Lighthouse Leader Development

Assessments & services

Hogan and Insights Discovery assessments — with coaching that follows through.

We work with two of the most research-backed instruments in the industry — Hogan Personality Inventories and Insights Discovery — and we never hand over a report and walk away. Every assessment comes with expert debriefing and coaching that turns data into changed behavior.

Data-backed selection, development, and succession

Hogan Personality Inventories

Three instruments, one complete picture of leadership.

Hogan is the gold standard for predicting performance and derailment at scale. Built on decades of research and used by more than half of the Fortune 500, it measures reputation — how others actually experience a leader — rather than self-report idealism. That's what makes it defensible in selection decisions and credible in the boardroom.

  • 1

    HPI — Hogan Personality Inventory

    How a leader performs day to day. Seven primary scales and six occupational scales describe everyday strengths — the bright-side reputation colleagues and direct reports experience.

  • 2

    HDS — Hogan Development Survey

    How a leader behaves under stress and pressure. Eleven derailment scales predict the dark-side patterns that emerge when guard drops — the risks that stall careers and damage teams.

  • 3

    MVPI — Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory

    What drives a leader's decisions. Ten value dimensions reveal core motives and preferences — the fit data that explains why someone thrives in one culture and burns out in another.

  • Full HPI, HDS, and MVPI assessment with scored reports
  • Personal debrief with a certified Hogan practitioner
  • Structured post-assessment coaching program
  • Development plan tied to your talent-review process
  • Selection and succession reports for talent teams

Best for

Best for selection decisions, high-potential identification, executive assessment for succession slates, and any development work that needs defensible, research-backed data.

A shared language for style, impact, and teamwork

Insights Discovery

The most accessible entry point into self-awareness — and the stickiest.

Insights Discovery turns personality psychology into a practical, color-based language that entire teams adopt overnight. It maps conscious persona against blind spots and preferred working style, giving leaders and teams a framework they still use in meetings a year later. We deliver it as evaluator-led sessions, designed workshop programs, and coaching.

  • 1

    Evaluator sessions

    One-on-one and small-group sessions built around each participant's personal profile — conscious persona, blind spots, color-energy preferences, and position on the 72-type Insights wheel.

  • 2

    Workshop design & facilitation

    Full programs designed for your context — new manager cohorts, director influence programs, executive team alignment — delivered onsite or virtually by certified facilitators.

  • 3

    Coaching

    Individual coaching that uses the Insights profile as the working language — turning self-awareness into specific behavioral commitments with follow-through.

  • Insights Discovery personal profile for every participant
  • Certified evaluator-led debriefs and team sessions
  • Custom workshop design for your level and context
  • Team color-energy mapping for working-style alignment
  • Follow-on coaching to cement new habits

Best for

Best for team development, new-manager cohorts, communication and influence programs, and organizations that want a common language for feedback and collaboration.

The four color energies

How engagements are structured

Most clients start with one of these three shapes — then scale what works.

01

Individual assessment & coaching

One leader, full assessment, certified debrief, and a structured coaching cadence. The standard package for succession candidates and critical hires.

02

Cohort programs

Assessment plus group workshops for a manager or director cohort. Shared language, peer accountability, and visible pipeline development your talent team can measure.

03

Team & workshop engagements

Insights-based team alignment, facilitation, and onsite workshops. Designed around your specific friction points rather than off-the-shelf content.
