The skills assessment is the best way to drastically improve your professional life by finding a job that fits your motivations, your talents, your values… Indeed, in this period of huge changes in our society, it’s important that your job reflects who you are and makes you want to get up in the morning. The skills assessment is there to help you in this search process.

The specificity of Blooming Stone is that the skills assessment is made by a coach and not by a consultant! The fact that you do it with a coach guarantees that you will not be influenced in your choices: the coach will help you find your way by yourself through his questioning technique, because in coaching there is no advice. The coach also allows you to truly go and find the beliefs, values and life missions that you want to embody, to go beyond the simple response to your behaviors and skills.
