Psychometrics can be engaging and powerful tools. They allow you to celebrate known strengths, unlock hidden ones, and can highlight areas for thought and development. With the commercial market for psychometrics continuing to expand, navigating the different tools can seem overwhelming as a coach – particularly when thinking about what to include in your coaching toolkit.
Widely agreed, a coach should never debrief or advise on a psychometric tool when they have not been formally accredited in doing so. However, you may find yourself in a coaching conversation with someone who wants to reflect and work through a report they have already received. This session is an opportunity to help build your confidence in navigating these situations appropriately and effectively.
David Ball graduated from the Meyler Campbell Mastered programme in 2017 and is currently Head of Coaching and Team Performance at Rathbones. He is passionate about psychometrics and wants to work with coaches to build confidence in understanding the foundational practices of psychometrics, how they are built and when to explore them in practice.
In this three-hour workshop, attendees will be shown how to read results, and to ask specific questions on some of the main psychometric tools for development, including Belbin, CliftonStrengths, DiSC, FIRO-B, Hogan, Insights Discovery, Lumina Spark, MBTI and SDI.
This workshop is an opportunity to take a step back and look at the fundamentals of how psychometrics are structured and used, reviewing the key design terminology, as well as looking in detail at some of the most common tools and reports you might see as a coach.
With over 25 years’ experience of working in professional services, David originally qualified as a solicitor before moving into development and coaching. He has held roles as Head of Learning and Development in several Professional Service Firms and commercial organisations and is currently Head of Coaching and Team Performance at Rathbones.
David completed the Mastered programme in 2017, with a particular interest in how the mindset, discipline and practices of high-performance sport can challenge individuals and teams to fulfil their potential and perform at their very best.
David’s passion for working with psychometrics has inspired him to build a personal portfolio of accreditations, as well as completing an MSc in Psychology, helping to understand the different elements of these tools, how they can build confidence and boost performance when used responsibly and supportively. Whether using formal reports, floor mats or even Lego bricks to help bring the tools to life, David is a big believer in the connection people can make with the right psychometric tool and the insight it can unlock.
