Intent vs. Impact: Coaching self-awareness and workplace perception

Leveraging psychometric tools to shape professional perception 

We often judge ourselves by our intentions — what we mean to communicate, how we intend to show up, and the behaviours we believe we demonstrate. Yet, others experience us through the impact we create. 

In today’s complex workplace environments, developing self-awareness is essential for building trust, strengthening relationships, and increasing leadership effectiveness. Understanding the gap between intent and impact can help leaders recognize blind spots, better interpret feedback, and adapt their approach to create more meaningful connections. 

This webinar will explore how psychometric tools and coaching approaches can help individuals better understand their behavioural preferences, communication styles, strengths, and potential blind spots. By combining assessment insights with reflective coaching conversations, participants will discover how to bridge the gap between how they perceive themselves and how they are perceived by others. 

During this webinar, we will explore: 

• How to bridge the gap between what you intend to communicate and how others perceive you.  
• How to use 360-degree assessments as diagnostic mirrors, not report cards. 
• Practical coaching tools to turn feedback into actionable self-awareness and stronger workplace relationships. 

The session will take place on Tuesday, 15 September, from 3.00 pm-4.00 pm CEST / 9.00am-10:00am EST. 

Join us to explore how coaching and psychometric tools can help transform self-awareness into more intentional and impactful professional interactions. 

A monthly learning series 

This webinar is part of The Road to the Coaching Summit, a learning series designed to bring together colleagues from across the UN system to explore coaching, and assessments tools relevant to today's workplace.
