Organizational Soul Language®

ELEVATING CORPORATE PERFORMANCE BY RESPONDING TO YOUR ORGANIZATION’S SOUL

Developed by Christine Koetsier during her years as an executive searcher – and codified in her book Soul Language – Organizational Soul Language is a tool used by the GEM Partners team to help identify executive-level candidates whose key personalities, character traits, talents, motivations, and core soul fit precisely with the fundamental nature of your organization.

Organizational Soul Language was created by Christine Koetsier when she realized  many organizations were held back from living their full potential because the key players in the company were not operating in real harmony. After years of extensive research into the underlying dynamics of both organizational souls and the unique soul language of each individual, the Organizational Soul Language tool emerged.

It is field-tested and is now ready to maximize the performance of corporate leadership assets in an organizational and management context. For more information about this powerful tool – expertly wielded by our team for recruitment, consulting, and management purposes – contact us at GEM Partners.


Vitals®

IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TEAMS WITH THE UNIQUE  INDIVIDUAL STYLES AND TEAM DYNAMICS INDICATOR

VITALS® is an individual styles and team dynamics indicator that evaluates an individual’s style and its impact on group dynamics. The tool helps to understand their personal operational styles and how those styles contribute to

a team. VITALS® brings insights in  the  implications for the working dynamics of the team and shows the team how to make the most of combination for superior team performance, considering personality traits that can contribute or detract from successful group performance.

Understanding the key operating styles and proclivities of each team member suggests how to create consistently productive, harmonious and effective teams.

Naturally, VITALS® does not measure how good or bad a person is. Everyone has a management and mismanagement style.  Rather, this assessment helps individuals and teams become aware and sensitive to how to make the most of their productive style and to contribute effectively to team success. If you want to learn more about VITALS®, let’s connect at GEM Partners.

When I was searching for a director for my early stage medical start-up, Boardwise found an experienced Board Director who has both been the founder of a publicly traded company and on the board of several start-ups and public companies. The director is a perfect fit for us. I recommend their Board Bona Fide registry and services to any executive or board seeking quality talent and solutions.

I have gained new insight into my career development by participating in the Board Access program. The assessment, coaching and simulations have been invaluable in opening my perspective about what more I can do to effectively prepare for a position as a Board member. My coach, Donna Hamlin, is an incredible resource and brings a global set of experience and expertise across industries and geographies to help you think broadly but also engage locally in your career. Every senior woman should go through the Board Access program!

The Board Access program has both helped me structure my thinking about what type of board position fits with my experience, interests and ambitions today and then developed my relevant brand and board profile to match my ideal fit. I found the board simulation and my time with my coach, Murray Cook, to be incredibly valuable is testing and evolving my thinking and skills to serve as a director.
