, team sessions, and workshop programs.
DDI certified facilitator
Certified to design and deliver Development Dimensions International (DDI) leadership programs — from frontline manager curricula to senior-leader interaction and coaching courses.
Mid-level through senior leader coaching
Coaching practice aligned to internationally recognized coaching standards with initial consults, manager debriefs, and individualized development plans.
Assessment ethics & data stewardship
Assessment data is handled with strict confidentiality, shared only with the participant and the stakeholders you designate, and never used outside its intended purpose.
Our coaching approach
Structured, evidence-based, and pointed at behavior — not insight for its own sake.
01
Assessment-anchored
Coaching starts from validated data, not gut feel. The debrief sets an honest baseline the leader can't argue with, because it's their own reputation in their own words.
02
Behavior over insight
Awareness is the input, not the outcome. Every engagement ends with specific, observable behavioral commitments — and a cadence that checks whether they happened.
03
Built for your talent process
Development plans are written to plug into your talent review, succession, and performance conversations — so the work compounds inside your system instead of alongside it.
04
Honest counsel
If a hire doesn't warrant assessment, or a struggling team needs something other than a workshop, we say so. Our value is being right, not being busy.
