SDI Assessment
Understand what matters to people—and what drives their response.
Bring motivation, strengths, and conflict patterns into focus. Then use that insight to make better choices together.
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) helps people understand their motivations, the strengths they bring to relationships, and how they respond to conflict. The Three Drivers helps them examine how habit, emotion, and logic shape their choices in the moment.
Together, they turn self-awareness into something useful: a more thoughtful conversation, a clearer decision, or a better response when the pressure rises.
The SDI: understand the person
Explore what matters to you, how you use your strengths, and what changes when conflict enters the picture. Recognize that another person may approach the same situation with different motivations.
The Three Drivers: examine the choice
Notice the familiar habits of the Robot, the influence of Emotion, and the options Logic can help you consider. Ask what is shaping your response—and what you could choose differently.
From insight to your next conversation
A colleague challenges your plan. You hear criticism and feel the urge to defend it. The SDI gives you a way to explore the motivations and conflict patterns involved. The Three Drivers helps you notice your interpretation, emotional response, and automatic reaction.
Instead of reacting immediately, you can ask what the other person is trying to protect or accomplish, test your assumptions, and choose a response that moves the conversation forward.
The Four Skills put the insight to work.
- Drive: Stay connected to the purpose and outcome you want.
- Resilience: Regain perspective when the conversation becomes difficult.
- Curiosity: Explore another person’s view before deciding what it means.
- Collaboration: Work toward a solution people can support.
A profile is the beginning.
Jeff helps individuals and teams connect their assessment results to the situations they actually face. The work can support a team offsite, leadership development, recurring interpersonal friction, or stronger day-to-day collaboration.
- Complete the assessment. Build a picture of your motivations, strengths, and responses to conflict.
- Explore your results. Connect the profile to your experience and relationships.
- Apply the insights. Use real situations to practice communication and make more deliberate choices.
For continued application, leadership coaching helps you prepare, practice, and reflect on what happens next.
