Companies and organizations the world over need and want this kind of information about people . . . people they want to hire . . . people they want to promote . . . people they want to fit into a team.

If you are an image professional, you are ahead of the rest because you are now accomplished in observing analyzing, and recommending solutions … the same tasks you would perform for companies and individuals with your additional related skills in implementing the Self-Discovery Process.

We give you ready-made, tested and proven tools that are simple to apply in any situation. They produce crisp, fact-based results that make your assessments and recommendations win quick acceptance from your clients.

You can use the tools in the Discovery Process to assess people for client companies -- or you can train their company staff people in using them. Boost your company's morale, getting higher productivity and lower sick leave.

YOU WILL PROVIDE A VALUABLE SERVICE

You will be providing a valuable service to companies large and small.

You can also use these same tools for consultations with individual clients who are seeking, not only image coaching, but broader "personal success coaching." Certainly, by testing yourself with these same tools you will gain great self-insight, valuable to you in promoting your business.

This Self-Discovery Process will open up a whole new field of opportunity and reward for YOU.

It is a great addition to what you can offer clients whether you now provide basic image consulting or have attained additional certifications . . . . . . such as our Certified Seminar Leader (CSL) certification, enabling you to make presentations that solve problems for businesses, or our CIC (Certified Innermetrix Consultant, please call for information) certification, enabling you to provide valuable assessments for individuals and organizations.

The Self-Discovery Process will complement and fit well with all of your other consulting skills and offerings. The Self-Discovery Process (also known as the 4 Step Process, was developed by Joyce M. Knudsen, PhD, Founder and President of The ImageMaker, Inc. -- incorporating, by permission, proven and accepted assessment tools from Inscape Publishing and Innermetrix.

SELF-ESTEEM

The FIRST STEP is Self-esteem. Corporations have been moving away from the "shot in the arm" approach to focus on the uniqueness of people with their program. They follow a process to find out the uniqueness of each person they work with and work with that person until they achieve self-esteem, knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses, what is important to them, and what their abilities are. Putting the right people in the right job for THEM is crucial for companies to have that cohesive environment free from stress and challenges.

You will be able to give them valuable help in this process by bringing to it such powerful tools as The IMX Talent Index, The Self-esteem Scale and Inscape Publishing tools to measure the values and self-esteem of the individual within an organization.

Identifying and improving an individual's sense of "how they feel about themselves" is crucial to success. You cannot accomplish anything big without knowing this. Your self-esteem has a direct positive influence on attitude and performance. What do you see when you look into that mirror? This knowledge can change your life.

The holder of a PhD in human services with an emphasis on self-image, Dr. Knudsen is a recognized self-esteem expert. Below is what she has to say about the importance of self-esteem:

"Your self-esteem level, success and challenges must be understood before you can be successful in life."

BEHAVIOR

The SECOND STEP is the DiSC model. DiSC is a behavioral and personality assessment tool in one. It is used to help people create a positive climate, become effective communicators and resolve conflicts within organizations. With 30 years of proven reliability, and over 50 million users, DiSC Classic remains the most trusted learning instrument in the industry.

VALUES

The THIRD STEP is the Attribute Index™. This index measures an individual's internal ability by separating intrinsic, extrinsic and systemic values. It has been found that companies are hiring people for hard skills and firing for soft skills. This index will scientifically measure the value systems of individuals to assist in recognizing job candidates with the "right" skill set. This index is based on the ORIGINAL work of Dr. Robert S. Hartman.

Robert Hartman had three PhD's -- in math, philosophy and law. While living in Germany, he saw the way people thought and how they saw the GOOD in BAD things happening. As a result, he wondered how he could make people think good, instead. He worked twenty years on developing the science of AXIOLOGY - the science of how people think, how the mind sees experiences and assigns value.

Dr. Hartman's index has been validated in over 30 scientific studies. It has been shown to be an extremely accurate means of assessing an individual's level of ability in over 80 key areas.

The Attribute Index™ gauges the individual's internal abilities by measuring values. Unlike any other index, it scientifically measures the decision-making style of individuals to assist in recognizing job candidates with the right skills. The Attribute Index™

Dr. Knudsen is an authorized distributor with certification as a CIC (Certified Innermetrix Consultant) and CIDC (Certified Innermetrix Distributing Consultant).

Together, it gives your clients all the information they need about their employees.
