Origin Assessment

Origin Assessment is the process of understanding the root cause of the situation. When the origin is understood, sustainable solutions can be applied and strengths amplified.

Until there is an understanding of why a situation has presented, a lasting resolution cannot be found. The answer is in the WHY.

In order for individuals and organizations to move beyond temporary, stop-gap solutions, it is vital to look at what is creating the situation and make holistic, purposeful decisions.

Without understanding why a situation is present, attempts to address it will only shift the problem from one form to another. Strengths cannot be fully realized and applied until the origin is understood.

Optimizing strengths and cultivating sustainable, far-reaching solutions are the results of Origin Assessment.

Philosophy

I hold an intense interest in the role of authenticity in the realization of full potential at both the micro and the macro levels. The same principles apply to both the micro-individual level and the macro-organizational/international level. Through years of research, advising and practical application, I developed the method of Origin Assessment. Through a distillation of core principles and universal law this method of cultivating answers produces a solid foundation for optimized, fully realized potential.

Often the initial drivers that create success are the same ones that limit and ultimately cap the realization of full potential for both the organization and the individual. Optimizing success, effectiveness and satisfaction is rarely about working and pushing the existing method harder. In order to achieve the highest potential, the individual's and the organization's most authentic expression must be revealed. This is the highest point of success. Origin Assessment capitalizes on the unique strengths of the organization and the individual to achieve excellence and differentiation.
