Introduction
Inscape Publishing is well known for
its self directed assessments. The research-based self-assessments
provide a framework for people to learn about themselves and
others in a comfortable, non-threatening way. The self-assessment
tools take complex human behavior issues, simplify and personalize
them so individuals can discover and capitalize on their strengths,
understand and value their differences, and work together effectively.
Along with a wide range of self-assessments,
Inscape Publishing offers facilitator kits that trainers can
use to administer the profiles and programs in facilitated sessions.
Sheila Wilkins is an authorized

Work expectations
Profile®
Work expectations are those things
people consider likely to happen in their job situation,
either now or in the future. Whether spoken or unspoken,
met or unmet, expectations have a powerful impact on our
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and play a key role
in driving our attitudes. The Work Expectations Profile®
helps people explore 10 work expectations that impact
today's employment relationships.

Research shows that people who have
clearly defined, well-communicated expectations find more
satisfaction and success in their work than people whose
expectations go unspoken or unrealized. Companies that
employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of
increased productivity and reduced turnover.

Team Dimension Profile®
Successful team members don't do
the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing
at the right time. While team members work together toward
a common goal, individuals still must play their individual
roles in the process. As organizations rely more and more
on teams to innovate, problem solve, produce, and compete
at the speed of change, they must clearly understand and
capitalize on individual approaches to group processes
if they want to create high performing teams.
The Team Dimensions Profile® helps
teams in your organization:
Identify
individual strengths and approaches to teamwork
Clarify
team members' roles
Reinforce
the contributions of every team member
Reduce
project cycle time and increase productivity
